.:Sugar:. Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I recently read the first Bionicle books and began thinking the final form of Tahu provided by Lego did not do him justice, so I made one that I thought did a better job, Golden armor and all. I also wanted to keep it in a way that would still be affordable and fit Lego's recent building system.Hero Factory recruited the Toa!C&C welcome :)I recently bought Raw Jaw, so I may be making another version soon Quote "A high-minded man must care more for the truth than for what people think"- Aristotle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumiki Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 A nice canister-sized redux of Tahu. It's easily imaginable as a set.I would like to address an issue of color. I'm not really digging the fact that he's got red on his lower half and gold on the upper. I'd try for a gold-on-red-on-black color layering. It'd be a lot more Tahu-like.I also feel like something is missing on the lower torso. Tahu shouldn't be wearing a corset - beef him up! (I like the part usage for the chest, however. That part's stocky-looking.) Quote avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybre Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Wow! That is some design! But there's too much black. Overall, that's impressive! Try making the other Toa Mata! Quote mindeth the cobwebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about the lower torso lacking something, and I'd appreciate any ideas on how to fix it! (I was stumped with the pieces I have)Wow! That is some design! But there's too much black. Overall, that's impressive! Try making the other Toa Mata!I need some colored limb pieces if it is to be less black, and I've yet to get any :/ Stores around here have the newest sets (Though the Lego store only had Furno left and tbh I abhor the set >_>. <3 Breez though!) so I may be changing that soon. I'd love to make a Lewa, but he'd be light green colored :/ Quote "A high-minded man must care more for the truth than for what people think"- Aristotle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I like it I have been wanting to make an HF Tahu for some time, but I judt don't know what to use for the head. I dont have any mastks that will work and I don't want to get of off of Bricklink... I'm worknig on a Bohatu and Kopaka, I just need some armor and heads.

BrickPharaoh Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) I agree completely with Sumiki, though I really like the custom hilt for the sword. And boy does Rocka's lionhead look good as a hand! Well done, if it weren't for the uneven color scheme.Oh and one more thing: you should probably try to improve your photography a bit, since sometimes even the best of MOCs looks horrible under unsuitable lighting and poor picture quality.

FrozenFlash Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 It looks great but there's a bit too much black on the chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsessionist Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Were Bionicle to return, I imagine it would be loosely in this form. Great idea, although I miss the orange, and the torso needs more armor. The sword is cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuna Toa of Sonics Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Seems like something Lego would release. But I don't think the colors do very well. There's red on his legs but not on the arms or chest.Pics could be a little better. Quote Does anyone want to play the Master Chief Collection with me? I'm trying to get a team going for ranked.

.:Sugar:. Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Thanks for the critique! I added more armor to the torso and some more red as per advised and I must say he looks pretty cool. I'll get some pics up when I can, as well as an update to the Biyera moc too.

Dralcax Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 The shape of the chestplate and the skinniness makes him look strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLhikan Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Not really complicated, but an excellent aesthetics build. I like the use of the gold armor.-TLhikan Quote "So I'm TL now?""Yeah, 'cuz if we said it the other way it'd have to be TLhiKHAAN!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhikanfire Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I think the lower torso is much to small. lengthen the torso out and i think it will look better Quote credit to 55555 for banner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eragon3443 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Having golden armor on the legsmight be a better idea, but otherwise, nice job! Quote Feel free to friend me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
