The Golden Samurai

Using most of the golden pieces I have. When I played around with Rocka's 3.0 helmet I found out it had some Samurai-ish feel to it. So I made a body than arms and so to the legs. Made in the BZP downtime (I'm not gonna post all of the MOC's I made in the downtime but only those I find are worth it).

I had a signature once


it's gone now

It looks fantastic, you went gold-crazy and it pays off.I do however think the legs need an increase in length - that might just be the angle of your photo but they look a little short.Also those chest spikes are uneeded

I think that it is mostly the angle, but yeah the legs are rather short.Other than that it's awesome. Great job Sparky!

I love the color scheme and layering, and generally the whole feel of the thing. However, I can't help but think that the gold should be spread out a little more. There's more black than gold showing the farther down you go - unless this is supposed to indicate less armor there?

Great creation, the design is really unique. I don't recall ever seeing forearms like that, and I am at a lose to understand the torso. The one think I am worried about here is the use of hero chest plates as shoulder armor, it looks like it might limit movement.

Wow. Great MOC. Good design, it's sleek and it flows well. Original as well, I like the use of Hero Factory peices. Gold is a gerat colour, and so much of it looks great. The black works well as a secondary colour too. The only thing I don't like it is the legs. They seem a bit...off to me for some reason. Maybe if they were bulked up more or something.

It is the angle, the picture links to the gallery. I thought the angle would make him look more awesome :P however the legs look shorter but whatever

Those were all the gold pieces I had so..

OH YESI was watching your brickshelf account over the downtime ( since april X) ) and when I saw this I was AMAZED.How do you get the Inika shoulder to fit around the ball socket. I tried it myself, and whatever I tried, it wouldn't fit.

I saw you could fit a inika shoulder plate over a ball socket. You just have to push a little hard to get in the opening. It doesn't damage the piece so it won't hurt if you tried

Superb! Everything looks great except for the legs, which become too thin at the shins. Add some more bulk there (perhaps just by raising the gold already there with some black parts). Otherwise, absolutely ingenious! a_peace.png

The legs are the most dissapointing part about this MOC. I wish I had more gold pieces to cover them

The whole MOC is very limited in movement. But I learned that if you focus on movement some shapes just can't be built. In this case the arms are limited so are the legs but the MOC is more for display purposes than playability

Again, this is fantastic and the head is brilliant. The lower legs and feet could be better armored, but that's about it. I love all of the spikes on the Hero chests in odd places. Wonderful!

I believed you commented on this somewhere else? If so still thanks ;-).

I find that gold is hard to work with. I understand that you don't like the legs, again I had no other pieces and I didn't wanted it be be bulky there. Also Thanks to all the rest who commented

I'm aware of that, I was just suggesting that maybe they could have been spread out a little more ... ?

I agree with PooZy, but i find the chest spikes fit with those on the shoulders. I also reccomend a samurai like blade, such as the wings from that one Mistika Makuta... forget his name.

Did you hear?? FORUMS ARE BACK! :D
