This could also be taken as an opportunity to run a separate mask contest parallel to the MOC Contest.

I think Tuyet with the Nui Stone Shards is distinct enough.

Yeah but what about other than that?

I think that’s the only one distinct enough. Every other portrayal is just her with/without the sword or stone.

That’s true.
though I am having a bit of trouble finding a way to input Nui Stone shards into my Tuyet moc

I’ve found that these work pretty good, though @TheJerminator used Minecraft Spider Eyes for smaller shards

Hmmm. Usually I’d say put it in pin or axle holes, but that seems pretty hard here. Inside arm axle, side of foot axle, basically any hole that would fit the piece. Also I’ve gotta say that this is a really great version of Tuyet, and the way the shoulders are built is genius!

all I got so far is a red stud inside the torso, but it’s hardly noticable.
Though where exactly are the shards located? Are they on the torso or all over?
Thanks!
I’m gonna enter it in the contest once we get there

While some people might have a gripe with the Metru Torso, I personally think it’s the most likely body as Tuyet’s home looked to be close to Metru Nui from the maps I’ve seen. An interesting fact though is Matoro seems to recognize her armor, implying it’s possibly the same as the Toa Nuva, since they would be the Toa that come to mind:
“Half buried in rubble was a Kanohi Mask of Power, one whose shape seemed vaguely familiar. Scattered nearby was blue Toa armor.”

yeah but where do I put the shards?
Where are the shards located canonically?

Uhhhhhh:
“And that was when Matoro noticed something - incredibly tiny, almost microscopic pieces of crystal embedded in the dead Toa’s armor.”

So the shards are all over her armor, rather than just the torso or limbs?
what’s this for?

yes, it seems that way.
Here’s a crazy idea: what if instead of adding on red pieces to the moc, you instead recolored all of the black parts to metru red?

That would look really weird
but now I’m tempted to do it just to see how it looks

This might be a situation where Armor could mean the armor on top of the body or the body itself.
Here’s a Greg Quote:
1. Tuyet mentioned that when Lhikan destroyed the Nui Stone, fragments of the crystal were embedded in her armor and body, essentially granting her access to the stored power without having to keep a grip on anything. Were the abilities of the Nui Stone at all reduced or changed in this state, or did Tuyet have full access to just as much power as she would have had with the intact stone in her hand? 1) Not changed Official Greg Dialogue | Page 224
So possibly both?
