I bought Ninjago set 71761 for one specific purpose, that is to get those new LEGO angled element introduced this year...
.. and I don't want to spend a lot on doing so. And I don't want a very basic set either. So set 71761 was a good balance between price and non-juniorization.
Element design no. 79846
PROLOGUE
Set 71761 was bought alongside Creator Fantasy Forest Creatures and Turtle sets back on March 2021.
From the very beginning, I knew its parts count (about 90++ pieces*) was very limited for me to build a LEGO Transformer. I did try to build something from it not long after it was purchased. My expectations was correct... I failed. So this set was put aside for many months, till recently.
*That's even less parts than a typical small Marvel Mech set!
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Technically... I am still unable to build a Transformer with this set, however..... I managed to make a Transforming Mech Armor for Zane, turning it into a jet.
JET MODE
I must admit, this is probably the dullest experience I had building alternate creations from LEGO sets. The low parts count really was a limiting factor in allowing me to experiment with more building styles and techniques. But I gotta finish it somehow!
I know this creation might be beneficial to my fans/supporters out there. I'm doing it for you guys !!!!
MECH ARMOR MODE
Transformation photos are unnecessary due to how simple this creation is.
These 2 golden pieces were the last to be added on. I can't leave such nice parts unutilized.
AND HERE'S THE KICKER !
