Moko's MOC with LEGO® DREAMZzz™ 71457 Flying Pegasus Horse

Posted by Thomas Jenkins

Moko is no stranger to New Elementary or indeed the LEGO building community, so for this week of showcasing MOCs, we just had to invite him back! 

We sent Moko a copy of one of last year's LEGO® DREAMZzz™ sets, 71457 Pegasus Flying Horse to see what he could dream up for us.

I wanted to make something new for owners of 71457 Pegasus Flying Horse to play with, so I decided to make an alternate model with my copy from New E.



Looking at the set inventory, a dragon seemed like a good candidate for an alt model. So I set about making the coolest dragon I could out of the limited parts.



I paid extra attention to the face, and found a fun technique to make the eyes a little more menacing.

  1. Not sure if that eye technique would withstand vigorous play... or be legal...
