Animals are one of the hardest things to build in LEGO, due to their natural shapes and smooth surfaces. Unless you’re opting for robotic versions, you can’t just cover tricky parts up with any old light gray part and call it mechanical greebles! Brick Surgeon has done a wonderful job building a perfectly natural, realistic, and non-robotic LEGO bison. Here it’s being ridden by a warrior named Megedagik, whom we can only assume is too cool for horses.
Don’t miss the excellent use of minifigure hair pieces for the bison’s shaggy head, and assorted plants around the scene. The builder has used olive green minifigure heads as cacti — effective part use, further enhanced with some pretty lavender buds.
Nice moc, but the post title is a bit racist, I think.
Apologies, no offence was meant and we have now changed the title.
Yes, sorry serrico, I was just thinking of the old western movies when I wrote it, and people like Tonto from the Lone Ranger. I didn’t mean any offense to anyone.
