HowTo: MOC Tutorials

Alright, as promised, the tutorial for the head I used for my Artakha:

Since I’d like to keep it short here - check out my Artakha’s topic for different angles, which might be important to get the outer assembly right.

Parts list:


Plus you also need two of those scythe pieces from Ninjago in gold (couldn’t find them in LDD)

Let’s start with the core head construction (the red bars are there to tell the different views apart):

Next comes the core head block construction:

Finished head block (note that the angles of those large barbs are not perfect, since it should get the point across, I don’t feel like fiddling endlessly with LDD):

Now only the addons are missing:

It should be fairly straightforward how to attach them - refer to the very first picture or my Artakha topic. Note that it might be a little finicky to get the angles and stuff just right so that no parts are under stress. For example the bars are not always pushed all the way into whatever holds them. Also, as said, the Ninjago scythes are missing here.

(I would like to note here, too, though, that the top construction stays in place no problem, but is not as stable as my usual custom heads. If for example the MOC falls over, the top parts will likely fall off/be bent out of shape.)

Otherwise, feel free to use!
