Instructions: costum head for 2001-2003 masks

[Tattorack]

So, what if you have more masks (collected from all those little bags) than heads to put them on, but do have ample enough pieces to make a character?

Or, what if you have only heads from AFTER 2003, lots of star/agori/av matoran bodies but 2001-2003 heads aren't compatible?

Took me some figuring out, and since I haven't seen anything similar, here is the solution:

Enjoy!

There have been a lot of pretty good solutions, mostly developed on a MOC-by-MOC basis. But this is actually pretty clever. It's a great, sturdy, non-piece-intensive solution. It's nice that it doesn't require any system pieces.

That looks quite interesting, might try it sometime.

Sweet!

I do have to say your animation on the hand piece was not as spiffy,

But all in all, Congratulations.

That's awesome, great design, and the fact that you can interchange between socket and ball was a great addition!

 

I'll probably use this at some point; though I will want to tinker with it, because I think that finding a solution that doesn't use thin liftarms would be better! I'll be sure to credit you though

 

Btw, why did you use blender? LDD has all those parts, and has its own animated instruction software built in (at least last time I checked).

I know, I was just frustrated that I had this Miru Nuva and I couldn't use it for anything! So I spent a day on crunching the problem

A well, I'm not yet perfect when it comes to animation and the such. Thanks though

This was the only designe I could come up with that would fit with most masks without having to modify the basis everytime. I was actually surprised how little wobble those liftarms gave though, you have a higher chance of the mask dropping of then those things wobbling too much

 

LDD has bionicle parts now!? I haven't checked up on LDD since...... well since 2007

Haha yeah, well they mostly only have the bionicle parts that were used in HF villains, and a few other more important parts... hopefully in the future, they'll eventually add all the parts, so we can start using mata masks and such!

I guess I'll keep to modelling in Blenderb then, it would also give me the possability to use them part for other things...

This is an okay solution, very similar to mine. When I get my MOC back from brickfair I'll show you mine.
