About this creation

Rear view.

Legs.

The claws. The goal with them was to improve on the Malum flame claws. They took a long time to make through trial and error.

The tail. Flames are supposed to shoot out of the end.

The original.

First of all, I surprised myself with how quickly I made this.

I had 2 Jaller sets and therefore loads of transparent-orange frame parts, so I thought it would be easy to make him awesome. The name comes from the fact that his hands, chest and "stinger" are on fire. I'm very proud of those claws, by the way. The gold breastplate counted as interfering with my mods, because it just didn't match the rest of the model, and I had to give him bigger feet because his new flamethrower tail kept making him fall over. I used the orange fangs (from my NXT set) to add accents of orange away from the flaming bits. The tail, the main modification, is just wicked, and Bonfire appears to be rather well-toned. But most importantly, next to my version the original set looks pathetic. Exactly as intended.

Quoting Yuri Fassio Very cool. But the page is quite messy, the pics are mixed and without description. Also, re-check the rules.

Okay, I fixed the photo stuff. I checked the rules too, but I only took 3 pieces off, and they were interfering with my design for sure. The tail was added without removing anything, so according to the official rules it's totally okay too.
