I finally got around to making my G2 Kahu from ages ago. He’s missing a few parts though. Some are inconsequential, but the one I need the most is that black gear on his pelvis. I ordered it from Lego, but these photos are from before then.
Understandable. The original intention was to go solid purple all throughout, but I didn’t have purple shells larger than size 4 to cover all the space the wings had. The Dark Azure breaks a bit of the monotony of the colors and makes the wings pop like how a bird with that kind of sexual dimorphism does in my eyes.
The wings are great and I quite like the color scheme, I just feel that the blue should be better distributed across the legs and torso. Still, this is a great MOC.
Purple and blue is actually a pretty cool color scheme in person, especially if a MoC is primarily built around their translucent counterparts. It gives them more of a ghostly etherial look, and the fact that it’s not as common really adds an extra layer of uniqueness to the creation.
Granted, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but having previously built a figure using it myself that I ended up fairly happy with, I’d certainly recommend giving it a shot, if only as a small step outside of one’s comfort zone.
