The Swimming Beard Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 This started as an attempt to make an entry into BBCC 69, as an attempt to make Kopaka Mata in the 2015 style, but after making it I saw that the Toa Mata weren't allowed. I finally got around to taking pictures today after weeks of letting it sit. Main image : As always, comments and criticism appreciated. 1 9 Quote "I pitea the fool!"

evil_jaga_genius Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Uber cool. The trans-blue and the Kakama chestplate are insane... I have no clue how to pull that off. Two things: Maybe you would want to use a trans-blue brainstalk instead of a green one? Even a darker shade like on Toa Onewa would work. And maybe make the shield a little bigger... maybe use the snowflake pieces off Metus and Gelu? All in all, quite impressive! -Jaga 1 Quote Avatar by Nicholas Anderson (NickonAquaMagna)My blog: The Jaga's Nest
Cwog Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 This is great! For the head, though, use Ehrye's. It's the same shade of blue as the transparent parts of your Kopaka. Quote
Grungemeister Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 This is nice. VERY nice in fact. I only see one issue though. Those connector pieces with the V-shaped piece on the knees look like they bend over the thigh. If that's true, then wouldn't those stick out if you bent the knees?Other than that, this is an excellent MOC. The CCBS flows very nicely with the classic Technic.

xccj Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Nice, I very much like the use of the trans blue elements here. At those angles, the legs look very well done, although judging where the joint is, I think they might be awkward in other positions. I also like how the armor shells mesh in with the white Kakama on the torso. Very cool!

Cwog Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Vanson, remember the Inika shins? They have a bit of armor that sticks over the thigh, and it's somewhat reminiscent of real suits of armor. Same deal here, and it seems nice. Quote
Grungemeister Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Yeah, I see what you mean, but here it seems just a little too extended. Maybe that's just me though.

Zeb Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Wow, this is really COOL. I really like the use of the Witch Doctor masks and the Kakama, and the whole model has a very nice crystal feel to it. Kopaka looks very nicely armored, and the transparent light blue sections make the model look icy and frozen. Great job!

CrashDummy Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I absolutely adore this. The proportions are great. It looks meaty and not brittle like the originals. The joint coverings are just.....wow.

Toa Doublebee Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I think there should be a bit more trans light blue on his shoulders/neck area. And I do agree the shield is a little disproportionate to Kopaka's new grander scale.Other than that, this is purdy much perfect 1 Quote

It might look better. Quote
Petewa Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I like this revamp, and the crotch seems a bit weird here, and I'll agree that the shield is disproportionate, but any other shield wouldn't have the right feel to it, so to speak, Quote Mataru Nui, an Interactive Adventure

As for the shield, maybe the Kopaka Nuva shield under the Mata shield would be an improvement. Quote
jmflem Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 The Mata were allowed, just not recommended since they've "already been done" (in reference to the 2015 sets). This is pretty fantastic though! Quote
