The 1st Shadow Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Having picked up Skull Basher the other day, I decided to do a bit of MOCing. Using only parts from Onua, Korgot, and Basher, I have constructed this monstrosity! Finished it in about 25 minutes (not counting the destroying of the three component sets). ^Click for gallery^ FrontBackPoseSecond poseClose-up of the torsoOne-foot testSize comparison"Well, it was nice knowing you, Tahu."Leftover parts Dear LEGO, This is how you should do combiners. Sincerely, me. Comments, criticism, and carrot-cake appreciated. Enjoy!

Ghidora131 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Mm, carrot-cake... I find it annoying that the arms are so short, but this is how LEGO should do combiners. Nicely done! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallior Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Ooh, fancy! This guy is pretty dang cool, and while I agree he's a fine combiner example, he is a little spotty in places. I really like the thickness of his legs, but his torso and arms are too light for his frame. I'd suggest filling those in (if possible). Otherwise, he is a fearsome foe. 1 Quote "Remember when the comics forum had a lot of good stuff?

Bonkle Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Before anchor arms. After anchor arms.500 Yards! Anyways, I really, REALLY like this. It's a very cool concept and looks very good. Perhaps you will make these for the other elements as well? 2 Quote I been away a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 1st Shadow Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the feedback, all! I find it annoying that the arms are so short, but this is how LEGO should do combiners. Nicely done! Ooh, fancy! This guy is pretty dang cool, and while I agree he's a fine combiner example, he is a little spotty in places. I really like the thickness of his legs, but his torso and arms are too light for his frame. I'd suggest filling those in (if possible). Otherwise, he is a fearsome foe.This can be answered in as simply as "LEGO chooses to give us sets with the shortest possible bone pieces." Having used only parts from the sets, there's nothing I can do about that. Anyways, I really, REALLY like this. It's a very cool concept and looks very good. Perhaps you will make these for the other elements as well? I plan to! As soon as I get Kulta, I'll blend him with Tahu and Narmoto. As soon as my brother gets Warrior, I'll do the Ice Titan as well. Jungle will have to wait, since I don't have Lewa and can't find any of Vizuna at my local stores.

Petewa Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Schnazzy, this is. Nice little combiner. Notice the sarcasm when I say "Little". Quote Mataru Nui, an Interactive Adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voxumo Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Firstly, This is an excellent combiner. Even without knowing sets by heart, I think it would be obvious which two it combined. Also including both onua's and skull basher's chest plates was nice. However, I agree with the arms being a bit short, and also I can't get over those random bone piece jutting from the shoulders. They don't seem to connect to anything, and they just look weird floating there, like they were an after thought.

Definitely an afterthought, yes. I just didn't want to have those empty balls just sitting there, so I added the remaining bones. 1 Quote ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meowmachine Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I actually think the legs are the weak point of the set. The arms are bulky enough and you did your best with the chest but the legs look too thin. Quote What do I write here? Someone, say something funny so you can be remembered for posterity.

I figured it was best to stick with the skeleton theme and keep it looking as "dead" as possible while still formidable.
