About this creation
The origional Griffon Beast was started about a year ago as a side project. I was never quite satisfied and so last weekend I spent about six hours re-building it into a true griffon. In case you don't know a griffon is a mythical beast with the wings, head and front legs of an eagle and the body of a lion. Personally I believe this version far surpasses the origional in all aspects. Take a look for yourself and please leave comments, I always appreciate hearing from other lego enthusiasts.



Enlarge image 		   Bow before the might of the Griffon



Enlarge image 		   The entire body and legs were completely re-built from scratch while the head and wings had highlights added, the tail is the only completely origional segment of the first griffon beast.



Enlarge image 		   Just look at how much has changed.



Enlarge image 		   Now this guy REALLY has a reason to run.



Enlarge image 		   The front legs of an eagle and the back legs of a lion, just as a griffon is meant to have.



Enlarge image 		   Just look at the feet, they're so much better than the origional



Enlarge image 		   The body has definition now. The chest is larger than the stomach, and the body is actually rounded to a degree.



Enlarge image 		   From above. The yellow is really carried well throughout the body



Enlarge image 		   The tail was not modified at all, I'm quite happy with it as it is.



Enlarge image 		   If you ever find yourself in this guy's position don't look up. Check out the contour of the underside.



Enlarge image 		   Like I said, don't look up!



Enlarge image 		   Wings have more flexability. Here they are folded up as the Griffon rests.Notice how the legs are able to be bent slightly inwards or outwards with the new click and pivot hinges.



Enlarge image 		   Laying on it's stomach the Griffon plays with it's food.



Enlarge image 		   Back legs in the laying down position.



Enlarge image 		   Absolutely Beautifull!!! I'm very satisfied with the turn out of The Griffon.



Enlarge image 		   Look closely at the forearm/foreleg. I don't even know how to explain how I managed to switch the stud direction.



Enlarge image 		   Look I actually used those strange Aquazone pipes in the forearm.
