banana92 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 So the Bohrok Va are some of my favorite sets released, I just love the idea of little scout/medic style villans who seek out fallen bohrok, and being sold right in the heart of my childhood, as well as their adorible compsure helps propel that opinion. So I made a Bohrok Va MOC, Fehrok Va! http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/banana92/Recolors/20161020_223738.jpg The idea is that I wanted something with a bohrok shield not present on other bohrok va, dark gray as a secondary came to mind because I chose the dark orange color for the set, and it suited the iron feel, also the smoke eyes helped with that vibe, I also wanted to use a weapon not used for any other set, so my recent trident fit the bill perfectly here Now I wanted to make him different, and so I chose the extended waist akin to Gahlok Va, the neck however was sort of a happy accident, as I had already used one of my 2 dark orange 1# connectors on Pewku and couldn't find the second, in using this, I noticed it gave him a hunched look and it grew on me fast. His krana in theory will be light grey since they exist in hard plastic So far I love the little guy and I plan on making a medium blue/turquise Bohrok Va soon when I get kongu's mctoran feet, the hard part will be the weapons and krana holder, I will use the minifig katanas in teal if I must though. The eyes might be yellow? or medium green?

Takanuinuva Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Daww that's adorable. The Bohrok Va are my favorite small build sets as well. Love how you made a dark orange version. I'd love to see what the turquoise one looks like. Quote I am Takanui Nuva. The Toa Nuva of Light I also go by Baron Von Brickenstein AFOL, Gamer and overall nice person.

banana92 Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Same here, can't wait to get Kongu's feet, surprised I don'the have them already, the colors for it were a difficult choice since turquoise didn't come to mind right away but now I love the idea, I think it will still be a water element though, haven't decided yet, and if I can find a way to give it Tahu's medium blue fire sword without it looking gaudy... Of course my profile picture is the Nuhvok Va I drew way back when the drawings were popular, I may make one for Fehrok VA too!

Wiriamu Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Nice couple of sets dude; very believable. It is kinda lame that we only got six swarms of Bohrok and Va in the story given the additional elements, though I suppose we did get the Kal to kind of make up for it.

banana92 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 I have invisioned Kal-Va but the prospect kind of bored me :/ it's a neat concept but the silver makes them less believeable, still totally do able though, silver 3 liftarm, silver hand connectors (without the axle attached) in color arm, neck, and probably hip attachment piece, silver bohrok shields, they build themselves really Quote I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Invisible Handman Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Wahrok va is also okay, I like the choice of weapon. As they are recolours I wont say much about their build but the colour choices you used are really good.

banana92 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Thank you, yeah, I like him top, wasn't too sure on the name and though I like tge sand blue/medium blue mix, it's not the most camera friendly, he is a little special in that he uses a 2003 matoran hip piece to connect his legs to the torso, which actually takes posibility, but I like it for that, and I'm getting used to the weapon Quote I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging I'm digging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katanga Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Fehrok Va looks really good. I must say your first picture of it really didn't do it any justice. I love, love, love the way that shield looks on the Va build. My only complaint is that the secondary color distribution does't actually match the original Va, making the grey trident stand out a little in my opinion. 1 Quote My Bionicle Tumblr.

Master Inika Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Where exactly is that recolored bohrok kal shield from?The Hewkii-orange Sonics Shield comes from the 2004(ish?) edition of the Millennium Falcon; the other is, if I'm correct, from the Technic Super Battle Droid.

Aanchir Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Wow, clever! As a kid I enjoyed making my own creations like Matoran and Toa using the sets as a template, and also loved collecting palette swaps of Bionicle parts from other themes. But I never even thought about other Bohrok-Va colors being possible! I guess it really takes someone who loves the Bohrok-Va to realize that kind of potential. I kind of wonder if another eye color like Tr. Fluorescent Blue (Trans-Medium Blue) or Tr. Bright Bluish Violet (Trans-Purple) might be better for this guy. One of the coolest things about the Bohrok in my opinion was how they all had eye colors that sharply contrasted with their primary and secondary colors. Then again, I guess Pahrak's Tr. Green eyes were sort of an exception to that. Your call! Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva) Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 It never really struck me how adorable the Va were until I saw this topic.
