Jerac Posted June 29, 2022 Ever since I completed the Countess of the Capital of Hell, I wanted to build an angelic counterpart, with a notably contrasting design. Where the Countess was slender and slim, the Angel was supposed to be muscular and powerful. I had no idea for the wings and the armor was even worse, as it had to be shiny - but I had not much shiny pieces available. There was some metallic silver and gold pieces on the market, and of course pearl gold, but while pearl gold looks alright in accents, it doesn't look good in larger surfaces. The project would be probably permanently on hold, but LEGO has released one of my all time favourite sets: the Infinity Gauntlet. An excellent and varied source of metallic gold pieces, perfect item to be reforged into an angelic armor! Once I had this idea the actual build took just about one week, plus some tweaking later with help of my fellow Zbudujmy.To friends who helped me with few issues regarding proportions. Wings are shamelessly stolen from Dees, a great builder known for his Angel of Regression, with minimal tweaking as I had more limited piece pool. I could not decide which halo/sword variant is the best, so I include both now and let you decide! ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ExeSandbox Posted June 30, 2022 Interesting concept! An bulky and ominous angel is something else. Wings are very beautiful and that sword hilt is . The iridescent sword and halo(?) version really sell the look for me personally. But the regular halo is a cool parts usage, I didn't know the spiral stick could bend that much!

It does bend, a bit more than a flex and a bit less than an axle. However: you need to be careful because if you overbend it, it will get permanently damaged at the injection points. Considering those firepole pieces are not particularly rare nor expensive, I did not have a problem with that, though ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister_Loki Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Getting huge Diablo vibes from this MOC, I love it. The wings are amazing and the armor is so detailed as well. Amazing design! Edited July 2, 2022 by Mister_Loki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guyinaplaguemask Posted July 4, 2022 Extremely cool. How much articulation is there, and how stable is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suck at making faces so I cheated a bit this time ^^ 42 minutes ago, Guyinaplaguemask said: Extremely cool. How much articulation is there, and how stable is it? Not much, to be honest. I intend to improve it when I make intstructions, but it will never be a playset, at best a slightly poseable static figure. The constant struggle I have when building large figures is hiding the joints. There always seem to be some unsightly gaps which I can't deal with properly, so considering those models spend 99% of their time standing behind glass, going for the looks seem to be the better way to go.

Black one makes it look like it was hidden in shadow, which is at least a bit believable. How to make it any other color without looking like a statue?

natesroom Posted July 4, 2022 not sure... It just doesnt look as angelic. not sure the size of the area but maybe going from top to bottom from black to dark grey, medium, then light grey or something so it looks like shadow?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koalayummies Posted August 8, 2022 Unbelievable. When it doesn't even look like Lego then you know you've gone beyond master builder to some sort of omnipotent-tier creator. One of those truly jaw dropping builds. Incredible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Axelford Posted August 10, 2022 The hood and pauldron combo reminds me of an infamous piece of Roblox headgear lol, stunning part spam though and usage of gold pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
