Description
Update I've worked on the head and got a midsection in there that I'm happy with.As I work on this MOC I'll keep updating it. This may also just become its official deviation.The current MOC I'm working on. I've been calling it the Rhotuka Tiger just to give it a name, but that's not going to stick. I'm very satisfied with the front section, getting used to the head, the back section is eh, but its been the midsection that's been giving me lots of trouble. I've been trying to get something sturdy but flexible. But its just not happening. Might have to get rid of the tubes There's no real way to connect them into either side and be stable so they don't pull out.

Dave, that head is AMAZING! I see you took the legs from between the back and front section.. Hmm.. Why not go for a double balljoint there? Like the things you use on the back leg. Maybe it would make it just a little bit more bulky but it would give it a bit more sturdiness.. :stunned:

Do you have the witch doctor set?
The witch doctor has a really interesting joint system, it may work for the mid section of your rahi.
Oh, and I already really like how it looks at the moment. ^^

No I don't. I wish I did. I could really use those ball joints.
I'm keeping black off this MOC as much as possible. I've got one black Vahki hip on the front and that's only cause I ran out of green ones.
Thanks alex. What specifically do you like or dislike? Be as specific as you possibly can. And some tips on how to approach that midsection would be nice to.

I used his foot joints for Angonce. came out good and sturdy. You should definitely do it. that is a great idea

You know, you answered my comment, so only I get a message that you commented and Dave won't, so I'm not sure if he'll even read this.

Unfortunately I can't offer you any advice, all my pieces are older than 2004, so I'm just gonna make it unusually complicated. XD
This looks promising though.

Amazing, even if I had the right pieces I couldn't build this. Truly amazing.

I would but I'm not using black on this MOC(except for pins) and I don't have enough parts in lime or dark grey.

I'm excited to see the finished MOC. I've been hoping for a big cat MOC from you ever since you did that little nyan cat one. I'm liking the color choice too.

Thanks Greg. I'm workin on it...Not really sure its a big cat though...My rahi always end up being weird blobs of a bunch of things.

...and suddenly I'm thinking peacock tiger. Birdlike hind legs and a big ornate tail with the body, front legs, and face of a tiger. I might just have to try and draw that now.

Ooo that'd be cool. Go draw that and then show me.

Quadrupeds aren't exactly my strong suit, but I'll give it a shot. I was working on a couple of other things, though, so it might not be incredibly soon that I draw the peacock tiger.
I did find this, though [link]

Hehehe. Yeeeah. Mines about 5-7:30ish. I am not a morning person. Even if I've been up all night into the morning. I still hate it. And I'm usually burnt out and read to go to bed by then.

I'm not a morning person either. I usually feel kind of nauseous if I'm up too early.
