Tabernax X1

[flameman]

the third MOC i posted today, it's a skyboard i made based on ignika's, the name was driven from the latin word tabernus meaning hover, for thos who wonder why does the toa look so simple-builded, it's a tablescrap, i just feel like making something to ride the skyboard thereMore pics of them in my galleryany C & C are greatly welcomed Edit: Images thumbnailed due to file size.

i love the shield the color scheme is great and works really well. i think the way the shield acts as a board is also really interesting. the only thing is the arms are a bit small for the rest of the moc.

Compared to your other MOCs that you've posted today, it's clear that the rider of this one is more of a tablescrap. It's still pretty good, though. The ankle guards seem a little oversized to me, though they don't look bad. I tinkered with the concept of using the Garai as a chest piece even back during the Certavus contest a few years ago, but I never got it to look as good as you did here.The Toa Ignika influence is clear here, though you far exceeded the quality of both Ignika and his skyboard. I'm not sure if I care for the yellow armoring or not, though I like the use of the feet as armor. The silver of it seems thicker and solid, save the front. I'd like to see some more silver armoring/weapons on there so it doesn't look as flimsy.

I love the skyboard, especially the area with the yellow HF feet in the back, you made the parts look perfect for the job. I also like how you angled the sides, and the use of pistons as guns (?). The Toa himself is simple, but the armor is creative and bulky. The Mistika jets look much better than Ignika's giant dome thruster. BTW, is that double socket in the back broken or modified in any way?

i actually get the idea of using that garai as chest armor from a friend of mine, you might know him as kanaya maryam here in bzpi actually pretty like that ankle armor idea, but i got to admit for a skyboard rider it makes it lack of movements a bit, thanks for your comments anyway, again

i angled the sides using one tri axle as the main connector in the middle bottom, thanks, yeah i like that mistika jets too, i never meant those pistons to be a gun though :Pand yes that socket is brocken, i don't have any other black socket though, if i use grey it'll mess with the colorscheme
