Faltan

[Chro]

Faltan, Toa of Earth, was once the second-in-command of a powerful Toa team. In fact, their strength was so great, that in a time of need for Mata Nui, they ventured to Voya Nui and down into the depths of Mount Valmai in order to retrieve the Mask of Life. They successfully evaded Umbra, passed through the Zone of Nightmares, and crossed the Lava Gate. But upon reaching the final chamber, they were confronted by the Mask's guardian, the predecessor to Vezon.His challenge was not one of battle, nor of wits, no- it was one of sacrifice. To enable his team to retreat unharmed with the mask, Faltan sacrificed to the entity all that it had asked- an arm and a leg. Acting swiftly, two of the team's Toa, of Iron and Magnetism, used replacements to heal him as best they could, creating robotic replacements for his lost limbs.That's about all of the backstory that's relevant, so I'll end it there.

The prosthetic parts look amazing and i love that mask. Nice job.

This is awesome! The blue and grey fit really well together. Both the torso and the legs are nicely done. This is so cool that I can't think up of any criticism so, great job on this!

The thighs are too thick and jumbled, and it might be nice if his feet were the same size. That's my only criticism. Everything else is fantastic, especially that mechanical arm.

Hmm, yes, I see what you mean. On my bulkier MOCs, I tend to just build and build, until I can't build anymore, or until I'm totally satisfied with the MOC.

so far can see that it's an awesome MOC< it'll be better if you could provide a full image which shows the whole MOC, not just parts of it, as i can't find any of those in the brickshelf gallery, anyway, i love how you do the left arm, really bulky, the legs are nice too, i'm not a fan of those mechanical limbs though because they didn't look really mechanical to me, maybe add some greebles and/or cables, tube or something might help.and I don't know why, but that torso armor made of 3 blue HF pieces actually works hereoverall, pretty great job, keep up the great work

That's strange, I thought there were full pics in the gallery... in any event there are full images on the MOCpage, though. I can see why you don't feel the mechanical quality of the arm and leg... I tried to add tubes and such but they ended up sticking out obnoxiously or just not connecting well, so I got rid of them. I guess I just see them as more mechanical when in direct contrast to the rest of the MOC.Glad you like the chest design, too. Thanks!
