Kanohi Suva 2015

I wanted something to hold my extra Toa masks when they were wearing either there standard or golden one. So I made a Suva Design in LDD

I need to make some Bricklink orders for the real life version. Until then feel free to use this design for your masks as well.

Right off the bat I can say if you're determined to have those medium stone grey size 5 shells you're gonna have a rough time because not only do they not make those shells in particular in medium stone grey, they don't make any shells in medium stone grey.

 

If you don't mind the shells not quite matching, though, you can make it work with silver shells.

 

Anyway, this is really nice! I can't wait to see what it's like in physical pieces. I'm kinda thinking of using a design like this to hold my masks. I am a little worried about the masks being too wobbly, though; gonna want to do a test run on mask wobbliness before making any commitments.

Thanks. And those 5 shells are in Silver. The picture just makes them look grey.

I know it is what they call a day late and so many dollars short but this would have been a cool addition to the BBC 69 Contest. Even though it is in the LDD if you were able to make this in time for the Contest it would likely be the most unique creation in there. I have seen Toa after Toa, a few Makuta, a Matoran here and there, some assorted good & bad guys. This however is very much the only one of its kind I have seen. Can't wait to see it in real life. You are going to post pics of it once it is built right?

I will I'm just short on bohrok eyes colors. Dark Blue, Dark Green and Purple. So I have to make some Bricklink orders first so I can show it.

 

Also I already had entered the contest so even If I wanted to I couldn't enter this.

The large paw pieces (used for Kopaka's shoulderpads) come in grey.

Awww, why have I never thought of this? It's so cool! Well done.

 

Seriously, it's so unique and innovatie. Pity there are no grey shells available for use with this creation, as said before.

They're actually supposed to be silver, according to the creator.  LDD just has a funny way of rendering it, making it look silver.  Silver size 5 shells do exist, so building it in real life is not hard.

Oh, right. I didn't see that.

 

I find grey to be more suitable for a Suva, but silver works as well. To me, grey seems a natural choice for a Generation 1 Suva, but I guess silver would be more appropriate for the reboot considering how shiny the official sets look.

I went with Grey as opposed to Black so Onua's standard mask would stand out when placed on it.

Dark grey. I was talking specifically about the lighter grey. There's a difference.
