Staff MOC, Psuedo Ussal
Posted by Richard on March 3, 2010 at 03:54 PM CST:
 
This MOC is of a specialy bred Ussal Crab, designed to be a single-seat vehicle. The rider was from the Ko Wahi region, so I made the Ussal white to match the rider, which may have been a mistake, as the rider kind of melts into the colorsheme. The carapace was designed to look like a naturally reclined chair, while the blue eyes sit on long stalks to compensate for the rider's feet stretching over his head. As a note to the reader, the technic balls near the jaws of the MOC were never intended to be eyes, but they do look like they could be.
  
With my lastest revamp, each of the legs are now connected to the body with something very similar to the design used on Skirmix from the "Fero And Skirmix" building set. The joints on the legs are loose, but they still support the weight. The nuurahk staffs both make great pincers for it's origins as a crab, and allow it to be posed on a variety of surfaces that flat feet cannot grip very well. The Rahkshi parts on the back helped greatly in making a reclined seat for the rider as well as rounding off the back end of the crab and giving it a shelled look.
