I wasn't sure if this should be Creativity or Off Topic, but since it's Obduction and not Myst, I figure... Eh! Might as well play it safe and shove it in OT. (Mods, if you think this should be in Creativity instead, I won't object to it being moved.)

[Reveal] Spoiler: Arai Beetle (LEGO CCBS SYSTEM MOC)

I built an Arai Beetle!

While, sadly, I don't have all the necessary pieces to make it the right colors to match ingame, the shaping is almost near spot on, as I used several reference photos of the ingame model to replicate it. The only shaping error is in the tail, in which I couldn't get it to have the lobster tail fin like in game.

[Reveal] Spoiler: Articulation

It's highly poseable- with each leg and the neck having multiple joints- the back abdomen is also on a single ball joint as well.

[Reveal] Spoiler: In Flight

It has removable wings that operate on a gear box, allowing you to rotate them to give the impression of the Arai's wings flapping!

[Reveal] Spoiler: Bye for Now!

Thanks for looking!

That's very cool, Calumon! Thanks for sharing.

I think you should post this on the Cyan Forums in the Obduction section as well. I'm sure there are Obduction fans who only visit those forums and not these. If you can't do polls there, you can point them here at the end of the post.

The Poll was mostly just for fun as a joke. ^U^;

I'll probably post over there once ive gotten the design finalized.

The INSTRUCTIONS have been created!

(EDIT: I'll be cross posting to the Cyan forum's obduction section just as SOON as i can figure out if I actually have an account there or not. (It won't let me make a new one, but I haven't gotten a reset password confirmation email yet so... 0_o))
