Loves It! Let me guess, it's vegetarian. :D

Hi Joe, are you doing well? I can imagine three kids is a whole lot of work ('cause I've tree myself :-) ) , but hey, you get three times the love. It has been a while , but I'm almost getting to building again. I have a marvelous idea, but maybe I do the Mehari in real first. Don't know yet... Many greetings, Hope to hear you soon!

10/10

Thanks Vibor, I hope to post my favourite creature tomorrow.

Awesome work. Creative and smart use of parts, especially in a tail

A big thank you to Brothers Brick for blogging this :)

Thanks for the kind comments guys. I am surprised how popular this one has been. He is my second favourite of the 5 I built. Cant wait to show you the last one.

KilleR!

ravishingly beautiful!

It's because of these sleek and well executed designs that I love Lego. Lots of character and attitude. Thanks for sharing.

awesome aggressive stance as seen in that side view shot. Looks like he is thinking about attacking some food, and saber-toothed makes me think he isn't hunting acorns... Nice build!

Love the tail. Using the tooth plates for ears was very clever. You should add it to the Paleontology group. Great work!

This is amazing! I love the colors, and the clean body. Now I started thinking of every rodent, but saber toothed!

This is crazyly well made!!

Thanks guys, I really enjoyed building this one and have a few more to post shortly. Currently working on some huge dinosaurs :)

Fab build, loads of character :)

Wow, that's excellent Lego sculpting. It looks really similar to Scrat, but not so "cartoonish". The tail construction is very clever, even better than on the original Red Squirrel. Great job! :-))

Thanks guys, I really like him too. I think the tail really makes this one stand out. @ LB - the green tube is official I think, I found it in the Bright Bricks studio.

Full of character and I love the contrast between the tail and the plated body.

really - that'S one of your best one's ;-) nice mix of characters!

I really like the eyes. I didn't know they have green tubes, or did you paint it? -LB Jr.

absolutely excellent

what a character !>.....nicely done

Haha he wont like it if he thinks we are talking about him ;)

I like how paranoid it looks because of it's big eyes.

Haha brilliant. Thanks to everyone else too

Great work! I love the detail!

AWESOME work, love the articulated tail!

It's like Scrat's badass cousin :)

Fantastic work!

I did build an acorn but forgot to photo it. He does have nuts though ;)

Great! Now where's the acorn?

Magnificent posing !

Spectacular! The head and tail both look great.

I don't know if someone said this already. But I right when I first saw him I thought of Scrat right when I saw him!

The face and the way he's posed give him real character. Where's his acorn ? :-)

Fantastic work MortalSwordsman! The tail is just eye candy! I love it! His body shaping is very well done, you have a certain style in making animal bodies that is instantly recognizable! Well done sir!

Wow thank you all for the comments. I must stress that the tail technique was designed by Family Vuurzoon. A link to his work is above.

Nice work! The way you did the tail is pure genius!

Wooow, this creature has a lot of character. Great work!

Very nice, I particularly like the tail, very interesticg construction there.

Amazing animal. The bushy tail and the evil eye expression makes it look frightening.

It looks good! Perfect Job! I love it!

you mean those things really existed? incredible! the sculpting is exceptional! it has a cool cartoony feel about it too, well done MS!

Very evil looking... I'm glad squirrels like that aren't around these days! :o

That tail! Love it!

Such a wonderful design! What fun it will be for visiters when they find this great lookin' critter! :)

Haha, I did build it but forgot to photo it in the rush to meet the deadline. However, if you look close enough you will see that he does have two 'nuts' ;)

Hi Arjen, thanks for the comment. As soon as decided to build ‘Scrat’ I sought out your fantastic red squirrel to use your clever tail design. Thanks for the inspiration. Joe.

Hi Guys, thank you all so much for all the kind comments

Very nicely done and, dare I say, kinda cute? Love the expression on the face and that tail design.

So cool! What an awesome creature. "The Lego Lost World Zoo", sounds killer. Congrats on the commission.

Hi Swordsman, A fantastic squirrel design! It certainly will look great at the Lego Lost World Zoo. Regards, Arjen.

To put it in the famous words of Scrat himself, "Gni?"

Awesome lean sculpting!

Haha! Great work! --Blast--

Lovely work Joe, and what a cool project too!

Dude, thas amazing! The technic for the tail is incredible! Amazing job!

One word: Wonderful! 5/5

Awesome! I really like how you made the eyes . He almost looks alive! Excellent

Excellent job!! 5/5 8-)

Nice! Love that tail...

Ferocious! Great job, Dude! But you forgot to build s wolly acorn to go with him.

This and the butterfly are both so good. Makes me really excited for the rest. I know you borrowed the tail design, still it works quite magnificently.

What a cutie. He would fit in quite nicely with the squirrels in my backyard. Kidding aside, this is really a wonderful creation. Excellent posing.

"After a few pints, Joe has appeared to hae cross breeded Ice age's Diago and Scrat." Jokes aside, this is really cool!! Diggin' the tail!

Looks a whole lot like Scrat though... Brilliant build! Much greetings!

Thanks for the comments guys, I will try and fly by your pages later

Awesome build! It does remind me the saber toothed squirrel Scrat in Ice Age! Great job! This MOC looks amazing! 5/5! :-)

So cool!

Hi! Amazing animal again! Fantastic!
