Description
Inspired by the scope piece as the front wheels, and built for the Piece Out Vehicles contest . Voting has already begun!Yes, I realise that I've been building almost nothing but miniMOCs since August (miniMOCs are quickly becoming my favourite kind), but I promise that the next one will be more substantial. Until then, enjoy!

Lovely little build here. Staring at any piece too long usually results in something, if not good then at least fun, in my experience

Oh, definitely! It's also good practice for when one has no idea of what else to build

Very nice! I like the miniMOCs because they often inspire the most creative piece use ^^

Not only that, but their small size makes innovation the focus of the whole thing

Very creative!
Are the front wheels the target scopes from the Gali Mistika set?

Yep, they came from Gali Mistika. The second one came from the Axalara T9 vehicle.

No need to worry about the minimocs. I've been enjoying the unorthodox use of pieces, the wide variety of subject matter, and the excellent quality that these experiments have shown. There are so many MOCs of humanoid figures; it's great to see someone coming up with fresh concepts. (Not that I'm saying that all humanoid MOCs are bad; it's just harder to stand out.)

I agree, humanoid figures have been done to death, yet somehow they seem to be the most 'popular'. Still, the focus of all of these miniMOCs is to use pieces in ways that (hopefully) haven't been explored before, so they're rapidly becoming my favourite type of MOC. I just hope I can keep this up on a larger scale.

You know, I think this is the first time I've seen those scopes being used for something else besides being scopes. At least in such a clear way. Pretty smart.

And that's exactly why I chose to use them!

A question, though - didn't Ford T have a sort of "bump" in the back?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think that depends on which model you're looking at ( [link] ) but mine was a mishmash of them all. What exactly do you mean?

I was looking at this one. But yeah, I'm not all that familiar with Ford T. In fact, I was surprised to see so many different Ts.

Oh right, I see what you mean now. I guess that makes mine look a bit like a truck. Ah well, artist's license!

Indeed. Also, on a completely unrelated note, my cat is refusing to leave my lap.

I tend to get the most work done when my cat is in Anchor position...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Anchor position? Firs time hearing that expression, so please forgive my slowness.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A term I use to describe when a cat is sitting on your lap, and therefore you don't want to move. Hence, anchor.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, makes sense. Yes, he's like an anchor.

Brilliant! I think the jewel-encrusted headlights drove the price up a bit, though...

I guess it's a pimp-mobile

Just popping in to say that I love miniMOCs, especially yours. I think that ti takes a special kind of ingenuity to look at Bionicle pieces and fit them together into something so limited in size, and get such a specific outcome. Great work!

Thanks! I really appreciate it

Haha, awesome! I've never seen that part used that way before, and it's kind of a surprise seeing how well it works as a wheel!

All part of the joy of experimenting, eh?

I don't mind the mini-mocs. They're truly brilliant and (at least for me) very inspiring, since it's outside-the-box thinking.
