Kanohi Display, Anyone made one?? Options

[Bryan]

And that extra neck still has no use.

[T-Hybrid]

Just a quick question... what's with the Orange KauKau at the bottom?  It looks kind of out of place.

[T-Hybrid]

Could you imagine all the masks if the Toa had to get the Noble Masks too.

FRELL :bigeye:

Looks like a cool mask, but I hate to say that I don't think it is the real one....

I love it though, looks cooler than the real Gold one.  I like the metallic tones.. would look awesome on a gold Toa.

[Jaster Mereel]

I have the black Ruru hafu wears.  I don't have any other Noble masks in Toa colors.

[Bryan]

I was wondering if anyone has made a free standing display for the Kanohi masks.  I was just wondering what parts you used, I'm going to order some and make my own.  Thanks

Bryan

Well I plan to have a rotating (Kinda like a tie rack) Kanohi display that has the technic fiber optic emitter equipped so it looks like the mask you want pulses light thru the eyes. It should be controled by an RCX, have fwd and rev to speed up mask selection, and maybe an automatic mask popper-offer (like a vending machine that drops candy) so the Toa don't have reach really high to get thier the mask they want.

[Fi7e]

why dont you get a piece of wood, drill shallow little holes, and jam the black pegs in the hols w/ the heads.

that wouldnt take long at all to make and would be for the most park cheaper to make unless you already have all those LEGO's.

[hydrix]

I want one of those promo Miru!  But I'm nowhere near California!  I was born there and then moved to Massachusetts and then Virginia

[Taiyo]

Your thing rules!

[T-Hybrid]

US Release of what?  The Toa colored Ruru and Matoro?

[Devor]

I know...
I always thought that it was strange that there were no Toa colored noble masks (well, official ones).

[Bryan]

Cool Hau.

[Jaster Mereel]

I want to buy one of those things from lego.com that has extra peices to try and make that.

Postscript (P.S.) I know you spray painted that gold Hau I tried it once.

[T-Hybrid]

Unless you figure that their color would just be the color of their Turaga.  If anybody has seen the new movie on the Mata-Nui game, you know what I am talking about.

[Dimensioneer]

Bionicle Island has made a very cool stand...  And I'm still waiting on him to post some pictures on how he did it!  ;)

[Devor]

That RCX design sounds cool, if you make it, please post some pictures!

[Bryan]

Thanks, I think it get it :)  I think you have the first mask stand ever too.

[T-Hybrid]

Okay.... Sounds like a plan... I'll look on the back of the Kanohi mask and poster and see the pics.

[Bionicle Island]

its strange, click here as you may see you can only find the following

Transparent Red  - Tahu
Transparent Orange - Pohatu
Transparent Brown - Onua
Transparent Blue - Gali
Transparent Green - Lewa
Transparent Water - Kopaka
Transparent Fluorescent Blue - ?
Transparent Fluorescent Yellow - ?

Indeed Orange Kaukau belongs to Pohatu so its in the right place, But Onua is listed as brown but its Black :(

:)

[T-Hybrid]

Wow, LEGO can't get it's colors straight!

[Bionicle Island]

You will be very lucky to find a misprint in the UK, let alone the US... :) Anyway LEGO withdraw the misprints... But in DC COmic 2, centre page (Top right).. It states the  follow : The toa must collect the Nobel Masks of power in his or her own colours... When i have 12 of them (misprints as we first thought) so there could be another 24 new masks to come yet.

[Bionicle Island]

I also forgot to mention that i have added an Gold Hau to the collection :) Pictures on Saturday Night :)

Dude, Bionicle Island,  how did you get so many parts?![/quote]

Well i have nearly Technic Set ever made by Lego :) and i have bins full of parts from Second sellers... I have been selling these spares on brickbay for $$ and buying stuff that i need for the display by www.brickbay.com :)

I think it has cost me in the region of ์ to make this display !!

You can use the extra Axel that you get in those packs,,, instead of using a Technic Pole Reverser Handle you can use Technic Connector with Axlehole and stick the extra axels in those and stick the heads on the axel.

Oh, my design also uses these methods :) - see the mini pictures above to understand what i am on about.

So i could say that my design is the first unofficial Mask Stand that uses the usless axel found in the Kanohi Packs :)

If this sounds confussing i will do some pictures on a really close of on the 2 methods :)

Good Question... I don't knoew if its around in the US

But anyway. The Orange Kaukau is in the right place. It Gali Brown Mask.... I spoke to Lego about this and they said they can't produce a trans-broen, so they did a orange instead .

Hope that hopes..

[T-Hybrid]

Wild.  An orange instead of transparent brown.

I suppose on ebay you'll see

"RARE 1 OF A KIND!  SUPER HARD TO FIND ORANGE KANOHI KAUKAU!!!  SUPER RARE AND HARD TO GET!!!  NEW MASK FOR THE TOA MESHA!"
(and someone out there will fall for it)

[Devor]

Yeah, that's really strange....
maybe someone should email lego?

[Bryan]

That'll probably be part of next year's new stuff, hopefully more villagers too.

[Bionicle Island]

Nah, i decided to do it

There are here :) Stand 1 with Gold Hau

What do you think?

Dimensioneer - can you tell me how i can upload to the BZ server? Thanks

[hydrix]

Dude, Bionicle Island,  how did you get so many parts?!

Torhu, what does Frell mean?[/quote]

Oh boy... :rolleyes:

Read my report "FRELLING SLAG"

It is on the Off Topic Forum.  Look in the 2nd or 3rd page.  It shouldbe there.

[Bionicle Island]

Here we go

Right

I have done 3 pictures before my battry ran out of juice :)

1 of the front with all of the masks, 1 from the back and a a close up of the backsection
Please bear in mind these pictures are copyright to myself and so is the design :) - but it wouldn't harm me if you want to make one and do a few mods :) But the idea is mine nah :)

Right the pictures are as follows

Front:

Back:

Closeup:

You will need these elements to build the model

-  Technic Angle Connector #2 x 80
 - Technic Angle Connector #1 x 20
 - Technic Angle Connector #6 x 4 at present
- Technic Axle  2 x 250
- Technic Axle  5 x 100
- Technic Axle Joiner x 200?
 - Technic Axle Joiner Perpendicular 3 Long x 2
-  Technic Connector with Axlehole x 40
- Technic Pole Reverser Handle - x lots. number of current masks :)

If closes up are need let me know....

(Edited by Dimensioneer, to place the images inline for easier viewing.)

[Bryan]

Yeah, it's the same in the US.

[Bryan]

Well, at least Lego is admitting to the misprints being out there.  So that gives us some hope of a US release.

[hydrix]

Torhu, what does Frell mean?

[Rahi Master]

Me neither. :(
