Nothing will stand in our way. I shall finish what you started. Entry Pic Closeup Action pose With Vader's helmet Lightsaber (Well, Chi-saber)duel! Kylo Ren's true Identity!(Kind of...) Figured I'd make Kylo Ren seeing as 1: I only have The Darth Vader constraction set, and thus only a Red Lightsaber blade, and 2: I thought the Noble Huna looked a bit like Kylo Ren's mask. The Cape and hood are made of both Vader's cape for the main cape and Sir Fangar's Cape for the hood. Also, if Kylo Ren (AKA Miras) Is reading this, I hope I captured your likeness well. As for everyone else, I hope you enjoy my rendition of the Main Bad guy for the Force awakens. Comments and Criticism are welcome, as usual. Edit: Image thumbnailed and linked to the full-sized one. Please keep posted images in BBC to 100 kB. -Wind-

Skull Scorpio is an underrated set in my opinion. Sure it has its flaws but I really liked it. So I've come up with a few alternate designs that you can use to improve your Skull Scorpio set. Gallery when public: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=560545 Here is an Lxf file of all the different builds. I will update with 2015 bionicle parts if/when LDD Updates. For now I just use replacements in the LDD version. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_mod.lxf First are two different leg designs. One is more like the original and one is similar to LOSS. Both sets of legs have posability. These pictures also show off the new torso I made for Skull Scorpio. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_4.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_5.jpg. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_6.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_7.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_8.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_9.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_10.jpg Next are 3 different claw designs. One of them being the original just without the transparent orange. The third one was slightly inspired by TheDesuComplex http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_claws_1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_claws_2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_claws_3.jpg Next is two different shoulder designs. One with the arms out and one that brings the arms in close like the original set http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_arms_1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_arms_2.jpg Last up is the tail. I had a few alternate designs in mind until I came up with these four. The first one is the original just modified to be a bit smaller. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_tail_1.jpg The second one was inspired by LoganMcOwen's one http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_tail_2.jpg The third one is just a standard scorpion tail using the skull villain sword http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_tail_3.jpg The last one is my favorite. Its a slightly modified version of the one TheScorpionStrike did. Here is his video of how the tail function works And the picture of my version http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_tail_4.jpg The final pic is how I have my Skull Scorpion displayed just without Pohutu's drained mask . I added that in for effect http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_mod.jpg

Well, after BBC#71, which was a bit disappointing for me at least, turns out I'm back with another MOC, but it's not of any old imaginary creature of the night, nor an alien race of chess pieces. It is, as the title suggests, none other than my favourite video game character ever. Spyro the Dragon! This in particular is based on his original Nineties game appearances (not Skylanders) which holds quite some nostalgia for me. I always wanted to build this little guy with Technic and CCBS bits, but sadly, not enough pieces exist in the right colours so, rather than my original intention to build this in real life, I had to resort to LDD. And here it is: Here's the stuff I wrote for the Flickr description: Having recently rediscovered all the old things I used to love as a child (from the Nineties), I recently had an overwhelming urge to build one of my favourite video game characters ever. Spyro the Dragon. This MOC is based on the appearance of classic Nineties Playstation 1 Spyro (not Skylanders Spyro, I wish classic Spyro would come back! Then I'd have a reason to buy a Playstation 4 ). Built in LDD (was going to be a real-life model until I realised the lack of purple Technic and CCBS meant the end result would look nothing like Spyro) and rendered using Bluerender. The model took about 8 hours to build. And as a little extra, I've also built his faithful companion Sparx the Dragonfly, in his full health colours. And, as with the Chess pieces which some of you may remember, I've also made a GIF spinnie. Click here to view it Anyway... positive comments, constructive criticism, upvotes and butterflies for Spyro's companion Sparx all appreciated

I'll only post the LXF files if you really want them. Comments and criticism appreciated

What would everyone think if Lego was to make a more dynamic hybrid between the two building systems of CCBS and Technic. Now I know they do kinda do this with some things having the pins and axles involved in the construction of say the gear box but I`m talking more along the lines of say the CCBS system with more pin and axle holes in the joints that way armor and parts from G1 Bionicle can work more fluidly with the new system. To me Lord of skull spiders waas a ste in this direction. Both systems have their up sides and down sides. The Technic way had some issues with certain joints breaking but to me they had more creative armor and piece molds, CCBS on the other hand has a strong way of building the skeleton and joints of the model nd has stronger joints but the armor plates and all are a lot less creative and just rather repetitive with some of them . But any way what are your thoughts ?

