It utilizes a pin internally to slow down the gear function, allowing posability while retaining gear function. This may depend on the friction of your pieces, but for my parts it works without flaw.
The colour scheme is nice. the hands are a bit simple, but they work. my main gripe is that the model doesn’t look particularly feminine. i know, it’s hard to make a moc that’s clearly female without pulling a Roodaka on us, but maybe try making the shoulders more narrow?
Thats a good point to get in the open though, I’d be willing to have that be one of the points I’d lose on if people want her to be thin and overly shaped
I’m not a huge fan of Gunmetal Tuyet in general, but I really like this build. The armour looks really solid, especially in the shoulder/chest region. I also like the way that all of the gunmetal seems to be “connected” (except for the feet).
I greatly prefer the gunmetal mask for this MOC over blue:
I find that her eyes “pop” a bit more, and it adds to the gunmetal block on her torso.
To that effect, have you considered making the feet blue, and keeping all the gunmetal in that one block? I, personally, think that would look a lot better.
Personally I think a blue mask would look a better. A gunmetal mask might make it so that there’s too much gunmetal. Additionally, it could take away from the “Roman Emperor” since Roman emperors are more commonly depicted without a helmet.
Anyway, you’ve heard most of my thoughts on the moc before, so I won’t repeat myself here. Still looks good!
I would go with blue mask and blue feet. It would avoid her looking too much like a Hagah. I like the gunmetal armor, though, it’s more unique than silver. A shade of gold could work, too, of you have all the parts in that color.
Eh, Jovan and Krakua can be confused for earth, and Hahli Inika can be confused for lightning. To some it may matter, I suppose, but in-universe, it doesn’t seem a big deal.
