Yeah because of the way the upper body is built, I would have had to disassemble the entire upper body to replace ONE of them with a black one. Too lazy to do it XD
Also because the halo and Aurum keep the pins hidden anyway, it kinda felt unnecessary.
And I thought Tahu Uniter had a lot of gold. Yeesh.
Very impressive, though, especially using almost entirely that one colour. But, even though it was what you were going for, it might benefit from some secondary colour to break up the monotony. The shining, blindingly bright monotony.
This build is crazy, and in all the best ways! Aurum’s wings are the the greatest part imo. The Cinderella wheel and HF flame pieces together are unbelievably cool and really nail the sunlight theme. Makes the creature seem like he’s bursting with life and energy.
The main suggestion I would make would be to move the Toa masks from the back of Corona’s knees to the sides of his lower arms, somehow. Seems like that would make his arms more solid and free up some more articulation in the knee, but it’s your MOC not mine.
Also, I have no idea what the curly, tentacle-like pieces poking out from underneath the skull armor parts on corona’s knees are, but they look amazing.
The pieces you are talking about came from an airship set from Lego Elves.
As for your suggestion, I tried doing that, but in return the masks hampered articulation in the arms . On top of this, it left just an unsightly gap in the golden armor at the back of the legs. If I had two of the golden skull villain masks, I would probably try and attach them to the arms.
THE GOLD BURNS MY EYES
I agree with what cronk said, it’s… a very gold MOC, and that was your intention, but the textures clashing makes it look like a bayformer
good work none the less, I applaud your determination to make the goldest MOC
