The Power Lance And Other Ideas
Some fiddlings with pieces...
First, Takanuva's new Power Lance. I've never really liked the set version; the head seems awfully big, especially with how short and thin the handle is. Just doesn't come together into a single, solid design.
So I remedied that with Hewkii's shoulder spikes. Three of them together make a neat, solid shape, and are also the right size for a normal Toa to wield (or even the original Takanuva)... I know Lego wouldn't do this, because they technically don't fit together perfectly, but it makes for a nice MOC weapon.
Second, I've had Gali's leg design lying around for a while, and last weekend I also had a Matoro claw around. This was the result. I think it would make an interesting idea to use on an MOC, since it provides a nice slope to cover the ankles without impeding foot movement... and you can do it with most types of legs, too. (Note: it looks better in real life, since you can see how it flows properly. If you have the right pieces lying around, try it.)
Also, apparently Onua has silver Rahkshi legs. Who knew? I had assumed they were dark grey, given his body, which makes the silver yet another blow against an already suffering color scheme. Nice piece, though.
And a belated happy Canada Day to all! I had meant to wish people that earlier in the week (like maybe on July 1st itself), but I kept getting distracted...