Finally! After a long hiatus of not building anything (that collab project I did really did drain my creativity for a while afterwards ), I'm back with a new MOC. Though I may well have made it just to show off my latest rare acquisition... Kulta's mask in Pearl Gold! Surprise, surprise - it's another original creation Skull Villain from me. Skull Smasher, a hugely successful wrestler in his previous life during the age of Steampunk and given new life by "mysterious forces", is an eloquent brute who towers above even Kulta, and could "accidentally" squash a Protector underneath his feet and throw Toa around like they were a dog's chew toy. Even Kulta himself dares not underestimate Smasher's sheer power, as Smasher could crush Kulta in an instant in one of his huge hands. But don't think Smasher is all brawn and no brains or class. Smasher is incredibly vain as far as Skull Villains go. He never goes out without wearing his feather and velvet robes, held together with his lucky golden bone. Show him a mirror or give him a camera (he'll stop mid-fight and take a selfie of him crushing his victims) and you'll probably distract the titan enough to get past him... or land the killing blow on him. Selfies are dangerous things! Anyway, onto some full pictures then! An interesting side note: He got named "Smasher" not because of his giant hands, but due to the fact that I was listening to a lot of the rock band The Offspring while building him, and they have an album named "Smash". So there you go This is actually the first time I've ever tried to do something even vaguely Steampunk themed (though my second creation done in this sort of colour scheme, the first being my dragon, Golden Furious), so it's probably not perfect. Comments, upvotes and obscure references all appreciated I might enter this in BBC#71, but it's not really Halloween-y, plus I have an idea for a horror hound for that contest anyway

These new SW CCBS sets are HUGE. Well, Darth Vader is, anyway. On the plus side, we finally see the longest CCBS bone make a reappearance, the first since Black Phantom, I think. Also surprised to learn that the lower leg 'add-on' is a shell, not an add-on. I guess it works for the longer bones better than the usual shells, though. Not sure what's up with the gunmetal when some of the pieces are already in the set in black. Armour pieces on the sides are a bit of an illegal connection since they hit the bohrok teeth and force them to move ever so slightly. Lightsaber's nice if a bit long. Also, obvious, the cape isn't attached that well but, eh, it's not too bad. LEGO's done worse with capes. (Furno XL I'm thinking of you.) Also, those square Breakout additions seem to work great for making a shell seem longer than it is. They don't poke out as much as the other shell add-ons so they seem more like a natural extension. And to think I originally went out to get Skull Scorpio... Skull Scorpio sucks anyway.

I really liked new combo model of Ekimu vs. Grinder and Scorpio, but I don't wanted use Ekimu pieces and MoC, and wanted him to looks more like much better Grinder. UPDATE: -longer arms; - a little shorter legs; - lowered wings and rebuild their attachment (now they can move). Gallery: http://imgur.com/a/ZvlCa -
Wow. It's really popular. Three out of six sets are already sold out according to LEGO, and it's only been two weeks. Grievous is one of them, and that's the most expensive set of the wave. That didn't happen to BIONICLE G2. I do have to wonder, though - in the past year we've gained three new shell attachments, which, as far as I am aware, is more than 2013+2014 combined. The piston add-on, the skull add-on, and that 'shoulderpad' add-on the SW sets use. That's three. Let's add the common HF ones, the round one and the square one. That's five attachments. The SW add-on has no detail to it, so it wouldn't work well with BIONICLE - it would work with HF though. But HF isn't around any more, rip. Though it does seem to 'blend' to the shell it's connected to better than any other attachment piece does. Also, a question. Do you prefer printed pieces or stickers?

MOD: Game-style Ekimu Those who have played BIONICLE: Mask of Creation will know that there has been an update to the game recently, which not only introduces Skull Warriors to the battlefield, but also Skull Slicer, Skull Scorpio, Skull Basher and Skull Grinder as four additional boss levels. Also, once you've fought and defeated all the bosses with their Toa of choice, you can also play as Ekimu, the Mask Maker! Now, those of you who are quite observant may have noticed something a bit off about Ekimu's in-game model. For those who haven't, take a look at his shoulders and arms. Ekimu has the same build as Narmoto, the Protector of Fire! The model uses 5M hinge bones and a 5M shell in trans light blue, which are versions of those parts which we do not have IRL. But, we can still build a close approximation - which I have done! What do you think of this version of Ekimu? Is he now more in line with the other figures of his size, or do you feel that he lacks a certain je ne sais quoi without a gearbox?

Wow, those Star Wars figures are tall. And the larger ones are really well designed. Skull Scorpio's designer, how do you defend yourself? Maybe it's just me but after seeing some of the better SW figures (pretty much every set that isn't Luke), I'm thinking that the BIONICLE set designers need to step up their game. Tahu looks gappy and awkward by comparison and IMO Tahu was one of the better bonkle sets of the first wave.

Hey everyone, it's me again with another custom thing. This time it's a Gen2 adapted Mata torso, go check it out here: http://shpws.me/JywU On a side note, I don't suppose anyone here knows what's causing the error with the Shapeways render where it fills up the pin holes? EDIT: The pin hole error has been fixed, the print should be error-free now.

This could definitely be considered a general LEGO discussion, but I'm talking specifically in terms of Bionicle. Which system do you like better? I like the pistons-and-gears look of the old pieces, but CCBS is really great and provides a more universal building choice. Sometimes I like to use 'old school' pieces on my MOCs, but generally I prefer CCBS. Have fun and take the nostalgia goggles off if you can.

