Underwater Tortoise

Underwater Tortoise

It wants to be a turtle, thus lives underwater. It's still a tortoise though, hence the tubes. Tubes apparently mean oxygen.

 

"peekaboo"

 

This creation made me learn the hard way that those corrugated tube pieces aren't as flexible as I would want them to be. You'll notice one of them snapped in three pieces that are loosely connected still (although they broke apart completely soon after these pictures were taken). I shall strive to use the now shortened pieces of tube simply as axle decorations. No more bending for them.

 

"It just wants to play"

 

Imo, the camera's flash does a good job of hiding the fact that the rahkshi arm pieces are of a slightly different dark grey than the other dark gray pieces.

The heels feel a little odd to me, and the way the sphere launching rubber bands connect feels wrong. The tail might be a bit too crooked as well. I do personally like how the cannon and barraki jaw pieces strengthen it's underwater feel.

What a creative and original idea!  Looks like a lot of thought and work went into this one.  I love it.

It reminds me of the years of old, when fans would make Rahi MOCS that looked a bit jumbled, but in charming, sort of way. I love it.
