Rocky from Project Hail Mary - Alt of 31166 Beautiful Horse
BlockTalk Summary
A LEGO fan created a custom model (MOC) of Rocky, the alien character from the novel *Project Hail Mary*, using parts from LEGO set 31166. The builder, /u/GhostGrandClock, shared their creation on Reddit, showcasing the challenges and successes of the build.
The MOC of Rocky required numerous ball joints and hinges, which the original set 31166 did not provide enough of. Despite the limitations, the builder managed to create a poseable figure capable of various actions, including "jazz hands," "loafing like a cat," and sleeping in a "dead spider" pose, which are all references to the character's behavior in the book.
The builder noted that they were not entirely satisfied with the model's stability, as it was difficult to pose and keep standing. However, the ability to replicate Rocky's unique poses demonstrates the builder's creativity and dedication to the project.
If you enjoy building custom LEGO models, you might find a LEGO parts organizer helpful for sorting and storing your pieces.
My first MOC. 31166 doesn't have enough ball joints, Rocky needs so many joints and hinges. I'm not super happy with how difficult he is to stand up and pose, but he can do jazz hands, loaf like a cat, and sleep like a dead spider (canon). submitted by /u/GhostGrandClock [link] [comments]
