 With the slew of new parts coming out seemingly every season, there are truly never-ending possibilities if you keep your collection up-to-date. This model is one example of what you can do by coming up with another way of seeing the newest parts - the claws for this unusual crab are made out of those new skeleton-horse parts. There's only one picture of this one (making it a bit hard to figure out just how everything is connected), but there's a write-up that's very useful. See, if you look closely you can spot one 1x1 studs-not-on-top brick on the lower end of each horse - those 2 bricks are connected by a 1x6 smooth tile plate underneath. I'm not sure how sturdy this thing is, but this is one clever little model. Clever and scary - it is a skeleton crab, after all! |

Somewhere along the way, the BZPower Bionicle community decided to have a crab crawl-in at BrickFair 2010. While I'm sure they'll look pretty intimidating together as a group, I was planning on not featuring them individually, in spite of the cool techniques that inevitably show up when such small parts are being used. Fortunately, The Un-Sung Brick rounded up a few that are already online. I will be personally making sure we have photos of all of them at the convention - and if they're all as good as what we've seen so far, it's bound to be a great display.
