Toa Lewa Mata/Redesigned
A MOC By LORDs_tekneon
When I MOC I usually try and MOC with a Purpose. I MOC to represent specific persons places or things. Quite Usually I MOC because of a certain feeling that is attached to the noun. This is certainly proved in this MOC.
The Original Toa Mata are amongst my favorite, Yet, with BIONICLE always evolving, the way they were built is somewhat Illogical now--somewhat out of place. However, Steps can be taken to restore the past with the present.
Hence this MOC: Toa Lewa Mata/Redesigned.
Stats:
Time Spent: 3-Some Hours
Parts Used: About 130

My Comments:
Lewa was great fun to build. I've wanted to do a Toa Mata for quite a while now and finally I did. Lewa came about as I was looking through my BIONICLE parts and I realized that I had plenty of green pieces--both lime and regular green. I stayed with the original colors (And didn't use the dark "Metru Green") because the bright colors needed to be there to keep the feel of it all.
I wanted to update Lewa so that his arms and legs could both bend, yet I made him rather simplistic. I didn't want too much detail. I kept some specific pieces on Lewa as well. I kept his Ax and Miru (Of course), I also kept his hand--and what I wanted most of all was to keep his gears on is back. I felt that the gears were a part of the whole look that was presented with the Toa Mata, and while they don't do anything, they certainly bring back a good reminder of the old days.
I am quite happy with Lewa.
Tell me what You think!
