FAPC The Parrots will conquer the world!

[jedi1984]

Here's my entry for the "Forbidden Animal Planet Contest".

So... King Parrot was tired of standing on Brickbeard's shoulder and it decided it was time to tell it to the captain.

This is my first try of a "Caribbean Steampunk walking thing". In my mind it was really better than the actual result, but at least I qualified to enter the contest.

Criticism, suggestion, flames and so on are welcome!

I hope you'll enjoy it!

This is awesome! I'm gonna go ahead and say that you've got my vote!

[Big Sal]

Hahaha, brilliant!

[soccerkid6]

Very nicely done! Love the action with the pirates and the mech itself is excellent

[DraikNova]

Extremely awesome. The captain is oddly happy about being bound in chains though .

[Bob De Quatre]

Excelent build! I always knew that parrots can't be trusted!

Ha ha, I know! I was in doubt if it was better to change the face or to use the classic head.

I solved it in a simple way: i had the complete minifigure in my hand, the option was to search in the minifigures boxes for a frighted head. It didn't take too much to decide

Thanks DraikNova, soccerkid6, Big Sal, Bob De Quatre & Eric Su for your comments

Wow this is a stunning creation!

You're a pro-builder!

[jedi1984]

Well, I'm really far from being a pro builder, anyway thank you very much! [Grazie mille!]

[Phantom X]

Yeah too happy if you ask me..... XD pretty good dude

[SpiderSpaceman]

The shoulder buddy role reversal is my favorite part of this . And I love the use of recognizable pirate supplies suggesting the parrot nagging parts to cobble the robot together bit by bit.

"Where did those barrels go?"

"Oh come on! I needed the helm! mates you better confess or I'll start keelhauling ye!"

"Mr. Crackers, how could ye? what are ye doi.. Aaaargh! put me down!"
