The CryoMancer Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Alright, so I built a Toa of Ice self-MOC, but it used most of my "cool bits", like the pieces that make up the thighs.Anyway, I managed to buy a golden Krakhaan of a friend, and I really wanted to use it in a MOC, but it was too big for most of my toa.My eyes drifted over the self-MOC, by now a silver Toa of Iron with the Stars Ahvokhi...In a fit of Ciaphas Cain induced WH40K obsession, I used Xplode's shoulderpads and Duncan Bulk's chest and legs as armor and a jetpack, yielding a Spaise Mairen-ish body type.Gallery (when public): http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=489189Deeplinked pics:http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/TheCryoMancer/MakutaRemake/photo_on_11-18-11_at_1.51_pm.jpghttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/TheCryoMancer/MakutaRemake/photo_on_11-18-11_at_1.52_pm.jpghttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/TheCryoMancer/MakutaRemake/photo_on_11-18-11_at_1.54_pm.jpghttp://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/TheCryoMancer/MakutaRemake/photo_on_11-19-11_at_1.57_pm.jpg-The CryoMancer -Edit: Darn, I knew that pic was too big....

BrickPharaoh Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 This is really nice, although the legs need some bulking up (perhaps changing them altogether and using Makuta's old leg design as a reference?). I also have another problem with this MOC. His arms are too thin and spindly for such an awesome remake, so why not add a couple of blades or claws or maybe even a few pieces of armor? Other than that, good job . Quote "Welcome to Valhalla, Warrior."

The CryoMancer Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Thanks.The legs are a weak point, but bulking them up is gonna be hard. I might be able to add some stars armor of something, though....The arms actually are more more bulky in person, the Xplode armor is actually attached to the arms. The double Metru-head arms are one of my favorite designs, and I was thinking of adding a Inika spiky shoe...

PooZy Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 You definitely need to redo the legs.I advise not using toa leg design, it is way too small for a makuta. He looks like his legs are fingers because they are so tinythe top half is a different story, very makutery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably go for a digitigrade look, mebbe add some pistons. I thought that the original legs where kinda a weak point of the '02 Makuta, so I tried to stay away from that. I'll see what I can do...

Zarohum Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Meh. It's Ok, but the color scheme is way too far off from the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simulacrum Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hmm. The other links didn't work, but from what I could see, It sorta needs a more consistent color scheme. 5/10 from what I could see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The CryoMancer Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 Well, I wouldn't say jumbled, It's just black and red and silver, with a gold mask. It'd probably be better with one of those fancy-shmancy black "movie" Teridax masks, but you take what you can get...
