Modding a Dino Attack T-Rex for animation
Bricksmith posted a topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Hi all! I have recently bought a Dino-Attack T-rex for an animation i'm planning on doing in the near future. It's such a beautiful and underrated model that i really want to do it justice onscreen. However, my issue with the model is the articulation; with the legs, arms and head all being on exo-force style ratchet joints. (NOT my image. Belongs to -R8- on Flickr. For demonstration purposes only) Would anyone know a way to mod the creature so that the legs retain their strength but enable smoother motion? I'm considering sanding down the ratchets to a point where there is still friction but no places for the leg to 'snap' into. My only worry with this is that the friction will be lost and the legs will become loose. Any suggestions? They would be much appreciated! Many thanks :) -
Hi all, this my next review on the dino attack set 7476 iron predator vs. t-rex. (known as 7297 dino track transport in Europe) oddly, in Europe dino attack is called dino 2010 and the sets have cages and ropes instead of weapons. anyway, onto the review. set name: iron predator vs. t-rex set number: 7476 theme: dino attack piece count: 278 price: $40 date released: 2005 unfortunately i don't have the box, so i'll go right to the instructions. mine have taken some damage over the years. sorry the picture is blurry here, A, "random instruction page" that seems customary here. from left to right we have specs, digger, and viper. specs being my personal favorite. the printing on these guys is great, no back printing however. The t-rex, this thing is massive. it's over a foot long, (about 30 centimeters for non-US readers.) It might actually be longer than the tank! the eyes and tongue light up as well. some love it, some hate it, but i think it's pretty cool. inaccurate to a real tyrannosaurus, but still cool. note that on the the head there are supposed to be two horns, but i cut them off years ago to make it look like a more like a real t-rex, unfortunately that was before i realized its value. The tank. it has a good color scheme, and sturdy construction. the set has a lot of stickers, but most of mine are missing. front view. side view, the cannon arm kinda droops down, but i think thats just because the pieces on mine are worn out. back view. The interior, the screens and dino displays are some of my favorite bits. A machine gun is found on the side of the tank, a nice touch and adds play value. On the other side we have a fold down ladder, a clever little design. The set all together, nowadays the set is hard to find and expensive. but if you can find one in the $30-45 price range, it's a great set to have on display or for younger kids to play with. it gets a 9/10 from me. thanks for reading, more reviews hopefully soon!

review: 7473 street sprinter vs. mutant lizard
arc posted a topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Hi, this is my first review, hope you enjoy. set name: street sprinter vs. mutant lizard set number: 7473 theme: dino attack piece count: 42 price: $5 I'll start with the box the dino attack boxes show destroyed buildings, cracked roads, and walls of fire and lightning. pretty violent for lego, but cool nonetheless. the back, note the alternate model, not something we see nowadays. the instructions. sorry this one's a bit blurry. the minfigure in this set is called digger, a nice minifig. no back printing however. the weapon this guy carrys is huge. if stood tip down, the gun is taller than the minifigure! the dino, or "mutant lizard" these guys have a pretty bad reputation, I like them though. side view. they're pretty long and slender. the quad.or atv. the color scheme looks pretty good. and the model is very sturdy. front view side view. here you can see the front and back aren't quite level. back view. i'm not really sure what that blue thing is. here it is all together. Overall, a neat little set that goes great with the rest of the dino attack line, if you can find one at a reasonable price, it's worth it if your a dino fan. -
