Was his friend name Nex? Because this moc has a similar color scheme to him.
While the color is well balanced, the leg build is pretty bad from the back, the pins of the upper leg sticks out and the lower section is an exposed beam.
Good stuff. Orange and white is a slick color combo. And that mask is very underutilized in MOCs, I feel. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in orange either.
The only criticism I have is regarding the hands. Those Technic pieces don’t look anything like hands. Why not use the fists instead?
