[MOC] Aranya

[Mitch Henry]

 

I present to you this little spider monster, simply named Aranya. It was an absolute nightmare to build but the end results were worth it. I think it might be my best MOC to date. Something thats a bit unusual is its front claw/pincers. The whenua claws are dented ever so slightly, and as a result, the pincers click together and stay closed at any angle.

You can check it out on Flickr or take a look at the Imgur album for more photos if you like what you see.

I like this, very BIONICLE-y, it works well by condensing various Technic bits that could have been expressed more basically otherwise. The underbelly also seems pretty clever, I'd like to see more angles on that.

(not a huge fan of tires on the arms, but that's just personal preference)

I love the use of the Vikings "Midgard Serpent" head for his body, it's very organic looking and feels both like a natural look for a spider, AND a Bionicle-esque mechanical military themed nightmare!
