Today's post features another great Star Wars build - set #75040 - General Grievous Wheel Bike from the Clone Wars film.
This interesting vehicle was employed by the good gen'ral during the epic battle with young Obi Wan Kenobi. The build is very fun and utilizes a lot of unique build techniques, particularly in the wheel tread.
My favorite piece in the set, though, is the Grievous minifig. Not bound to the highly inaccurate body proportions as with regular human minifigs, Grievous looks just as menacing and cool as his movie counterpart, quad arms, light sabers, and all. Arguably, the best minifig rendition of all LEGO-dom.
Though not as cool, the set comes with a minifig Obi Wan, complete with double ended light "lance".
What this set needs to be truly complete is a brick rendition of 'Boga', the Varactyl ridden by Obi Wan during the big running battle sequence.
I am toying with the idea of coming up with a MOC version of the beastie...
