“Hello there!” ... аs a wise man once said. From a planet far, far away, a warrior emerges as our LEGO Quick Build #3. You probably know him as the “head clanker” but trained by Darth Tyranus (a.k.a Count Dooku), General Grievous is one of the most skilled lightsaber wielders in the galaxy. And one of the best-looking Star Wars villains for sure.

As always, the idea behind the build was to have it small enough, so one can easily place it on a desk or a shelf. I've built it only as a bust, but if you are up to the challenge, you can try to come up with the rest of the body and share your creations with links in the comments below.

The Instructions

Now let's get to it! This time I tried to create digital instructions, so now you have also parts list which can be easily imported to BrickLink. Download the parts list here.

Sticking To It

And if you want to add more details I would suggest using these stickers from 76169 Thor Mech Armor set. The ones meant for the waist of the mech are perfect for creating the mouth and the stripes above the eyes. Here's what I did:

Cut the end of #1 to use it as the “mouth” piece. It's best to cut the black outlines only.
Cut the black border between both waist stickers and split it in two. These will serve as the stripes above the eyes.

Hold onto your lightsaber, because General Grievous is back in action!
