I'm back once again with my 2001 Rahi Revamps! You can check out my Nui-Rama here! But in a surprising turn of events, next up we have the Tarakava, rather than the Nui-Jaga. The reason for this is actually quite simple. Because I chose to switch to purple instead of blue for my Nui-Jaga, I am currently waiting for my yellow barraki eyes to arrive with my next bricklink order. But, I didn't want to make all you folks wait, so I decided to post my Tarakava MOC whilst you were all waiting. My Tarakava MOC is easily the one that differs most from it's original model. As I was working on it, I decided to take a different route, and rather than just throwing on some boring back legs, I thought to myself, "The original model was amphibious, so how can I make it look more aquatic in appearance?" Hence the tail. The tail actually uses a very unique articulation design, with a hose braced against the middle to keep it from tipping, but still giving it enough movement to bend in nearly any direction. Another unique feature is that it has a locking mechanism on it's back (directly below that black tail), that, when moved, can allow the entire torso to twist around backwards, transforming the model into it's aquatic mode. Photos link to larger ones on brickshelf. Thoughts would be appreciated! Please upvote and comment! Front Back Aquatic New and Old Comparison Tarakava vs. Gali! The Battle Continues! Tarakava vs. The Master of Water! You'll be seeing the Nui-Jaga sometime next week, followed by the Kane-Ra and Manas Revamps. Stay tuned, and please upvote and comment!

Well, if you're in this subforum you've probably seen another recent MOC of the same character, and an amazing one at that. I wish I could say it inspired me to make this, but the truth is I started working on this before the other was uploaded! My goal was to make it as close as possible to the original illustration using 100% official elements. Features: Details from original illustration including skull design in abdomen armor, mismatched horns and Kanohi Olisi stand-in. Piraka light-up eyes in custom head that snugly fits the unconventional mask (I have a photo of this if you want to see it) Complex custom torso design Does not feature: Neck articulation (but is still capable of some expressive poses) My apologies for the fuzzy photo; I had a bad camera at the time. EDIT: Head construction: http://i.imgur.com/pUICLgW.jpg?1 The 1x2x2 piece with 2 pinholes and 1 axlehole on the chin connects to a 1*2*3 piece with 4 pins and 1 axlehole.

(Images link to Flickr) I was lucky enough to get some of the new BIONICLE sets from The LEGO Group to review for New Elementary. I've mostly finished writing the reviews for the three Toa sets I received, and they will be posted to the site in the weeks to come. In the meantime, I thought I'd share something I created from their parts a couple days ago. A few weeks ago my brother Lyichir and I created this concept. I loved the way it looked on LEGO Digital Designer, but when I went to build it in real life I was less than successful. The shoulder joints did not have enough friction to support the weapons I designed for it, which caused them to dangle and collide with the gears of the feet. The neck also turned out to be too long, given that the new Mask of Jungle has a smaller chin than I had anticipated. My brother and I spent some time trying to polish that model up, but in the end we ended up starting over from scratch. That allowed us to not only use a greater percentage of the parts at our disposal, but also create a model that is much better at supporting its own weight and the weight of its weapons. This model stands 35 modules tall (about the same height as the original Toa Kaita), uses 190 pieces, and includes gear functions for its arms and legs. The weapons are inspired by those of the original Toa Kaita Wairuha from 2001. This model is an entry in the November 2014 BZPower Flickr Contest! Voting begins on Thursday, November 20, so if you like this model, please show your support!

"The final battle is here! The gallant knight Mata Nui gears up andsets off to slay the evil beast, Makuta!" I started out to make a revamp of the (titan) Toa Mata Nui, but I got to liking the idea of a revamped Toa-sized Mata Nui to go along with my work-in-progress Makuta. I was aiming for the look of a knight (Mata Nui) going to slay the pesky dragon (Makuta) and ultimately incorporate more gold pieces than Toa Mata Nui did (Though that doesn't take much ).

I was digging through my parts today and found both of my Kalmahs in quite bad shape. I looked up at my Kalmah poster, bravely shooting his "squid" at the viewer, and I knew what I was going to make today. My MOCing skills are pretty good, my photography... not so much. Anyways, here he is! Kalmah the Barraki warlord and weaponizer of squid! Kalmah was a fairly cool set because he was bulky and agile at the same time. I tried to keep this feel when building the MOC- giving him an armored, bulky look and still retaining the agile and lithe feel of a squid. Yeah, I gave him extra arms. A lot of the pictures on the Brickshelf folder don't have the arms since they get in the way a lot, and aren't that complex.

