[MOC] Demitoran Exoskeleton

[The Mugbearer]

Oh, when it comes to sharing my recent MOCs, I can be lazy for months until I will take pictures.

So don't be surprised when I will say you that this MOC is a half-year old, or even more. =D

So, what do we have today to share with community? We have an exoskeleton!

I never did such a models before so don't expect much, but I hope that for the first time the result is more than satisfactory.

Unfortunately, both suit and it's pilot are gray and black so they are a bit blended.

I knew that model will become not very poseable so when I was taking pics, I wasn't worrying about much epic poses, only angles that would be interesting.

As you can see, Pilot's torso is protected by Hero Factory 2.0 chestplate. I love this part.

Also there is two guns that suit carries - some sort of blaster and a machinegun. The blaster is attached to automated turret mount, but the gun should be held in hand to use it.

Here's the MOC from behind.

Now we have a view to foot. Pilot's foot is attached to exoskeleton by three-wide axle with stud, just like Toa Nuva had their instruments attached to the feet.

Here is how suit look like with turned off weapons.

Weapons are placed on Vahki pelvis part that can be removed. Here you can se unarmed version of exo-suit.

And now, the moment of truth. I am pulling chest plate up and deattaching pilot from his trusty armor.

Pretty skinny huh?

Okay, now I will introduce the pilot.

He's a Demitoran, a representative of 'half-blood' race of mask-faced inhabitants of Matoran Universe. Originally thay has been breeded as results of Karzahni's experiments, but also any Matoran could become a Demitoran if Energy of Toa was transferred incorrectly.

I've tried some interesting hand technique on this one and I am pretty satisfied, though some of my friends told me it's ugly.

This design allows me to attach to hand suit's weapons so Demitoran could defend himself if caught without his exoskeleton.

"I've got you on my aim."

Okay, that's all for today! Enjoy, comment and put some critiques! I will appreciate any feedback.

Wow, that is really (insert adjective describing amazement)! As you can see, I'm kind of at a loss for words. It's a really nice exo-suit. Whenever I try to make armor suits like this they always end up looking like an inconsistent and flimsy pile of parts. Great job here at making it sturdy and consistent.

Oh, and I think the hands look fine.

Neat design. The exoskeleton looks very mechanical, which contrasts well with the smooth shiny armor of your pilot.

With that said, I think it would be easier to appreciate the pictures of the exoskeleton with pilot included if they were contrasting colors as well. As it is, in these pictures it's hard to tell where the Demitoran ends and the exoskeleton begins.

Your mocs are sure as hell sexy

I am already mentioned that they are the same color. =) It's because I have no any other colors of Miru Nuva, so I was forced to make them very same at the color scheme.

What a compliment! ^_^ Thank you!

The hands are a bit unfinished, but everything else is epic.

Can you post instructions?

[The Mugbearer]

Nope, I currently live in other city so I have not my models with me. Also I hate making instructions.

Awesome!
