Cyber Critter
This little craft is a re-imagining of the Cargo Critter that I build back in 2020, transformed into a cyberpunk rust bucket. This took the majority of my final weekend of building for the New Hashima City collab coming to Brickworld Chicago, as in spite of being based on an older MOC, much of it is redesigned entirely to capture the cyberpunk aesthetic. This one was challenging because I had to create the shaping of the original from my limited selection of sand green, since it was unlikely anything I ordered from Bricklink would make it on time. I wound up using weathering to replace parts I didn't have, or in some cases didn't exist, in sand green. I might have been a bit more subtle with it if I'd had time to order what I needed, but I think in context the extensive rust does work.
