Popular Post Gamma-Ray Posted February 21, 2015 Popular Post Posted February 21, 2015 So I decided to remake Dume and Nivawk for BBC 69. I wanted both of these to have action functions in the spirit of the 2015 Bionicle sets. Dume features moving arms using the new gearbox part and Nivawk's wings can open and close similar to the original set!Here is a demonstration of the wing function. When the knob is turned the linkage opens and closes the wings! 38 Quote
Konahrik Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 You win. Seriously. This is my favorite entry so far. Dume's torso looks a little wonky, but Nivawk more than makes up for any of dumes flaws. Nivawk is the crowning jewel of this entry and it fits the theme perfectly. It even resembles the movie version to boot. I certainly expect to see your moc in the finalists group. Well done. 1 Quote
Iben Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Without a doubt one of the best entries so far. I can't believe you don't have more comments on this, because this is absolutely brilliant. I love Dume's build, I love the wings, and overall these two are very solid builds. I hope you win, because you certainly deserve it ! -Iben 1 Quote "Unity, Duty, Destiny."
Roa McToa Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 This is the best rendition of Turaga Dume and Nivawk I have ever seen. You've done an excellent job capturing Nivawks movie look with the new parts to boot! Killer entry! Best of luck in the contest! 1 Quote ^^ Clicky the Linky! ^^
Zeb Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Dume looks great and he has a gear function. ANDNivawk looks awesome and his wings still fold up. I can't find any real flaws with this! Well done! You did an excellent job on these models, and I expect to see this in the finalists! 1 Quote The artist formerly known as ŜﮞρЄЯ־GЄNіﮞŜ־CЯЄ▲Ŧ۞Я BBC#69 Entry: Roodaka - Master of Manipulation BFTGM entries: Zigben · Ventox · Deflecto “Hail Denmark.”
The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I need instructions for this, because it is official set quality. What has been said about the two and your likeliness to win has already been stated, so I won't reinvent the wheel. Fantastic MoCs man, Nivak being one of the best ones I have ever seen. 1 Quote A RUDE AWAKENING - A Spherus Magna redo | Tzais-Kuluu | Pushing Back The Tide | Last Words | Black Coronation | Blue Man Bound | Visions of Thasos ن We are all but grey specks in a dark complex before a single white light
Onvermel Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Awesome in every sense of the word! This is just pure awesome I can't even say how much I like this. This was one of my favorite sets and this just makes it so much better yet keeping all the coolness of it. Again awesome and my personal favorite entry yet. -Onvermel- 1 Quote "I believe in certainties.

Toa Turing Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Nivawk is awesome. He (she? it?) is so much more... complete than the set version. I like the use of the matoro weapons on the torso. Dume looks a little chubby, but the fact that you fit a gear function in him (and Nivawk) is impressive. 1 Quote I really need a better signature.
Klanadack Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Why couldn't Nivawk's set been this awesome? Seriously though, this is the best one yet. Nivawk kinda looks like something out of a Godzilla movie. 1 Quote Chuck Norik is no match for Bruce Lhikan! If you use correct grammar in your posts (or try hard to), place this in your signature.

Cirkitree Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 So, this is quite possibly the most awesome remake of the pair I've ever seen.Nivawk is perfect. You've nailed the shape of his head, his body, his wings.. perfectlyI like the Hero-Factory "Invasion From Below" head as the back of Nivawk's, and how you've managed to position the eyes just-right.And the wings! I'm thrilled they keep their function and look right. Far more true to what we saw in "Legends of Metru Nui", that's for sure.Dume's looking pretty good himself! I like his sort of rounded body, what with that red shell at the bottom. With his staff, he kind of reminds me of a cartoonish duke, or the really short, fat king in Disney's "Sleeping Beauty" (that's the only one I could compare it to xD ), and I like it! It suits Dume. The fact that you've managed to incorporate the gearbox makes him all the more better.Oh, and I dig that custom head.Both look amazing, really! I really hope this goes far in the contest, it deserves to at least make it to the finals for being such an accurate representation of the pair!(I can't seem to find the thumbs-up icon, so here's a smiley :-) ) 1 Quote
socketball Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I honestly think this may be the one I'm voting for 1 Quote You can find all of my mocs, custom parts, and other lego-related stuff at Flickr, Instagram, or Brickshelf.
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) This is so awesome! While Nivawk is definitely the star of the show, I really like Dume himself too. The skeleton is original and yet it still looks like something you would see in a 2015-styled set. Now, Nivawk! Wow. That is an extremely intricate design and I love how streamlined it looks. You somehow made it look extremely organic, and that is an impressive feat on its own. -NotS Edited March 6, 2015 by Nidhiki of the Shadows 1 Quote
-Windrider- Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Excellent set of MOCs, and with faithful functions too! Nivawk is gorgeous, but feels slightly off in proportions; I can't decide if it's the upper body or the legs and feet that are bugging me. Well, I'm not really going to complain, because this is an excellent entry regardless. 2 Quote
Munty Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Wanted to drop by and say congratulations on the win! It doesn't seem to have been officially announced yet but the results have been available in the voting topic for days now so I can only assume this is common knowledge by now. I actually got a sneak peek at the poll a few hours before (due to one of the spazzouts it had!) and you were winning then as well so I'm glad you took first place! Really well done mate, a well deserved win Quote Check out my Bionicle store on Bricklink here!> > > Bionic Bricks < < < Let me know if you can help me find these last few collectibles!Also looking for WILD KRAATA and a VMKK Yo!!!
