Mocing
So I have just finished another MOC and I got to thinking, how do you make MOCs? Do you plan it all out ahed of time? Do you just build and let inspiration strike? What do you do?
I, myself, find it very difficult to plan out ahed of time how I want the MOC to be. The only thing I sorta plan out is the color scheme of the MOC. So what I do is I break a couple of sets apart, from which the color I want is on, spred them out on the floor and let inspiration strike.
Normally I'll start off with a simple design of a leg (I like starting off with the legs) and build upon that design. Maybe, if I feel really creative, I'll make a custom lower leg, but normally I won't. If I want the MOC to be tall I'll use either a Rahkshi, Piraka, or Inika lower leg, then I'll connect a hand-piece to the top of the lower leg, and two +0+ and connect another hand-piece to that. After that I'll add on to the upper leg, maybe making a few changes here and there, and then I'll duplicate it to be used as the other leg (I do the feet later).
The same process that happened with the legs happens with the arms. And then, somehow, I really don't know how, I'm able to make a torso. Torsos are, by far, the hardest part of making a MOC, don't you agree? As I said before, I am really unaware of how I make torsos. I guess I start off with a simple design and work my way up, like with the arms and legs, but other times I just know what and how I want to build the torso and I build it.
Then I normally make simple feet and slap a mask on the MOC. And the weapons are just beefed up normal weapons, like, for exapmle, Lewa's swords or the Chronicler's staff (spear?).
So there you have it, that's how I make my MOCs, I know, I probably forgot something, but it's, at least, a little bit of an insiders view.
Please share how you make your MOCs too, I know you want to.
