Pate-keetongu Posted March 27, 2015 Good evening fellowe action figure guys, here's the latest Bionicle creations of mine, Toa Nautilda: Toa Nautilda is a toa of water and protector of Ruki-Koro, a fishing village at the south-west coast of the island of Bio-Klaani. She used to work with Toa Ursanga, who later left the village to move north. Nautilda is tall and strong all-out attacker, in opposite to "agile martial arts master" toa of water trope. She has a heavy trident, sharpened flippers, seashell helmet for serious head-butting and a array of knives that also work as a rudders when swimming. There are more photos and talk on Cyclopic Bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aethersprite Posted March 27, 2015 Lovely. I especially love the use of the Tahu Mistika blades for his knee/shin armour! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robin Creations Posted March 27, 2015 Wow, another great Bionicle MOC from you! I like Hahli's wing blade things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bacem Posted March 28, 2015 wow, incredible! nice use of dragon bolt's head there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheOneVeyronian Posted March 28, 2015 I like that the whole build is essentially stuffed with some neat NPU's (I didn't even recognise the seashell helmet as being Dragon Bolt's head until somebody else said it). I think the arms and the feet are a bit simple compared to the rest of the build, and I would have liked to see a little bit more medium blue in the build, but otherwise it's pretty good, and a very nice concept. Somehow it doesn't leave much of an impresson on me like some of your other builds do (I can't quite put my finger on why though), but that's just me of course Look forward to seeing what you come up with next Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Fusion Posted March 28, 2015 Are those forearm bones custom moulded? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheOneVeyronian Posted March 28, 2015 Are those forearm bones custom moulded? Pretty sure it's this piece with some add-ons (unless I've got where the forearm is mixed up again). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Fusion Posted March 28, 2015 Pretty sure it's this piece with some add-ons (unless I've got where the forearm is mixed up again). No, I mean the lower arms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheOneVeyronian Posted March 28, 2015 No, I mean the lower arms. Sorry, I said I might have got my forearms mixed up! In that case it looks like this in light bluish grey with this on it. The hands seem to be attached by means of a bar attached to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pate-keetongu Posted March 28, 2015 Sorry, I said I might have got my forearms mixed up! In that case it looks like this in light bluish grey with this on it. The hands seem to be attached by means of a bar attached to this Yep, this is correct. Thanks everyone. The arms are dead boring. I sort of realized it after taking pictures. There are some hard bits on arms overall, as compact good-looking human hands are pretty much impossible to connect to ball (except HF/Bionicle fists, but they don't look that good and are dull to pose) and there are not very much choices for socket-socket arms; This might sound pretty random, it's hard to explain really, but I feel some others of my MOCs suffer for boring upper limbs, for example, Kira and Alina This might also be because the arms are usually the last part to be built on action figure creations and I might have lost interest by them; and then I just throw together 7-long double socket with some armor and slizer feet and it ends up looking like that. Should pay attention and do something similar to Tawa here, or probably fiddle with Boat stud elbows, even though they are quite stiff and hard to pose.