Revenge, the MOC Revenge is a character in Corpus Rahkshi. He was my first RPG character and I finally got around to making him a MOC. I had to make something up because I don't have a Rahkshi head in black which ended up being a good thin that way I could put his eyepiece in (yes that is supposed to be there). His weapon launches exploding Zamor sphere launcher with a small dagger-like attachment. Overall I am glad about how the MOC turned out. More Poses Fighting Stance No weapon Crossed Arms Flight Mode Action Pose Action Pose 2 A quick thanks for everyone at Corpus Rahkshi for all the fun I have had over there!

While Hero Factory was short lived and didn't always have the most... infallible design standards, there were quite a few sets that stood out in the roster as being exceptionally appealing. Sets like Witch Doctor and Evo XL receive universal praise, but there are other sets which still look the business. So, to you, which set/s is/are underrated, and deserve/s more love? EDIT: Never thought that word would be censored. Huh. -

Titan Onua and Korgot Onua being one of the shortest of the Masters is quite the disappointment, especially seeing as he's portrayed as the tallest in the cartoons. So, I took the challenge of making Onua not only taller, but equivalently bulky, and along the way ended up making him Titan sized. I was really pleased with how he turned out, so I revamped Korgot so he has some company.

Hey all! If any of you have been following my Flickr, you would have known this topic was coming from all the MOC's I've been posting there for the past few days But anyway, I present to you the fruit of my latest MOC project, codename CCBS, or Creepy Creeps from Below the Surface. Or basically, the Barraki but remade in CCBS (pause for inevitable groans). The Barraki have always been my favourite of all the Gen 1 villains, it's no secret. And Takadox will forever remain my favourite G1 character. So I thought it was high time I gave them a complete CCBS overhaul to celebrate that fact. It pretty much started by making a CCBS Takadox, but it soon escalated into me wanting to remake all the warlords in CCBS form. I wanted to keep as close to the original set's appearance as possible, down to replicating the limb lengths and colours in the right places, but doing that only using CCBS parts (aside from the head, weapons and sometimes the feet). A full gallery including alternate views of all models can be found here. So, without further ado, time for some pictures, complete with descriptions taken straight from Flickr: Takadox: Here is my favourite of all the Barraki first of all: Takadox! In some respects he is the hardest of the Barraki to replicate in CCBS, due to the only Dark Blue parts in CCBS being Skull Spider masks and zero Trans-Fluorescent Blue CCBS parts. I still really like how he turned out, even if he now wears Skull Spiders and has a lot of his Dark Blue replaced with Black. Pridak: Here's the second Barraki in the series: Pridak. Out of all the CCBS renditions, Pridak is probably the closest to his original set appearance, given his waist articulated torso translates very well into CCBS. I also tried custom built feet to try and replicate his original feet. I was going to use the original feet but then I saw the Protector feet on my Master Wu Dragon and immediately saw the similarities, so brick built them. Ehlek: Here is the third Barraki: Ehlek! He was originally my first Barraki set. This Ehlek is probably a bit bigger than his original incarnation due to using 2 CCBS bones instead of a Technic liftarm for his body (a technique I'd used on Takadox as well). I was going to use Ehlek's original feet for this, but I didn't have any in my collection so kinda had to settle for Beast feet given I couldn't find a custom solution I liked. Mantax: This is Mantax, who probably has the most unique build of the 6 and thus was a little challenge to get right. If you look closely, the shape of the original build is imitated in CCBS using a blend of Takadox's CCBS build and a 9x9 torso. This is probably one of my favourite of the builds as I think it almost perfectly replicates the original Mantax build. Kalmah: Here is Kalmah, the first of the two Barraki with a more standard humanoid build (or "the Inika build" as I so often see it termed). I have tried to replicate the general shape and colour segregation of the torso in the original set as much as possible here, even if it has resulted in Kalmah perhaps putting on a little bit of extra weight I probably would have put more dark red shells on the sides of the torso, but I ran out of dark red shells as Kalmah relies heavily on dark red in his colour scheme. Carapar: Finally, here's the last of the Barraki: Carapar. He was always the strong and armoured one out of the Barraki, so I made sure that was reflected in his CCBS iteration. The colour is perhaps the most difficult to get right, given that Carapar's marbled olour was uniqque to that set. I eventually settled with a combination of Pearl Gold and Keetorange, the Pearl Gold since it is the closest match to Carapar's head colour, and Keetorange because, well, he featured that colour in the original set. Carapar is also one of the few models I've made to incorporate a Technic function, pushing together two Technic bushes on his claw causes them to open, then the claw snaps shut when you let go. Well, hoped you liked looking at my renditions of Barraki in CCBS. Comments and constructive feedback will be much appreciated, and feel free to pick out your favourites of the bunch and explain why. Hopefully these might garner more interest here than they did on EB- 14 replies
