Takanuinuva Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks to some Bricklink orders that arrived today I can now show off my mods for the 2015 ToaOne thing to mention with all of them except Onua. I built a custom torso since I didn't like the exposed ball joints on Tahu, Pohatu, Gali and Lewa. I didn't with Onua cause of his large chest piece. I won't show how its built until LDD updates. Till then feel free to guess how I built it. Also they all have silver armor save for Tahu and Kopaka's chest plates. I hope in later waves we get Silver Red or White printed chests for Tahu and Kopaka.Gallery when publichttp://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=554632TahuI shortened his legs and change his feet from silver to red. Swapped out chest armor for Breakout version. I might change his eyes to orange once I get the summer sets.Fronthttp://www.brickshel...015/tahu001.jpgSidehttp://www.brickshel...015/tahu002.jpgBackhttp://www.brickshel...015/tahu003.jpgWeapons stored on backhttp://www.brickshel...015/tahu004.jpgSecondary Weapon Functionhttp://www.brickshel...015/tahu005.jpgWith Gold Mask of Firehttp://www.brickshel...015/tahu006.jpgKopakaI removed the trans blue, Swapped his silver chest for a white Breakout version.

Petewa Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Personnally, I can only approve of Pohatu, Onua, and the Suva, the rest it seems most of what you did was take away what made them special, Quote Mataru Nui, an Interactive Adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwog Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Tahu: His extra height with the default build really did him justice, and shortening his legs make him look oddly stocky. The feet could have stood to be silver, but the rest of the silver armor would have looked better as gold. Kopaka: Again, height and armor color should have stayed. I like the sword, maybe give it some more girth on the other side of his hand? As for his leg armor, move one or both of those pieces to the side. Makes his legs look kinda weird to have them both in front. Onua: For the most part, this guy looks really good! My major gripe is that his upper arms aren't the kind that restrict movement to back and forth, like the actual set (actually, looking back, I noticed that Kopaka and Tahu are the same? Why?). Otherwise, a solid build. Lewa: Overall, pretty nice, but again with the upper arms. It makes it look kinda odd.. Pohatu: I really, really like this one. Adds bulk, and overall not bypassing the word filter. Again, upper arms are weird, but that's my only real complaint here. Gali: This is pretty nice. No real complaints, no real compliments. Looks good overall, but the upper-arm-syndrome has struck again. Suva: I love this! Only issue, which I don't know if you can fix it, is that Lewa's spike pieces are the wrong shade of green. Other than that, it's great! Edited April 1, 2015 by Tufi Piyufi Don't bypass the word filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
