hey it's felix Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Howdy folks. You've probably heard about the 2012 MOCathalon over at MOCpages? Yeah, well this is something I built for the category 'Will it Blend?'The idea was to fuse two different Lego themes together. Instantly I thought I should use Bionicle in some way then BAM! It hit me: Gukko Birds have 4 wings, as do X-Wing Fighters from Star Wars... I'ma make a Gukko X-Wing!^Click for gallery^In the end I just went with the basic shape of an X-Wing and used bits and pieces of what makes a Gukko Bird unique (colours, beak, katanas etc.). I'm aware that it's missing a few details on the X-Wing side of it, but I'm still pleased with the result. NOTE: The wings are meant to be simple. I tried detailed/complex designs and it actually looked terrible, so the simplistic approach was really the only way here.C&C muchly appreciated <3-FtC Edited March 11, 2012 by Felix the Cat Quote I have an old Flickr account here..Previously Feefeeri/Felix the Cat..I MOC sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybre Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 That was very well put together! It looks just like an X-Wing, Kashyyyk style, maybe.Did you use reference materials and JUST the Gukko? Quote mindeth the cobwebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dark Templar- Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Looks really good overall, I see the similarities to both. I like the use of the visorak body in the framework, those things make for great structural pieces and I haven't seem them used often.But one of the X-Wing's defining characteristics is its 4 engines - this has 2, they're way too big, and they should be on the wings, not the body. Those little knobs which were used on the axalara to control the functions would probably be a better size - possibly a little small, but probably more accurate than these.Oh, and hi, haven't talked to you in quite a while.

Axilus Prime Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Wow. Like Dark Templar said, the engines are misplaced, but it still looks good! I like the way the Gukko parts are placed, very similar to the X-Wing. (Beak=Front End, Head=Cockpit, Wings=Wings) 10/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHTrilogy Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Brilliant! It almost certainly would blend! My only irk is that there doesn't seem to be any engines at the bottom... Quote ~ CHTrilogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehlekdude Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Very nice, looks both like a Gukko and an X-Wing. As many have said, though, there really should also be engines on the bottom. I like the place where the cockpit of a X-Wing would be. Very nice use of that Rahkshi back. 9.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seranikai Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Everything flows very nicely, and it's easy to tell that it's a fusion. One detail you might add would be a equivalent of an R2 unit behind the cockpit. A Krana, or some other small Bionicle-related thing? A mask would be too big, though it would tie in nicely.
