Munty Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Yes it is simple but it's a nice enough build. Not sure it looks like a protector anymore rather than just a villager as it literally uses the bare minimum of parts required but that's not a bad thing. I wish the pic showed his arms and body a little better as I can't quite make out what you used on them, it seems nicely proportioned from what we can see though. I'd say you made a nice villager.

BonkersForBonkles Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Thank you! Here's another pic http://imgur.com/sJaZYDu It exposes his lack of forearms, but the arm length is too perfect that I don't want to change it. I wish the chest armor pieces came in black, any other color doesn't look right on this guy, so I kept basic plate armor. Since he's not a protector though, any idea on what I could name him? Assassin Villager? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munty Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hey I like that lol Not very Bionicle but hey How about 'Defender' instead of Protector? They could be the kind of town guard... I guess his arms would look too long with one of those short extenders? And probably a bit odd too! One question now we can see him a bit better (and thanks for the extra pic ) The armour on the front of his chest. Is it attached to one of those triple ball parts? I hope you know what I mean It's jus tthat it seems to protrude quite far. If it IS on one of those extra pieces, have you tried removing it and connecting it to the balljoint on the lower torso? You'd have to turn the armour piece upside down but it may work and make him a bit thinner Otherwise I still like this guy, nothing wrong with a simple build. Sometimes they can be among the best!

BonkersForBonkles Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 http://imgur.com/a/FrANB Taking off the triple thingy makes him look slimmer, but having the armor holes on top looks better to me. I think he'll be staying a fatty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vspinax Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Cool and simple!Not much to say about it, other than that I liked the first one bether than the slim version. Also if you bend his knees he would probably look cooler in terms of posing. Good job! 1 Quote - Check out my photostream at Flickr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybre Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 If you give him a katana, he'd be a little ninja man. 3 Quote mindeth the cobwebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonkersForBonkles Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Thanks TurteX! I took a couple more photos for you, taking advantage of the few hours of Canadian sunlight to snap some gooduns. Also included is the proto version, first idea that led to it. I posted it on another forum, and someone said "giant feet and swords/10" so the Assassin is my fix that came from not having small white feet.http://imgur.com/a/ieMau I'll give him a katana in a bit!

Munty Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I agree, the fat one looks better Can you not post all of your pics together? It's a little strange having so many links to different sets of pics!

BonkersForBonkles Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to add photos to an album on imgur. I know its a lot of clicking, but if you persevere, you'll find a katana ninja guy.http://imgur.com/a/1du2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vspinax Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Oh man, you really used the sunlight in a great way! good photos!taking advantage of the few hours of Canadian sunlight to snap some gooduns.there isn't much sun here in Norway either also the proto(?) guy looks really cool. It actually feels more or less like an actuall prototype set. Quote - Check out my photostream at Flickr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonkersForBonkles Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 This is the last photo I'll take of it, unless anyone has more ideas of what I can do with it. http://imgur.com/bgsL1Dh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybre Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 He looks really awesome with the katana. Having a dagger in one hand with the katana in the other was a nice touch too. Quote mindeth the cobwebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moku Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Simple, straight, to the point, and I like it! I do agree with using the shorter arms to maintain good proportions, even if they do restrict poseability. It does look like an accurate depiction of what a standard villager would be in Gen 2. Calling it a Protector, however, may be a bit inaccurate story-wise, but it's a minor quibble Besides, Gen 2 doesn't have much of a story yet. That, and the use of daggers justifies the term. Overall a great and simple MOC! Quote BZPRPG Profiles Nekka Banar Moku Savok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
