At the start, I already set my target on making my entry based on a set, originally I was thinking of choosing either Sentai Headquarters or Combat Crawler X2, however I didn’t have a good amount of a certain color or parts I needed… yes I was planning on using a shit ton of bones on the Sentai Headquarters!
With Storm Lasher, the only part I didn’t have that I need for it was the sword pieces for the wings, or the amount I need at least. I use some other blades as a replacement for the lack of those parts. As you can see, I use lots of bones to make the around wing like with the Cave MOC, but all cover with shells.
The tail I didn’t have the parts I need, and the first thing that came to my mind is using the Skrall’s helmets; was a bit annoying putting them on until I found the hand joints to get the shaping right.
The weapons I could had just went with more detail, but I wanted to add some shooters for no reason whatsoever, and now they look like eyes. And with covering the front of the head and the bottom I had to use some rubber bands to get some add-on armor to stay put.
As with the Mini Dragonfly Bot, the color of the wings have to be replace with white, do to not having those hinge pieces and there not being a lot (that I have) of transparent pieces to be use as wings.
For the rest of it, thankfully the banana costume with hand in it helps give a curve shape on top, and than finding ways to get it not to look like a banana on top of a bug.
