_shaddow_ Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Here is my entry for the Ninjago Legacy Contest : Kai's Fire Mech, inspired by the official model from 2013. While this version retains all the original's detail, I've taken a more powerful approach to the proportions and shapes. Gone are the thin parts, this new take on the Kai's mech can take down every Stone Warrior around and then some! And to go with this new direction, the katana blade has also been upgraded. I've also changed the mech's colours a bit to add some dark red, which fits better with Kai's outfit, taken from Hands of Time. One feature I wanted to implement was the "transforming" hand, which goes from four-barreled cannon to a simple hand. While the solution is simple, this may well be the part where I struggled the most getting it right. I wanted to retain the original shape while having a solid looking hand, and it needed to be very compact not to throw off the proportions. Quote
JJ Tong (zfogshooterz) Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 Ooh, this looks really great! I dig everything about this mech from the shoulder pad to the limbs! Definitely love the new powerful approach! Quote
Takanuinuva Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 What is that piece used on the sword's hilt? Quote
Garmadon Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 I really like this - I'd have thought the set couldn't be improved on much, but you've done a great job beefing up the original! I'm digging the dark red, and the handles on the cockpit are great! Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Yeah, you definitely don't want to mess with this bad boy! I like how you beefed this thing up while still keeping the curved pieces on the shoulders that defined the original in scale and looking good. Quote
Kai NRG Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 I liked the original mech a lot and this is a great upgrade! The dynamic poses really sell it! Quote
samurai-turtle Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 When I look at this, I think of the Hulkbuster. Quote

Ransom Fern Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 Nice mix of red shades! Reminds me of RG Gundams Quote