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. Close up Legs Back Yes, that's Pakari on her butt. Back Random pose So, that's all, hope you enjoyed my Natalie. Tremah

"This one -- this one has many layers. He is cold. But I sense his frosty exterior may hide a blazing fire deep within..." Flickr Gallery Kopaka Mata was my earliest set (discounting the McToran), and as such, I thought it would be fitting to recreate him in all his icy glory. I really need to get a good light tent.

|+| Flickr |+| MOCPages |+| This version of my self MOC is probably my favorite so far; he was really fun to build, but at times, he was a pain in the butt to build. I really struggled on the torso, aiming to stray from the Piraka torso that the previous iterations used. I also used the leg design from V3, which I think looks pretty nice. -Previous Incarnations- Version 1 Version 2 Version 3

So, this guy was uploaded towards the end of August/beginning of September. Got erased due to the downtime. I've been wanting to re-upload the MOC because I feel it's one of my few tangible accomplishments when it comes to MOCing. He's also my Self-MOC. Moving on.... Remember him? MOCpages Brief backstory: "All Lumi must die. When a Lumi has fulfilled his purpose in this Universe, his Vessel form is taken to the birthplace of his Ancestors, where he is given enough energy and time to carve out his own burial chamber. No-one else is there to grieve his death, and he passes on, unlamented. Our tragic hero, after being "killed" in Phantom Terror's The Adventures of Sandstorm, is taken to his Home Planet, where he witnesses the deserted ruins of his Predecessors, marvelling at the sights of the enormous structures they had constructed in the peak of their civilization. He journeys on to his House's burial grounds. He sees his Wall, the wall he must tear down to bring his weakened body to eternal rest. He picks up the Hammer, the sacred artifact that the Lumi use to destroy the wall, which is rebuilt as soon as the Lumi is in his chamber, and has closed his eyes one last time. However, the Hammer disappears in a blinding flash of light. A light that even a Being of the Light cannot bear to witness. He is transported to a massive, dark, dome-shaped chamber, with only a pillar of light in its center, shining at a statue that bears significant resemblance to our hero. Much larger in size, and with mysterious-looking armor of crimson and gold. A thunderous voice breaks the deafening silence. "You have not yet fulfilled your purpose, Sevla. Now, don the Paladin's Armor, and rise to your Destiny." Baffled, Sevla looks around frantically to try and locate the source of this sound. Another flash of blinding light takes him by surprise. Suddenly, Sevla is Reanimated. In his hand, a glorious Claymore is held. It has the word Belligerence engraved upon its blade. Sevla now knows what he must do to finally fulfill his purpose, and save the remaining Lumi from the fate that awaits them." This is a little different from the previous back story, but I feel that this one is written in a slightly more mature style. Now, onto the MOC. I really love what I've done with it. There are many techniques I've used here unlike anything else I've ever done. This is thanks to a Bricklink order that I've made at the start of last summer. I now have plenty of pearl gold, as opposed to none at all previously The proportions kind of remind me of Optimus Prime for some reason. Don't ask me why I said that. Just in case someone says something about the freakishly long legs (Which I actually happen to like on this guy.) I was very pleased with how he ended up looking, but I still think there's room for improvement. Perhaps stronger joints and a bit more streamlining will do him great. I'm eager to know what you guys think, so C&C as always! Stay tuned for more MOC's till the end of January, including a PBZP and an apology MOC (Chro will know what I'm talking about)

Hey guys. How many of you remember This Guy? Well I've gone and revamped him. I posted the original around March, and I've waited almost a whole year to revamp him. I'd say I've done a good job! >LINK TO PHOTO SET<

Hey, BZPeople. I used up my 1000th post to give you my latest comic (link to the topic in my sig), so I guess I'm giving you all a 1001th post special. That's a milestone, right? Anyway, here we go. You may remember my revamp of Toa Kaita Akamai a while back. Well, today I bring you his brother, Wairuha. First, we take these three... And build this. Then, we sprinkle some MAGIC REVAMP DUST on it, switch out a few parts here, add a thingamabob here, and... PRESTO! Looks much better! A better look at the chest. His back. His new weapons. A warm welcome from Akamai. Brothers forever. They've got some unfinished business to attend to. Wairuha thanks you for coming! And so do I! As with Akamai, I tried my best to only use parts available in sets prior to 2003, but in some places, there was little else I could do. Oh, and the reason I made Wairuha taller is because Akamai is formed from Pohatu and Onua, as well as Tahu, keeping in mind that both Pohatu and Onua were shorter than the other Toa Mata. Anyway, I hope you like him, and I'll see you around! Comment away!

My entry in the Titans and Monsters contest. Always loved doing revamps, and the Shadowed One was on the top of my list. All my old boxes had been stacked away since '11, but when I noticed this contest, I simply couldn't miss the oppurtunity of a last hurrah. I haven't been on the new forums all that much, so I'm kinda lost on the coding system, I'm just gonna do this the easy way: Full MOC [http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Vohon/TSO/downloads.psd.jpg] Head Detail [http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5918988] Legs and Tail Detail [http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5918990] Feedback and criticism are most welcome !

^ CLICK THE PHOTO ABOVE TO VIEW THE GALLERY ON MOCPAGES. ^I personally think that Kalmah is better, but I think Ehlek is alright too. After building Kalmah I wanted another, and Ehlek is my favorite Barraki, so I just had to build him. I'm considering revamping the other four (and Nocturn) later, but for now it's just the Squid and the Eel.Feedback is appreciated.

Hi guys, I've decided to revamp this guy for the MoCpages Bio-Revamp Cup 2013 Round 1. The legs were probably the easiest part to build, with the arms running a close second.
