M<0><0<DSWIM Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 UPDATE! Thanks to Darth Dino's suggestion, I replaced Maul's eyes with cheese slopes to make him look angrier. And, thanks to A Plastic Infinity's suggestion, I added minifig hands to the fingers to give a jointed look. Oh, Sith! Not again! My 3rd entry in the Clone Wars Community Build: Darth Maul! This guy took a bit longer to build than I originally thought, but I'm very pleased with how he turned out. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to finish this build, til I got some ideas about how to finish the legs. I honestly feel like this is one of my best builds! I think I will attempt some new pics with a darker background, as some of the leg details aren't noticeable. Please let me know what you think! Thanks to the Admins for running this CB. I had alot of fun! Quote
Only Sinner Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 This is a fantastic MOC. I absolutely love this Maul. You can tell he's all psycho crazy here. Probably because he was cut in half. This is really well thought out, I must say. Quote

I thought about adding decals to the eyes to make him look crazier (and more accurate). What do you guys think? Quote
Darth Dino Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Hi do you ave wo yellw chese slopes? That would make grimm eyes. Do not put decals on your MOCs - it wil not match to your special "blocky" building style. Dino Quote

Infernum Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 Amazing work! I love the clawed feet! Great work! Great detailing on the body and the base really adds to the presentation! I love the horns! I think detailed eyes would look much better. Quote

M<0><0<DSWIM Posted May 12, 2013 Author Posted May 12, 2013 . But shouldn't his legs be grey ? Thanks! Well in the EU Visionaries story, his legs are dark grey. In the Clone Wars show, they are black with dark grey highlights. Quote
Dapper-D2 Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 SWEEEEEEET! And I want instructions for this, like YESTERDAY!!! Quote

I Scream Clone Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 A really cool build mate, have you tried the pearl gold round plates for eyes instead? Quote
Ninja Nin Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Truly stunning and amazing build ! ! Since the deadline is postpone, are you planning to make him a brother Savage ? Quote

I actually tried yellow cheese slopes per Darth Dino's suggestion, which I will post soon. Truly stunning and amazing build ! ! Since the deadline is postpone, are you planning to make him a brother Savage ? Thanks! Well, now that you mention it, I just might! Quote
M<0><0<DSWIM Posted May 26, 2013 Author Posted May 26, 2013 I made some changes to this fig, if you want to check it out. Quote
Darth Dino Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Hi OOOOUUH :) Thanks for trying my sugguestion! Indeed he looks angrier now. It is also very hard to get him because he had very small eyes in the movies. Maybe this is a TCWish version kf Darth Maul :) I also like that his temples have now a slightly angle. Dino Quote

Yes, this is definitely a TCW version of Maul, since I built this for the CW Community Build. Quote
Mr Man Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Have you thought about doing the second version, the one with more clothes and more humanoid legs? Quote
M<0><0<DSWIM Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 Have you thought about doing the second version, the one with more clothes and more humanoid legs? I actually think they shouldn't have changed his first look. The second version is too...normal. So, no; no plans to build that version. Quote

I thought the more normal look worked for him, he was turning into a manipulator and thinker rather than a beast, with Savage taking that role. Quote
