The gooseneck tentacles can hold themselves up no problem. It's the stinger claws that are really limpy lol. Probably gotta make some wireframe for the stinger claws

[Maethius]

Weight load is often a real problem with customs that have actual articulation; even small to mid-range kits start getting heavy on the joints, especially when leverage is involved.

finally cleared the last hurdle! managed to come up with a way to attach the arms using the bionicle joints and here he is being fully posed on his own without any hot glue ! super excited n happy. one step closer to completion 







i just love the stance of this guy... so menacing lol

Oh wow that is perfect!! Everything is so well proportioned too. Very cool

Maaaaan! You need to build three of these so you can display it in all three modes! I would love to see this thing animated!

here are some shots of the stinger claws being deployed. shown with and without the werewolf arms for a clearer pic. 












hidden cannons from the claw also deployed for that extra kick lol

[Maethius]

Wow, it looks like some kind of crazed spider in that fourth shot! Giant cyber headcrab of doom!

(wow, that moment that you realized "headcrab" doesn't pop the spellchecker!) O.O

This is one of the best WIP the site has ever seen, and easily one of the best customs too.

I cannot wait to see what color scheme you go with.

Thank you so much for the encouraging words dude. Its a huge morale booster actually lol

i am back! have been posting updates all over fb, twitter, instagram etc.. i should do one here since this is sorta the birthplace of this beast lol. Here is some long overdue updates to the beast. 

I have the tentacles unit mounted , i have started on the base coat process, and i have sorted out the pincher shoulders and energy blade positions.. stil have abit more to do in terms o the boosters and a WHOLE lot more to do to the finishing of this beast. 












the nest few pics show the position of it in its final attack mode. still in progress of fitting the magnets but i have 2 already done to show how its going to look like . 

[Maethius]

That looks wicked... like a cross between a werewolf and a black widow spider... or a deadly squid. ^_^ I've always loved this piece, and I can't wait to see its final form! (That is assuming, of course, that it has a final form!)

Wonderful work!

[dchan]

Wow great build! Love the silhouette it creates. Very cool use of parts. Does it have arm and leg articulation still or did you opt to fix it in this pose?

[Snowflake]

gorrrgeous. the proportions seem strange but the joints are SUPER nice
