Greg Dalink
Defenders of Endor
This build was inspired by the limited gold pieces found in my parts collection. They pretty much all came from a Ninjago dragon and some Chima/ Hero Factory constraction sets but they set the tone by giving me the seed parts of the Chima lion heads at the thighs, the big claw bits at the shins, the disks on the chest, the starship bit at the midriff and the big rims on the forearms.
I went on a deep dive into Bricklink to see what other parts were available in gold and started building based on what could be colour swapped as Bricklink orders came in.
I took the same approach as with Zuckuss; I built the head first and then got everything else to fit which is why these two are bigger than the other Bounty Hunter mechs.
My first few attempts left me a bit dejected but once I embraced more of an Episode I vibe it really opened up the options and set the direction for the rest of the build.
I started this in February and he was 95% done by the end of June sans some colour swaps from incoming Bricklink orders.
He stands 33cm tall and weighs 337g.
The 3 minifigs are from Set 7956 Ewok Attack and the tree took way longer to build than I thought it would.
This will be on display at Brickvention in Melbourne in January.
