Vakamu Toa of PLasma


Onvermel

Recommended Posts

So last week I poster "Dukat toa of stone". Today I am showing you folks the third member of the toa Eciep. Vakamu!

(Click image for emore pictures) So Vakamu is a lot like Dukat in being rather aggressive. Due to their similar personalities they had been know as twins of a sort. However Vakamu is a lot more rude and far more willing to bend the Toa Code. He also doesn't really like Onvermel all that much.

 

Not really my favorite of the team but i am more of less pleased with him.

He's an interesting model; a little too similar to Vakama with his name and that Huna, but otherwise pretty good.

Voicing your opinions with tact is the best way to keep a discussion from becoming an argument.
So far as I'm aware, it's pronounced like this: We're ee ah moo.

Honestly speaking it's because way back when I derived his name from Vakamu and Ahkmou. I just never was inventive enough to get him a new name so this kinda just stuck. I'll say this it's not as bad as my (Onvermel) original name. It was Onupurple. Yeah pretty bad.

Pretty neat build, I feel like he could do with a  bit more silver distributed through his design though.

I completely agree he definitely needs more silver. Hopefully I'll get around to adding some in his arms I think.

First what set has orange nuva armor

And second nice build such a great balance of color and texture.

9/10

His weapon is a bit bland for such a awesome build.

First off thanks for the kind words. Second the orange armor came from those technic Hockey sets from 2003 such as this guy http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=3544-1&name=Hockey%20Game%20Set&category=%5BSports%5D%5BHockey%5D#T=S&O={}

Really good. Its agood custom design, my advice is that i think his fingernail/claws are unnecessary.

I do half agree with the advice. Normally I wouldn't of done it however his original body used a Onue claw in orange as one hand so I wanted to keep the clawed hand. However I do have second thoughts for it.

 

Thanks.

Apart from the silver distribution (a necessary evil, I imagine- I doubt you had the parts in orange or white), this seems like a fantastic MoC.  I really want to figure out how you made that torso- it reminds me a lot of Toa Mata torso pieces, except entirely custom.

It is not for us to decide the fate of angels.

Dominus Temporis, if you're out there, hit me up through one of my contacts.  I've been hoping to get back in touch for a long time now.  (Don't worry, I'm not gonna beg you to bring back MLWTB or something.  :P )

Excellent. What struck me about this model was the innovative custom work on the torso and head, particularly how solid and full it looks in spite of not relying on conventional pieces. The color scheme could use a little bit of work; in particular, I would say either add more silver to the body or remove the chest and other silver bits. As it is, the silver chest and upper legs (and gray axles) detract from the fairly pure, Toa Mata-reminiscent color scheme (the silver chain works fine, though). On the whole, though, it's a great model.

As you and many say about the silver I agree it really needs to be worked on. As for the torso I'm glad it looks like the Mata's as that was the intent and it's good to hear that I succeeded
