So, after my first mini build – seen earlier in the blog – I had a second bike sitting on my desk courtesy of my nephew picking it for me for Christmas. Loving the first hover/space bike so much I decided to make another. Here it is!
Some of you may recognise Star Lord from the recently released movie Guardians of the Galaxy. This mini model was once again made from pieces I had in NAND around my desk at work, apart from one. I had to steal a Harry Potter wand from Hogwarts in my office at home.
I actually prefer this one as it has pieces taking up the locations of both wheels thanks to a lot of what I call scarab legs. This is purely because all the ones I’ve used are from the scarab model I had. The actual piece part number is 4294997;
Four in total were used with the aid of a grapple hook and ariel piece they do quite well at taking the place of the wheels I think…
You may recognise the ‘wing’ used is the other from the set of two which I’d previously used on the first mini build, however this time the rockets come from a modified jet pack from the ninjago sets. There is a free clip at the back for an accessory too.
What do you think? Do you prefer this one or the first one? I feel the mods I did to the first gave me a head start on what I needed to make this one a bit more technical. Either way I think it just looks cool!
Have you made a mini mod recently? Where did you get your inspiration?
