How strong is it?

Strong enough to grab and touch it without problems, just grinds a little on bulges holding head.

Dang that looks gorgeous. Wonder if they sell it in Australia. I know everyone is going to be buying it now thanks to you. Great job on finding it.

I can tell you that im 99% sure they would sell it over here in either a hobby shop or gamesworkshop shop

That gold color is fantastic! :smiley: That’s the Titain Scale MoUP, right? :wink:

did you paint the mask the way it was when you got it or did you do something with it first?

@Takua_Nuva First I use gold spray paint, but it doesn’t look too much like lego gold, so I used this paint. That spray paint worked as a undercoat.

@Daler99 Nope, that villiger scale MoUP.

At last, I’ve acquired all 7 sets, and I tried to build Makuta with Eljay’s instructions. However, by the time I reached the shoulder armor part (with the beast jaw), I’ve seem to have run out of ball joints, and I’m missing one! Is anyone else having this problem?

I had that problem, so I used Skull Slicer’s ball-joints.

You may also need pieces from the Protector of Earth set as well (for the shoulder-pads).

@ultimo
What did you use for your JTO Makuta’s head? I just noticed it was trans-red.

@BBC1Wholock1 Modified glatorian head.

@BBC1Wholock1 Are you referring to the size 3 black armor shells on the Protector of Earth?

@Eljay Did you know run into a similar problem when recording your instructions, regarding the lack of a ball joint when constructing the shoulder?

You will not need the Protector of Earth, all the sets you need are:
Onua, Uniter of Earth
Tahu, Uniter of Fire
Ikir, Creature of Fire
Lord of Skull Spiders
Maskmaker vs Skullgrinder
Umarak the Hunter
Umarak the Destroyer

The extra ball joint is an unfortunate error that slipped through in the iterative process of creating this guy. I hope everyone can find a suitable alternative.

Ha…ha…ha… I’ve at last finished building Makuta! (Will post images later)

Fortunately for me, I’ve got an extra ball joint from the Chima Set 70008 Gorzan’s Gorilla Striker.

So, after many weeks of waiting, the last two sets (both Umuraks) have finally arrived (such a pity that the latest wave wasn’t released over here :sleepy:). And after spending several hours building him, I have to say that it is probably the best Bionicle Display Piece I have ever constructed:

so I have a question, which pieces in particular are needed from Umarak the Destroyer? as I do not wanna spend $25 when all I’ll need in the end is $5 worht of parts

Looks like i was able to Build Makuta, Although it isnt entirly accurate its still similar
