Might be able to use some of this part with these on the ends to make a simple ankle connection.
As for filling the space inside, I don’t actually own the piece either, so I can’t say for certain what’s going to fill the space. However, you could probably stack some bricks in there and use a round plate at the bottom. The bricks inside could be a variety of colors or they could be clip bricks that hold those lightning bolts you mentioned.
Let me know if this helps.
Bit delayed, but try putting a regular 2.0 Hero foot on the back like the Breakout heroes. Alternatively, you can try using some stud pegs in the upper holes and build something out of bricks.
What kind of look are you going for, exactly?
i actually figured it out before your replied lol, i just put a HF foot on the back so the ball on the torso met the socket on the foot. i spent like 3 hours trying to armor the back and was immensely disappointed in myself when i figured out that i could have just attached a foot and called it a day
edit: I don’t want to double post so here we go. yes it’s another torso. how would i attach a socket neck instead of the ball neck on this piece, then armor it? i’m thinking the connection uses the top middle axle hole near the neck.
hey need some big help with making a torso. working on making an elemental lord of gravity and he has 4 LEGO Gear Rack 11 x 11 Quarter Circle making an orbit around his body giving it a ring/event horizon look(like one seen around planets or black holes) and im planning on having it spin, but im having it at an angle. heres an image of what I got so far. I need some suggestions on how to make the upper torso part to look somewhat like a normal body with all this(even if I have to modify the axis that holds it together
do you care about how awkward it is?
are u asking me or to xthekitsune
A limb extender, Part 98565, on a ball joint on the middle axle hole should be enough to put a socket right at the level of the neck ball, though it’ll stick forward a bit much. You can then potentially armor it with a CCBS torso armor on another ball joint on the lower axle hole. That is a bit of an awkward part and it’ll probably take some fiddling with your available parts to find something that works.
@Kamoranova5 It might be easier to put the middle strut horizontal, and potentially multitask it to serve as the shoulders as well.
EDITED FOR DOUBLE POSTING - Spiderus Prime
This looks both massively overcomplicated as well as physically impossible. If built in real life the ring would fall right off the gears as there’s literally nothing holding it in place.
The support strut could absolutely be significantly simplified and slimmed down, and should definitely have brackets added to support the ring
asking @anon69095387
The hailfire droid technic set has an excellent example of this
@kawaii_kitten i don’t care as long as it puts a socket at the ball joint on the neck, i’m good
edit: ok last question for now i promise
How do I give a vahki/vortixx head a socket connection without using part 98565?
While building, have you ever found pieces that fit together so perfectly, you’d believe they were made for each other - despite that most likely not being the case? Here’s two examples to illustrate what I mean.
First off, this System mech armor piece (introduced for Ninjago in 2022) can be attached perfectly onto a Rahkshi leg with 2 halfpins. The armor was made over a decade after the Rahkshi leg was last used in a set.
This next one is a similar case, with the 2015 Bionicle Toa armor piece fitting nicely onto a Piraka leg. This time you don’t even need any pins, it slots directly onto the 3.18mm hole on the leg.
Both are very snug connections, they don’t wobble but don’t stress the pieces either. Do you know any other unexpected perfect connections like this?
i’ve used that one! i was making a ‘g2 takanuva’ about 4 years ago, and I found that through trial and error
Need some suggestions from those of you who have more experience working with brick Lego rather than technic or bionicle lego. I’m working on creating the serpentine generals(not minifigures) where once finished one can in a sense recreate Ninjago scene with larger ninja figures(if one were to follow the same trend as the giant stone warrior build for ninja to make them to scale) but adding fingers on them and all that. The heads necks arms and tails I’m good at figuring out but need some help in figuring out a good way to make the part of the body that connects the whole ting(gonna try and make it able to bend on a ball joint for as max range of movement so one could essentially have them coil around other mocs. Can I have a hand?
It might be easier to get help on a particular MOC if you show what you have built first so people have a general idea of the scale.
I need help! I have a Bionicle identity crisis! I think I should build a self-MOC, but I don’t have the parts I need! The only things I have that have some relation to what my self MOC should look like are my profile picture
and this drawing:
What do you think? I need your help!
You could build digitally with stud.io
I didn’t think of stud.io. I will try it out soon! Thanks for the idea.
I love your self MOC btw. The bladed wings are radical, and the color scheme of silver, trans light blue, and bark blue is very unique and eye-catching!
