xccj Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 My entry for BBC Contest #69: Matau, Master of Air This was an interesting exercise is getting enough dark green integrated into the new CCBS style. I already had plans to build a Matau Metru revamp, so that's the direction I decided to take for this contest. But the MOC got a little too big for my previous project, so now it's just on its own. I was also inspired to use the boomerangs as his wings, and he also comes complete with a gear function. I think he has some shortcomings, but I won't spoil the surprise so find them for yourself. Anyway, yeah, this is what I'm pushing into the contest. Comments and such are appreciated. Thanks for looking! 4 Quote My BZPower Stories Dark Core--Kulagi's Kanoka--A Shadow's Contrivance--Mystery on Keli-Nui--BZ-Koro: To Bring Back Bionicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 1st Shadow Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Impressive! Definitely captures the spirit of the character. The hips look a bit empty, but the rest of him just about makes up for it. Best of luck in the contest! On a side note, I see you borrowed my wings from my "Guardian of Stone" MOC.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Wow, he towers over the original Matau Metru! Nice cohesive colour scheme and seamless mix of Technic, CCBS and regular system. Like the wings a lot. The design is creative but looks a little boxy, especially from the side angles. Still, neat moc and great entry! -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konahrik Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 V-air-y nice re-imagining of Matau. It looks very solid everywhere, just not in the hips unfortunately. The hips are the only thing that really look meh on the model, perhaps a couple of tires or the vahki hip piece would've looked better. Still though, maybe it's just a homage to the original's thin hips, eh? Anyway, great MOC, I hope to see it go far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axilus Prime Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Very nice. Solid color scheme, though in this case I think it might be too solid somehow. Or maybe it's just the lighting causing the gray not to pop as much as it did on the original Matau. The build looks great except for the stomach area. He looks a little fat there.

Petewa Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 He looks nice, a bit bulky, IMO, but overall looks great, Quote Mataru Nui, an Interactive Adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
