I am playing with Ben 10 pieces. Nothing serious. I just wanted to see if the torso armour could be used on the Inika build, and look okay. It can.

 

This isn't a serious MOC, and it's not anything special. I don't have but a handful of odds and ends here in Tulsa, as my collection is at school. Apparently in that handful of parts was an almost-intact Lewa Nuva T9. Now he's been re-adapted for fiery environments. Crazy.

So... you got the brown one? Or is that red? The picture makes me hesitant to pick one. :P

 

I can't wait to use the new Ben10 torso in MOCing. (not the armor)

You know, at first I had my doubts about those Ben 10 pieces, but now they actually appear pretty spiffy and quite useful. In particular, that torso piece is far better than the 2006 torsos we've been seeing for the past 3 years.

 

Plus red is so his color. :P

What are those pieces on his shins and where did you get them? :o

I think they might be from the RC cars? I'm not sure, I bought them on-line. :shrugs:

 

Hee hee hee hah hah hah! That looks fun. :D

 

What's the piece on his back? Looks like it might be useful.

It's this piece.

Red. Metru red has a tendency to be picked up by cameras as a shade of reddish brown instead of as a dark red. There's not a lot I can do to fix that.

What the heeeeeck... have you done to poor Lewa. :(

~EW~

Made him better. B)


So you're saying you think the color scheme is better now as well? Cause I'm seeing no less than seven different colors on this MOC, aranged without any real sense or order. And, as the person who criticized Tarix for the exact same thing nearly a year ago, I'd think you'd be less inclined to like this guy's new colro arangement. :P

I'm not bothered by this colour scheme, no. It's not amount of colours, but how they're used that matter. Tarix' colours were just thrown into a hodgepodge of terrible. Plus, the set design sucked.

 

But this is dark red armour over the rest of the body, which is grey over lime. The visor in the mask doesn't really count, and this is also about as many pieces as I have here at home.

Eh, I think it's the brown staff and the silver feet that bother me the most, although admittedly the latter was also present on the original set. And really, I don't know how the visor doesn't count, as it's evident and distinct enough to hurt the color scheme somewhat IMO. I realize that you didn't have very many pieces to work with, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it better than the original set - though, that's just me. :P

Also, I've never thought of Tarix's colors as hodgepodgy - the actual shades had a lot of potential. The problem was that the Mata blue was only used on the feet and hands, making it seem really out of place. That's why, as soon as I bought him, I added a lot more Mata blue on his torso and arms, which not only balanced out the colors but also bulked up the lacking body design. :)

~~EHD~~

I don't consider weaponry as being a part of a MOC's colour scheme. He wields a blade on a wooden staff. Wood is generally brown. Neither red nor lime would make sense. And I don't think the visor is distinct enough to ruin the colour scheme, and I don't think a small visor needs to necessarily match the colour scheme wholesale. When the colour scheme is poorly organized, the number of colours is an impediment. This is extremely organized.

 

The silver feet look enough like grey that they don't bother me a whole lot, and again, he was just laying around so I put stuff over top of him. This wasn't like me actually putting effort into a MOC. Just goofing off and playing with Ben 10 parts.
