@ shakar; no problem, glad you like it. The glatorian head can actually fit the new masks, its tighter than the bionicle head, but it would probably work for the shapways masks. Its just a matter off making sure it can go on and off safely

Isn't that gold great? You should do his jaw, It would look way better in gold

My character for hero factory. I made one for each series, partly because through sheer luck, I selected blue as his main color and that always got used in the series itself, so I got lots of good parts. He started with a 2.0 style hero recon set. His power is energy absorption/redirection, hence the glowing armor. 1.0 Lightly modified 1.0 frame with a cool gun. I'm really happy with it, despite the simplicity 2.0 My Hero recon set, with minor alterations to compensate for the hero recon builder's limitations. 3.0 I saw stringers helmet and thought "predator!" right off the bat. So Radon 3.0 ended up being a predator homage with a spear, wrist blades, and shoulder cannon with independent tracking. Breakout Radon This guy has a space marine vibe, with 2 awesome weapons, and lots of armor. I didn't like the breakout/superhero torso much, so I stuck with the 2.0 chest. He has the newer hero core on his back as a backup Radon XL Brain Attack was where I started running out of steam, this guy is obviously a furno mod, but I liked that years furno alot. The cape is connected way better, sword is awesome, much cleaner, and condensed compared to furno A fun group shot. And I didn't forget Invasion from below: No mech, cause bionicle g2 became a thing (and now its gone)

Thanks! I try to keep mocs for a theme looking like they belong in that theme, and with this guy it was really fun to try out different styles. The sets in hero factory were really good up until they cut the budget. The story was really bland though...

You can get really close, but you need some extra gears and ball pieces since the model uses all of them. But you will have all the trans purple and ekimu armor left over. My whole entry for the makuta contest was made mostly with leftover parts from the combiner (http://antak3000.deviantart.com/art/Makuta-the-Destroyer-634612399) No idea on the spawn though, didn't make one. But you end up with a massive pile of parts, I got a lot of mileage out of them.

Looks good! Glad the paint worked out for you! @Shakar. Its just the standard black strong and flexible. I too am curious about the hi-def achryllic, I'd love a smooth mask, but not sure if its worth that much to me... I need money for food and rahkshi parts

I just used one of the larger brushes from citadel. They're around 8 bucks and decent, if overpriced. If you have a craft store around you, look in their paint brush section, you want a small to medium sized brush with soft bristles, I have some vienna Artists Loft brushes too, think it was like, 4$. I like the ones that come to a point myself. The Paint is water soluble, so just rinse the brush off in water. test on an expendable surface first to get the hang of it. Like I said, its a layer paint, so you may need more than one coat. The gold paint you already applied will help a lot, so you wont get black showing through. Avoid painting contact points between the mask and head too much, since it'll rub off if its too thick. I used a krylon Matte coat on mine as well, just to protect it. Its doesn't change the paint color though, but it keeps paint on the sharp edges better

Use Citadel's Auric Gold paint. You can find it at most game stores, and its a perfect match. Its a layer paint, so it'll look great if you apply it over the gold you just did

Yeah, I, moved it to kurahk, It looked like his original spine. But the new one is definitely thinner than I want. any suggestions on parts?
-
Finished Turahk and Neutrahk today, I apologize ahead of time for photo quality here. I used a lot of red here, my camera doesn't like bright red. It has the same frame as the other 3, but with different chest armor, kraata chamber details, and an altered spine build to accommodate the lack of red 4 size plates. Staff is a nifty design based loosely on the original turahk staff, the shooter frame is just for show but it spins and looks cool. The 1.0 hero foot looks good but is frustrating to pose with, wish the small claw foot was available in more colors. As always, feed back is welcome!
-
oh, cool. that would fix his stiff ankles. thanks!
-
Okay, changed the spine, and took slightly better pictures.
-
The next in my rahkshi project was Kurahk. He has a similar build to Turahk, but with a better color layout, more elaborate staff, Longer legs. The staff is modeled after the classic kurahk's, And despite the gold, so is the spine. It has the usual waist function, flight mode, and dual function staff. Sorry for the cluttered background, doing a model commission for someone. I made a new spine for Turahk, This guy got the old one, which was closer to g1 kurahk's spine anyway. I need to go through bricklink and see which bones are available in white, it would make the legs look nicer. Next up is Gurahk in Blue, silver, and transparent orange. Planning a Density Control Rahkshi too, lewa green + black and med. trans green would look awesome

I loved galaxy Squad! But there was a lot of it on clearance in my area. I ended up getting duplicates of all the smaller sets, but most of the clearanced sets also hung around for months. Unfortunately, I think its less about viability of lego space and more about being out competed by lego star wars.

