Ubbc 50 Progress - Episode 2

This entry will deal exclusively with the bohrok kaita, which is more or less no more than a thought right now.

 

The body will be largely black, with white armoring. I contemplated the blue and green of the true kaita, but I thought it would look messy, so I skipped that. Krika plays an important role on this beast, would be nice to have a second, but I think that a little bit of asymmetry could be a refreshing change. So then I'm left wondering what to do about the left arm. What to do with it, I know how the right arm will look, but I only have one Krika-head. Thoughts?

 

White bohrok head will be used to stay true to the lineage (of this matoran, not the story), right now I'm thinking of retaining the head-thrust component, it much the same way as on the regular bohrok, see the previous entry for pics. I'm debating as to a head pivot though, not sure what to do, I could toss in something geared pretty easily that would work for a standard pivot, but a ball joint would work for orbital pivoting, the challenge comes with retaining the thrust component and how bulky it'll be. I may start from the head down.

 

And a double-spine going down the back made with krika parts would be pretty cool right? I just gotta figure out how to do it, I got some rubber (++) parts a while ago that might work well...

 

Uh, the legs, definately not sure about those. I can't stick with the original kaita legs cuz they're really messy. So now I'm thinking about a triple jointed design... Thoughts?

 

 

 

Ah, hello there NS 068-069. Goodbye blog, hello Naruto.

Sounds like it's going to be pretty awesome. You've got some nice ideas going on there. :)

 

If you choose this idea above others, I'd be especially happy to see it. :)

left arm thoughts: either use the function that makes a bohrok head move forward on the head int he arm (so you don't actually have to keep it on the head of the katia), or a soft-nose blaster?

other thoughts: triple jointed legs sounds good!

A snap function on the arm, erm, that'd be tricky and would make a lot of bulk. As with the soft-capped blasters, I have one and I don't like how they look.

alright... how about integrating bohrok head-plates into the arm to make it a shield? or another bohrok head to assist in the "katia" look?
