Explosions in the Sky - "Greet death"

Shulk yeah!

 

TPBM shaves all and only men who do not shave themselves.

I am eavesdropping on you right now.

 

TPBM loves calculus.

All right then, I'm in!

Just to clarify: may I use modified (cut, not painted) parts?

I wonder how many Bionifigs, RusBionicle and Pockyland got. All together there could have been a couple thousand entries.

There's about 70 on Rusbionicle, and there is a bunch of worthy opponents, but the best of them are already on EB or BP, so you've probably seen them already.

My entry: Roodaka the Queen of Skullspiders.

 

I'd like to leave the story to our brave storyteam, but to mention that she is the queen of Skullspiders as a reference to the Visorak hordes.

I've decided to recreate one of the most charismatic female villains of the old Bionicle story. She bears her traditional staff / scepter that we've already seen in "Web of Shadows" but with more spidery look. Her hair is also remininiscent of the one seen in the movie, it is flexible and somewhat poseable.

As for the construction, I'd like to mention that I tried to combine the old Bionicle Pieces, Technic and CCBS, though the shades of silver have been changing from year to year and it was sometimes difficult to put the old and the new ones together due to their color differences.

I also used a lot of flexible parts to preserve the smooth outline of the model without the lack of poseability.

Although It's quite reckless of me to hope for the grand prize posting such a character, I'm looking forward to see more feminine characters in my favorite Lego series.

Tried to find some MOCs related to guitars made of technic, but found nothing decent. Then tried to make it myself.

 

 

Here is the picture for inspiration: Yamaha TRBX174

Made a special stand for the guitar.

The stand is pretty simple.

Technic flexible axles give it a smooth silhouette

Tremolo pedal on a bass... yeah, weird.

Hope you've enjoyed that.

Final

Wow, what a great first MOC to post on BZP! You may need to resize or link that picture, there are some rules you can read on that here. And this is Natalie, but you put Natasha as your topic title? Haha just curious...

Yeah, I resized the picture.

Well... Natasha Romanoff?

 

Onto the actual review. Good proportions, and the legs are stunning. They are original and look flawless from the front. The torso isn't bad, but you should have kept everything a black and green color scheme - the patches of white do no good here. That brings us to the arms; compared to the legs, they are boring and don't really fit. Be as novel with the arms as you were with the legs, and they will go with the rest much better. But most importantly, they would look vastly better if armored with green instead of white and black. But perhaps you ran out? I always have to buy pieces for my MOCs, but it is worth it. 

 

The back does not have the appeal as the front, nor does the side. Her thighs and lower back should follow the human-like proportions of the legs and upper torso as well as the complexity - large pieces like the pakari might be best replaced by several smaller parts. Essentially, her butt is flat and too simple

 

Overall, beautiful work. Hopefully you'll be posting more of your creations in the future

Thanks! I tried to recreate the breakout color scheme. Nevertheless I've bought another Breez from Breakout recently. So, i'll build an upgrade soon.

I don't know what to do with her back, but I'll get throug it somehow.

 

hmm, everything seems... upscaled. compared to the head. (but i maaaay just be used to huge-headed bonkles haha.)

 

and Wazdakka is right, the thighs are kinda big, but i feel that may just be because the waist above them doesn't slope in properly. (if the intentions of the model were as thigh-centric as i am assuming?)

 

but, idk. props for creativity? i haven't seen several of those pieces used quite like that before.

Just tried to follow female proportions.

Also, it's a pity that 2.0 helmets don't have axle holes.

Hey, guys, I've got a theory about the new Bionicle storyline.

I was listening to TTV episode 112 recently and they quoted from Reign of Shadows:

"His mask was the most ornate anyone had ever seen – more than just a Kanohi, it was a true work of art. The metallic protodermis from which it was forged was arranged in intricate patterns and designs, each reflecting one of the many cultures that flourished in the universe. The eye slits were angular and pointed, giving him an air of both wisdom and a vague sense of menace."

So, let's suppose the recently leaked picture shows the mask of creation. If all the storyline turns around this mask, then it seems so similar to the battle between Artakha and Karzahni for this mask.

And we know that Toa Mata were created by Artakha (or at least on his island). So, what if the skullspiders are Karzahni's minions/allies?

And now I think that the 2015 story is the prequel to 2001-2010.

Did a little sketch recently.

Hello there! I suppose it's time to post my first MOC on BZP. I love the only hero of the Alpha Team, so I decided to give her more feminine look. Also, I always wanted to do an experiment of CCBS and oldschool parts.

I'm not great in english, so no more words.

 

 

Front

It took me about a week to build her, and the idea of her was in the air for about a year along with WIPs

Another shot

Here i pulled her arms up so you can see the construction.

Back

Yes, that's Pakari on her butt.

So, that's all, hope you enjoyed my Natalie.

If you're looking to really have your work cut out for you, you could try adding all of these to your chart.

Well, that'll be quite an intricate table then. But that's a very cool idea, thank you, we'll try.

 

 

I particularly like the edition with colours. I'm supposing those to be the actual kraata colours...?

EDIT: In the colour edition - should maybe the places of Electricity and Chain Lightning be switched? That way, the chain lightning one can be next to weather control, which seems a bit more of a fit to me.

No, they're not kraata colors, unfortunately. But I'll try to put the actual ones at some point.

Pretty. Now we need to fill in the gaps with new powers that don't make any sense!!

 

Seriously though, this is pretty interesting. It must have taken a lot of work to figure out all those relationships.

We're thinking about including classic elemental powers in this table.

 

Also, it'd be nice to hear a piece of advice from anybody there. For example, it's difficult to find any neighbor for gravity except magnetism (because of the conception of magnetic and gravity fields).

 

Any suggestions?

There's a lot of work to do though.

 

Note: here be my update post.

Hello there! I've just asked Greg some random questions about Toa Nuva and EP, and he mentioned that Toa Nuva have already fulfilled their destiny. Maybe I'm taking these things too serious, but I think that it's another proof that we should wait for reboot of the series, not the continuation.

 

Or... maybe TLG will use the mask of decanonisation...

I agree with Taipu1, building an exo-suit for Matoran/Toa being is so complicated you need to sacrifice playability. So voted for #2 there.
