badchriss Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Admit it,we all were filled with joy when the news droped that 2018 will see new "Wizarding World/Harry Potter" sets. One set that caught my attention was that amazing black coach from the second "Fantastic Beasts..." movie with the introduction of a new mold for the Thestral,those creepy and cool horses with bat wings. Lego did a nice job,but i thought the Thestral could need a bit more articulation for the wings.Usually,they only move up and down,which looks okay and fits when dragging a victorian era coach through the air... IMG_20180906_230841 IMG_20180906_230826 But what if you want to have the Thestral in a MOC or just want to depict a wild Thestral?They don´t always run around with heir wings spread out left and right... How about folding them to the back IMG_20180906_231207 Or unfold them at an angle? IMG_20180906_230900 With the use of 5 additional bricks,you can do this as well... IMG_20180906_231011 IMG_20180906_231016 IMG_20180906_231049 I hope you like this neat little modification. Quote
Fenghuang0296 Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Pretty much what I expected, but still looks good! Quote
Vindicare Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 What a great idea! Something so simple but looks good, especially the “folded back” way. Will definitely use this. Quote
zoth33 Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 Excellent Idea i will have to change my modification to this. I like the way the wings have so much movement that way. Thanks for sharing. Quote
