I recently went to Michaels and saw a few models there that would perfectly fit in with some of the Prototytans, so I picked them up, along with a few other supplies. I picked up a couple of packs of Legos for the joints and set out working on them.I didn't get very far though. I believe my designs will work as good toys, but the model itself may be too small for what I want to do with it. I'm not used to using the tools and it certainly showed today.
As I was working with my Dremel to shave off some excess Lego bits, the blade broke and cut me in the forehead. On top of that, I can't even find the piece I was working on. I looked over the place for about 20 minutes, and it's nowhere to be seen. So I'm definitely not made to kitbash. I didn't even get very far either.
As you can see, I removed the wings and cut them in half so I can glue hinges to them to let them fold up. I did the same with the tail. I glued one wing together, but the hinge is so tight now, I don't think I can get it to fold if I wanted to. The engines on the side would split in half and fold down to become the legs, but the wings would only interfere with it. And I have no idea how to mod the plane's nose to make it a head. And just so you know, it was supposed to end up being a wolf.
So anyway, I think I'm giving up on this. Or at least until I can find that piece that shot into my noggin. At least the models were cheap. Maybe I should just stick with 3D models.