Thank you! You can get pretty close to a saucer, but I honestly never even thought about making one... Hmm This is actually what the ship looked like when I started

Bionicle Skull Villain Alternate Builds
Antak replied to TheOneVeyronian's topic in LEGO Action Figures
Here's my mods, I didn't do skull warrior because I like him too much Slicer got actual armor, no more trans orange, and an extra sword. He looks pretty good without all the gaps I kept LoSS basic design but beefed him up and adjusted the build on its legs to fit in a pair of mandibles that can actually grab stuff. He's also got a socket on his back for the Golden Spider Mask. Armor plates slide over the socket when the mask is taken out. I also got rid of basher's transparent orange and made his axes more interesting. I gave him the minotaur legs I saw from a user here. I'm really sorry, but I can't seem to find the picture. Scorpio got the most attention, with a fully articulated tail, fully articulated legs, better pincers, and a new admittedly less fun tail rubber band gimmick. But he looks AWESOME Kulta got longer legs and arms, a much better sword that can store on his back, animation style, the gaps in his torso were filled in, and there are 3 friction gears in each shoulder now. -
Here's mine, I filled in the gaps in the chest (also added crystals armor to the back) and redid the head with the jaw further back and higher up, with drastically shortened horns to emulate the mask of control. Also, did anyone else notice how good the Umarak mask Ekimu has looks on this guy?
-
That's okay, I got a more interesting picture Though the shadows make my design look fat

Here's my entry for the makuta contest. He's not too big, about the size of Umarak the destroyer. He has a waist function like the old 2003 model. The hammer is probably my favorite part, but i also love how the 2 Onua torsos mesh together. I named him the Destroyer, because I would have rather Lego release something like this for the large summer set instead of turning Umarak into a generic monster. I took photos out on a little bridge I found along a hiking trail, wanted it to stand out in the contest. Rebrick entry: http://www.lego.com/...cc-9cb29385a06c The moup normally looks like lego purple, however, in really bright lighting it looks more magenta.

What are the most underrated Hero Factory sets?
Antak replied to Logan McOwen's topic in LEGO Action Figures
Dragon Bolt, and Brain Attack Furno. Seriously the only furno with an interesting look. I also think Black Phantom was amazing -
Oh, cool. I'll keep my eye out for it

This guy just replaced voltrahk as my favorite. Colors are amazing, and staff is everything I wanted it to be. I was originally going to replicate the planetary gear system JTO makuta had in his staff, but realized there wasn't a good way to condense it. so I went with light and cool looking instead. Staff tips spin, which is awesome with the vortex print on those trans-purple dishes. The staff looks really good split into 2 and folds under the body like thrusters in flight mode. Plus I got to use a bunch of dark blue and trans purple. The out of place looking kraata is a stage 4 gravity control. Now to begin a Kurahk (I'm going by which rahkshi head colors have a reasonable amount of corresponding ccbs parts)
-
that would be awesome. That material looks perfect for a smooth black mask

they have acryllic, but its softer so I don't know how good it would be. The clear ultra detail generally looks smoother. the matte is a result of the printing process though, so there will always be a texture unless you buy the hideously expensive cast metal masks. I'd go with the black strong and flexible with 2 or three coats of whatever color you want it to be, spraypaint starts to smooth the design out a little.

I drastically shortened the horns on mine, mostly because I hate the hollow horn pieces they used. The small gold spiderleg/bone/horn actually looks a lot horns on the Mask of control. What did you do with his lower jaw?
