Building the base.
Mostly basic plates, tiles and some decorative bricks.
Let's tile the edges!
I'm using the original Dark Gray color here.
Adding some decorative bricks.
This is where the motor will be mounted.
Building the mechanism to power the figure.
Sorry for the lack of focus here.
I love Technic mechanisms.
These will move the figure's feet.
It's known as the Hoeckens Linkage.
This will be used to move the torso of the figure.
I left the back partially open to show what's going on.
These will to used to connect the front decorations.
Time to build some conveyor belts.
Each belt has 28 tread pieces.
Which can conveniently connect to the bottom of plates.
So many 1x1 flower edge pieces (84 to be exact).
Time to mount them!
Original panels. I don't think the new ones will work.
Detail panels.
Let's connect everything together!
Finishing up the base design.
This connects the drive to the torso.
Adding 'cut' grass to the top of the base.
Have to leave gaps for the mechanism.
Let's build a lawn mower!
Vroom vroom!
The conveyor belts drive the wheels.
Time to build the figure.
Legs first.
Rocking the knee high socks.
Short shorts. This guy has style.
And white tank top.
He could probably lose a few pounds.
Arms.
Head.
Time to put him together.
Zombie man!
I guess he needs some forearms.
And a lawn mower to push.
Adding some texture to the ground.
And the 'uncut' grass.
Time for the decorations - uncut grass.
Lawn mower blade.
Cut grass.
I guess we need a motor.
If only it would actually cut my lawn!
At the end of a build session I always have a lot of open drawers.
