[MOD] Exotic Parrot 31136: POPSY EDITION

[Marooned Marin]

DESCRIPTION
LEGO 31136: Exotic Parrot is truly a wonderful set. I was lucky to get my hands on one during 2024. Eurobricks Classic-Pirates ‘Infamous Steve’ contest. I assembled the prize right away, and then the obvious question came to my mind: "I wonder how it would look in red?"

Other than paint-job, I did several changes on the wings and one change to the tail - mainly removing all the visible studs. I also added real Popsy on the branch behind the flower - see next image.

WHO IS POPSY?


IMPORTANT DETAILS
This is not an alternative build, this is a MOD (modification) of the original LEGO design. This means that you can use some parts of the original set, but you also need to purchase a fair amount of bricks and pieces on the side.

Since this is not a very large build, and if you own the original, I suggest you buy all the pieces and then have two parrots instead of one.

Nice MOD, glad to see you aren't completely disappearing after the contest is done!

Thanks!

I have a project under development outside Classic-pirates world, which was completely stopped these last two months due to the contest and the comic-book.

But before I dive back into that world, and temporary disappear over the horizon, I going to try my luck with the Island in the upcoming BDP-series 6. Due to the limited available part-list in this latest series, I must make numerous modifications in order to meet the submission requirements, and fast, because series-6 starts in less than a month.

Brilliant, Lego should have done this in the first place.

Brilliant! I bought both the original and the newer pink variant because I love them together. But I did wonder why they didn't do a red one like this. Might have to add a third to the collection.
