_shaddow_ 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJ Tong (zfogshooterz) 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garmadon 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Umbra-Manis 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted June 3, 2019 I liked the original mech a lot and this is a great upgrade! The dynamic poses really sell it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samurai-turtle Posted June 4, 2019 When I look at this, I think of the Hulkbuster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the stone army shoulderpads from 2013. It was borrowed from a MOC Djokson made a good while ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
