I’m still waiting on Ryo, so for now it’s being piloted by this gentleman in a striped jumper, who I’m sure is perfectly morally upstanding.
As you’ve probably noticed I had to slice and dice the sticker sheet a little in light of the new shin armour. Luckily I won’t need to do the same for my planned Sentry revamp-- although I will need two sticker sheets for that one, again because of the legs.
That was actually the seed part for this whole build-- I’d ordered some in keet orange from bricklink as part of my Bad Guy revamp and one of the sellers sent them in orange. I figured I may as well use them, and eventually figured they’d work as the shins for an uplink revamp.
The two series I want back the most, (Aside from Bionicle and possibly HF) Mars mission and Exo force. I like the leg designs here. I guess a use for those hockey helmets does exist.
I really love how you seamlessly blended the shin parts into the revamp. Well done to you and the innocent civilian that volunteered for such a job. I’m sure he doesn’t have any ulterior motives.
Cool stuff here! People have already commented on how cool the legs are, but on top of that I really like the posing. There’s a lot of attitude there that helps sell the build.
Thanks! I’ve been meaning to go back and make a few adjustments to fine-tune the proportions, but honestly they’ll probably wait until I eventually get the parts to actually physically build him.
that’s a ways off, though. next month is gonna be kopeke, nuparu and a small mech. Month after will be Sentry (to go with Uplink) and probably a couple more matoran; maybe Macku and Hewkii at last.
