I do, it uses some technic and system though.

That’s probably fine

The mata hand can easily be switched out for a hordika neck or the like.








The silver CCBS shell is a stand.
If you need more pictures just ask.

That’s almost nearly the same skeleton I use for my matoran…

Must be a good design, then.

Yours is a bit longer though, I guess mocists think alike. I’v actually been wondering how you build your matoran.

It originally was the same height, but the wiggle of the chest armor bugged me a lot. This is only the basic skeleton, others deviate from it a bit, specifically Eric and Darren.

Can’t help you there, sorry.

how do i make a titan moc?

Can’t give you a detailed step by step build, but here are a few examples of how I did that. Maybe you can figure out something from them:

Dark Hunter Srac MOC:

Makuta Zhun MOC:

Makuta Furtaan WIP:

Although admittedly only Zhun actually uses the masks on his arms.

There isn’t necessarily one way or another to start when it comes to a titan; I would probably check out some other titan MOCs that people have made for inspiration. Other than that, you just have to kinda start trying different things.

This is a very effective strategy I use when I moc.

Here are all of the spheres in lego’s element catalog in LDD ordered by size.

Notice that near the middle of the line the spheres become more defined and clearer. Smaller spheres are molded in with prefab elements down to the tiny crown. Larger spheres become split into smaller shapes up to the huge glass one. This is the nature of lego.

Now a sphere is a constant. Every sphere is identical with the exception of scale.

So say I want to build this

I pick a sphere with a connection point on it somewhere and build with a larger one

Now what are the line of spheres used for? Many things. Pom poms, cherries, meteors, boulders, helmets, eyes. All of these spheres are interchangeable. So you could build insect eyes out of helmets for example.

Or if you wanted to build a really big insect you’d use larger spheres for eyes like the fruit tree near the rightmost side of the line.

This is the basis behind npu, scaling and figuring out shortcuts.
