I wanted something to hold my extra Toa masks when they were wearing either there standard or golden one. So I made a Suva Design in LDD

Here are some long overdue IRL pictures. The Golden Skull Spider Mask takes the place of the Mask of Creation. Once I get it. I will add pictures with the MOCR on the stand

I had promised pictures when I got the Mask of Creation but I held them off when if found out Uniter Lewa had trans apple green bohrok eyes. So without further ado. Here is the updated version. With the paper base from the Gold Grinder mask polybag

This is pretty cool, but do the masks go over those connectors IRL? Also, where/how did you come up with the name?

Just looking at this, you'd almost think that this was a set, maybe something that was an accessory for the Mask Maker.

The masks will fit over those connectors. But only on the slot where there isn't an axle.

As for the name it's from Generation 1 of Bionicle http://biosector01.c.../index.php/Suva

That's pretty awesome, I love when constraction and technic pieces are used for things non-figure/vehicle such as scenery, just gives a cool vibe to complement collections. I've only tried MoCing miscellaneous' s like weapon racks for HF though, nothing Bionicle sadly. I also like the use of the Bohrok eyes to represent the masks, very nice. Makes me miss those 2001 cannisters though. ;-; I had two Tahu Mata's and didn't even keep one cannister. I was a dumb kid...

Also are Gali's and Kopaka's Bohrok eyes the same trans color?

They are not. Gali's is Trans Dark Blue and Kopaka's is Trans Light Blue. LDD's color pallete makes them look the same.

Very good idea. I keep my gold masks on the shelf and I put them on toa very seldom and for a very short period of time because I'm afraid to lose the masks. Your sollution solves all the problems.

I must try to build it.

Apologies for reviving this thread, but I decided to make my own version of this with very slight modifications... It works well and looks really cool!

Not to shabby. But It looks like the 6 connectors for the Toa's mask look like they would turn a bit. Do they stay perfectly straight?

This looks amazing! Will there be instructions or a parts list? I really want to build this for my masks. Thank you!

There is an LXF file in the original post. Just download it and create instructions to get the part list.

They stay straight due to the technic beams with studs on the end

Very neat design! It seems to work great and I love the color added by the Bohrok eyes.
