MOC: bodyguard skrall

[cheesey skrall]

My first MOC on Eurobricks. I might post more, I might not.

This MOC took around 2 days to build and I have modified it around 12 times until i was happy with it.

Aim and fire!

That is way cool. I like the use of that mask as stomach armor. Overall great moc, skrall looks better with yellow.

This is an OK MOC, but I think there are places it could definitely use improvement. First, definitely lengthen the torso. With such long legs and such wide shoulders, it definitely needs a longer torso. Of course, one could also argue that the shoulders are what should be abandoned in favor of more typical proportions, since the way they are now hardly any of the shoulder armor is protecting them.

Second, the sleekness of the torso and leg armor simply doesn't work with the chunky, rocky parts used elsewhere.

Finally, while I think the leg armor is clever, the legs and arms in general look flimsy compared to the bulkiness of the rest of the build. It makes the overall physique look unnatural, kind of like giving a barrel-chested dude with six-pack abs a pair of bony arms and the legs of a runner. It just doesn't work.

This is a nice concept, but I see lots of room for improvement. But as you said, this is already the product of many design stages. A few more shouldn't hurt.

This is great! I love how it's so big, like a real body guard. The coulours go well, and I like how you made the limbs

The modified club is nice. I've already myself given up on the idea of using this club other than as standard, but I see you managed fine with the gap.

I don't like the yellow thighs though, because the balls at both end have no function.

But overall, nice
