I tried to use some of the “signature parts” that came in the set, and I think I captured it well with the fins (flags) used as feet and the “tail” piece actually used as a tail. The set contained enough pieces to make two copies of the laser cannon, but I like asymmetric builds. Though I like the minimalist nature of the legs, I will likely be changing them at some point. I want to keep the flag usage, but I’m going to have to cram a knee joint in there somewhere.
I really liked this build. The scuba flippers will be the first to go, but I think I may add the waist/hip joints to my bag of tricks.
The Anti-Climax
And now here's a another SSC: the Mixel "Nurp-Naut" (set 41529) from Series 4.
Nurp-Naut
I tried and I tried, but I couldn’t come up with a use of the huge trans-clear domes that came with this guy. I tried to at least use the round piece for the top of the bot, but it just isn’t turning out. Overall, I’m not very happy with this frame. I figured I would take pictures, but now that that is done he’s gonna be parts. If I was reviewing this Mixel for use as a frame, it wouldn’t get a very good grade from me. Sure the price was great per piece, but all I feel I got out of it was the two mixel joints and a couple of clear domes that can be used for stations of some sort.
I can't really call this a "bonus," but I'm throwing it in here because I really don't think it stands on its on.
Here are more pics, for the sake of completeness.
