This is, in my opinion, my best Moc to date. I didn’t want to do the overused Mata Green and Gold or Metru Green and Silver colour schemes, because that’s not how I imagine Artakha. I see him as someone incredibly ancient, and I wanted to convey that with these more faded colours. I also gave him these silver gauntlet-y things, which I see him using like gloves to protect himself from the heat of any molten metal he might be forging.
His hammer is nothing special, but it’s not really meant to be. It’s just a forging tool, not something so ornate that you wouldn’t want to ever hit anything with it.
His articulation is, surprisingly, pretty decent, considering the layers and layers of armour he’s got. It’s not great, but he can still pull of quite a variety of poses.
Here’s a better look at the waist area. You can see that the armour is attached using those clear stand pieces from the DC Minifigures series.
As for his hips, you may notice that the construction is obscured by the cloth piece from Rey. As such, I have made instructions for this area of Artahka.
These instructions do have a slight error, the hordika necks holding the shoulder armour in place should have the ball joint pointing forwards instead of backwards.
I wasn’t expecting to like this and yet I find myself liking it.
The proportions and textures are on point, and the posing helps so much. The feet seem rather lacking but otherwise this is amazing!
This is pretty nice. Not very Bonkle looking but I’m expecting Artakha to have a bit more complicated armor. Only thing I really don’t like are the big wheels as shoulder pads.
Well done! The arms are a great example on how a simple build can look impressive. I like the massive shoulder pads, I didn’t know half of these pieces came out in olive green, but that’s nice! This is definitely one of my favorite entries.
this is soo goood!
the integration of system pieces is flawless. no gaps no big empty spaces.
love it. also the cloth piece is neatly integrated.
but I for the contest I feel this looks not fancy enough for arthaka. but that is my own interpetation of the character. this feels like a younger arthaka. still chipping away at the raw materials of his armor. and in the process of making it a piece of art
my opinion aside. this is a TOP tier moc.
great job.
