I’m quite proud how these turned out.
When I designed them, I tried to stick as close to the Hagah designs as possible, only deviating when necessary, such as the shields for Gaaki and Kualus, and Bomonga’s spear tip.
Additional Thoughts:
Two of these, Gaaki and Pouks I had pre-built, so it was a simple matter of changing color schemes, and refining the designs.
Gaaki: Personally, I went with silver because gold and blue are toa of Psyonics colors.
Love how my design for her shield came out.
It was created because I only own the silver Hagah shield that came with Norik, and have no spares.
It has two Rhotuka launchers.
Kualus:
The shield was a fun build, and a challenge to get it to fit the Nuurahk Vahki staffs.
The mask came about from playing around with white Kanohi masks.
Pouks:
Pouks as I said before, was pre-built.
Used Lhikan’s Hau because it was one of the few masks I had I Flat Gold.
Bomonga:
Personally my least favorite, due to the bizarre spear tip design I forced to use due to have a VERY limited amount of Flat Gold swords.
Unlike the majority of entries in this contest, I additionally thought these should fit into a canister, as Iruini and Norik do.
Even being Metru builds, I worked hard on these, so I would appreciate comments and constructive feedback.
