Colibri is my first posted MOC. It is a Rahi native to Mata-Nui, specifically Le-Wahi. It is based on a hummingbird, with a vaguely quetzal-inspired tail. It is at least tangentially related to the Gukko, but much smaller and cannot be ridden. I designed Colibri with a gear function in the wings that causes the upper green wing to move, as well as the lower green wing. The silver portion remains stationary. The upper and lower wings move independently from each other but are attached to the same reciprocating function. It contains no CCBS pieces except for ones with nearly identical G1 equivalents. It contains one of the Lego rubber bands to hold the mechanism together. Thank you for viewing my MOC, and please vote for Colibri. https://flic.kr/p/HsFHnS https://flic.kr/p/HYex3S https://flic.kr/p/HYeweN https://flic.kr/p/HsL46v

Flickr This cute little guy is my entry for BBC #65, which is also a drastic revamp of the Terra Nui Hummaera Rahi I made a while ago. That old version, coincidentally, was the first thing I posted on Flickr. So this revamp was long overdue, and when BBC #65 came along, it was the perfect opportunity for me. Because the old Hummaera, cute as it was, looked little like a hummingbird. I'm very pleased with how the new one turned out. In particular, I was able to use a lot of my new pearly gold pieces on it, such as Hero Factory for the beak, and the awesome new Legends of Chima sets for the tail feathers. The Hummaera now features a movable head, wings, tail feathers, and toes -- although without a perch, he has to stand on his claws in an odd posture. Oh well. It's also only slightly larger than the largest real hummingbird, which is cool.Aside from the fact that it needed a revamp, I was partly inspired to make the Hummaera after I saw Epic, since I could not get the awesome image of riding hummingbirds out of my mind. ~B~
