Picked up this classic alien minifigure at a secondhand toy store about a month ago and wanted to give him a little ship. Built this bad boy in maybe 20 minutes.
I wanted purple and translucent orange, and I also wanted odd shapes and angles, so those purple flairs and the translucent dishes and side bit were pretty nice. Overall I am very happy, and I think my alien is too.
At first glance, I thought the thing the ship was resting on was part of the ship itself, and spend a good five seconds trying to figure out what LEGO pieces it could be made of.
I thought that fancy shmancy suit was just a funky tattoo. Hard to tell when your selfMOC, you in LEGO, has been lost to time. Also, Bionicles don’t wear clothes. You are the Akaku man. You are Bionicle
Ignore the messy desk, I was shooting photos of my guys. Modular shelf, so I can add more units to it as well! The pins towards the top are two colors because I ran out of yellow filament.
I thought it was just part of his flesh, like how moths have designs on their wings to look like big eyes.
