MOC: StarCraft Zerg Ultralisk

[Cecilie]

I made this Ultralisk as a Christmas present for my brother, who's an avid StarCraft fan. He loves playing Zerg, and a year ago he jokingly asked me to build him a huge Ultralisk out of Lego. It may not be huge, but he had totally forgotten he had asked me for that anyway.

Team color is lime green. I chose that because green is my brother's favourite color, and I thought the lime green popped well with the brown (besides, I seemed to have a decent amount of lime green in useful pieces for this).

Woo, cool. That is one clever build.

Damn Very neat build, the little lime in the color scheme looks very good, congrats!

Would look great with my Hydralisk and Joshua777's Zergling. =) Also, this is a confirmation to my theory that if one combines 2x1 plate with twin clips and small balljoint it creates a stiff, poseable connection. :3

This is a great build all around. I want to play with it!

Thanks Pep

Thanks. Yeah, I like how the lime popped with the brown.

Yeah, the connection works very well. Sadly, I didn't discover it myself, others use it too

Thanks, but no touching! It's not super solid

Well, your Ultra is first I've seen. Besides, I am a virtual builder so I can't test the connection for myself. Alas.

I hadn't seen it before, I think most people are better than me at hiding the connection . I saw one MOC that had a joint I couldn't figure out, and someone told me that was probably the connection he'd used, and I went "oh, you can do that?!" and proceeded to try it out here

I has menacing husks, and... it looks cute.

Nice use of the minifig legs in the arms. The whole thing looks appropriately chitinous and Zergy.

Cecilie,

Brilliantly rendered Starcraft II genus Ultralisk. True, it is a tad on the small size, we will call it a runt. Definitely not a Torrasque strain. Easily recognizable due to the four tusks and such. Props for the endeavor and effort as creatures can be a real pain to model in brick. When the pictures first loaded, I was reminded of this ridiculously funny fan art someone did and that made its way onto the Blizzard fan art page:

About the team color, I will leave it at the Zerg have a keen interest biologically in bioluminescence and call it a day.

Interesting to see this thread get a revival! Thanks for the nice comments guys

I've actually thought about redoing my Ultralisk at some point, there are some things with this I'm not too happy about.

[Sorrelon]

That looks great! Colour scheme is amazing and the tusk/claw/pincer things are very well done! Only thing I'd like to add is about its legs, which look a bit short to me. Slightly longer legs will bring the ultralisk closer to its real scale, which is giant in the game.
