Cambion Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Flickr - Brickshelf sort of a Samus-like figure? not sure. definitely one of my favorite builds to date, though. this was on display at Brickfair VA 2013, and will probably be at every American Lego convention this year, with the exception of Brickfair Alabama. oh, and her name was constructed in the Matoran language. see if you can figure out its meaning (without looking at my comment on Flickr…) - Arc i'm really lazy about taking pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chro Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Pretty neat. Lime and light bley go quite well together- I wish I had more of both.I like the shaping, though I'm not a huge fan of the gun arm thing.

BrickPharaoh Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Fantastic build overall! And I love how you built the waist and hips. I will be posting a feMOC in the near future that incorporates similar techniques. Quote "Welcome to Valhalla, Warrior."

V-N Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I really love the flow. The pieces of armor are placed seamlessly as if they were meant to be there. In particular, I like the design of his back and the incorporation of the Toa Nuva chest armor in his lower torso. Really though, everywhere looks so smooth. The color scheme also works great, with the little bit of grey blending well into the lime green. The main thing that I think could be improved is the upper arms, which appear a little flimsy. The left lower arm is also a little strange (Chro says it's a gun?). If it is a sort of cannon, it could use a rounded tip to form a muzzle. The design is good, and flows well, so I don't think you should change it, but a muzzle would make it more identifiable and better looking.

Voxumo Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Argh *covers eyes*So much green.. it burns.. yet it is so pretty. But really this is a nice moc. The total use of green is just magnificent.. I wonder how many broken sockets you ran into?

Observedhalo Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I love that color but the pieces are so fragile. I couldn't finish one of my earlier MOCs because of how brittle they are.

Prevents the unnecessary breaking of pieces. But really that is a good choice and you would never notice you did. Hidden quite well. Also that weapon on the side now that i think of it as a cannon i kind of imagine this as a Samus armor.

Chro Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 From the OP:sort of a Samus-like figureMaybe Samus-inspired was the wrong wording... but at the very least I certainly agree about the similarities to Samus.

Zaxvo Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Wow. Simply wow. I really like your technique here, the use of the lime spiked inika feet on the legs parallels the use of the lime nuva armor on the torso and it's a really interesting use of the parts. Overall very slick and well put together. I like it. Quote . {Z} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Shockwave~ Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 That is fantastic. Though that one arm is a bit underwhelming, but the rest is just awesome. I like how you used the shoulder pad shells and the nuva chest armor. And parts of it are samus liike. With an appropriate color scheme and a different build in certain areas I could see it working as that. Maybe the fusion armor? I wish I had the pieces to pull that off...

Kayru Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) I really love how smoothly shaped it is. VERY well shaped. Well proportioned on top of that, which is tough to get right. I love lime, so that's quite a joy to see. Honestly I'd be really scraping the bottom of the barrel to find something I don't like. I'm not sure what I'd critique. Actually on a different note, it'd be really helpful for viewing ease if you made the images smaller before putting them on Brickshelf. They're currently at a huge resolution and the pictures aren't really high-quality enough for that to be much of a plus, so not having to scroll a bunch to see the pictures would be nice.
