Icarax16 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) UPDATE: 09/2021 Hey again everyone! It's been a long time, but I wanted to share with you something I have been working on for over a year now and it is finally complete and all done and that is and was creating a Great Mask of Scavenging that not only looked better to me but also could make use in a story sense, as you are all aware Makuta can change at will their respective Kanohi as we have seen with Antroz and vamprah and others, so I did the design and 2D artwork and a great mask maker did the 3D modeling and created a shapeshifted Great Mask Of Scavenging/Vulture for Icarax! And i also updated my Icarax a little bit, that I will share with you all very soon and will post a "how to" for the updates and the parts you will need, the point of the update was actually to save on extremely expensive and rare parts for a more economical build in certain places in case you ever encounter a broken part down the road and due to the high cost of some of the parts I built Icarax with I thought it would be a good idea as well as some of the updates allow for better articulation particularly in the hands and head/neck region, so anyway I will share that all with you guys soon, until then I put up some photos in a cinematic lighting but will reveal the full thing and in detail very soon I promise, I just need to get a new light and background.To start, this is my version of Makuta Icarax, This character has been completely redesigned to encompass what I wanted to see in him, he has a shield,sword,claw and interchangeable wings, a collapsed pair and a full pair in both red and black, I have the collapsed pair on the red one right now, there is also an all-new black armored version in this showcase, based on the description in the book Bionicle Legends 9 on page 96 "Instead, the powerful, black-armored warrior was sitting on the ebony throne normally reserved for Teridax, Makuta of Metru Nui-and he was wearing Teridax's Mask of Shadows!" He is the exact height as the original and made up of 518 parts without weapons and 579 parts with them. He comes with joints that are unhindered and can achieve every pose allowed with ball joints, the original had a rotating blade, now his shield, it has a hinge and rotation. The claw which used to be his left hand and now an attachment is able to unfold, open and close and collapse back on itself and you can bring just one half of the claw down to use as a wrist blade. The wings have full range articulation. I wanted to keep him close to the original . Please let me know what you think! More photos in my gallery!

Pohaturon Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Good job mate, has a nice retro feel going on - aside from the 2 ccbs shells on the feet this may as well have been built in the year the Icarax set was released.

Icarax16 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Thank you! Truly, It was a very fun project for me because well, Icarax is my favorite character, so I really wanted this to turn out well!

Icarax16 Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Also the claw can act as wrist blades if you only turn and bring one tri blade claw down instead of both, as you can now see in the last photos I uploaded.There was also a built in attachment so the shield can stored on the back. None of this is "new" but I did fail to show it before. Edited March 22, 2019 by Icarax16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makuta_icarax Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 This... is.... BEAUTIFUL. Such an improvement on the official set. If you ever decide to release a piece list or some sort of instructions, I'd be over the moon. Fantastic work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get to work on instructions and parts list right away!I will need some time to get it done,However I will do it none the less as I want everyone to enjoy Icarax!

The Master of Energy Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I would also like to see the instructions. When will they be posted? 1 RPG Characters: Explota Akkitu MOCs: Toa Mata with 2015 Colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarax16 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Unfortunately it may take a little while, maybe a week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makuta_icarax Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Thank you so much! I'm sure it's going to be awhile until I get all the parts for it, but one day this WILL be on my desk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarax16 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Not a problem! I'm glad anyone likes this version enough to want one themselves.im still trying to figure the easiest way to do the instructions, photos,video,words or perhaps there would be a way to do it like the Lego instruction booklet format but in a file.

makuta_icarax Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Definitely no rush. I've never attempted something like that, but I can imagine that it would likely be just as, if not more, difficult than making the model the first time. Thanks for your work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarax16 Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Agreed, it will take longer than building him sadly, but I will try to get it done in a reasonable time frame. No thank you for liking my work! Also I uploaded every image of this Icarax into my gallery, images I did not upload here (for space concerns) so there are two files in my gallery anyone can view any time from here on out. Also you can check out my brickshelf gallery for extra photos http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=powers666 Edited April 10, 2019 by Icarax16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makuta chirox Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Hey man, wonderful work on this guy! I myself have just began revamping my old phantoka makuta. Also, do you have instruction for this guy? I dont care if i have to take some of my mocs apart, i need this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onvermel Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Love Icarax as and this just makes him so much more cool. This is how I imagined him in the books looking. Great job. "I believe in certainties. The strength of my limbs, the power of my mask, the sharp edges of my blades — that is what I build my plans around. Trickery, deception, complex strategies, they are for the weak! If you want power, and another has it, you get it not by outwitting him — you get it by stepping over his corpse."

I agree with you there haha, I also updated his body and added a personalized shapeshifted Great Mask Of Scavenging that I designed and did 2D artwork for and had a 3D modeler help with the rest to bring it to life. It took nearly a year to accomplish but it's finally done and worked out just like I hoped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
