@Monopoly in all honesty the staff was something of an afterthought-- I only got the head to meet the minimum buy on a BL store. I tried it out with a 5l, but it ended up looking slightly too long and didn’t make for a good natural mctoran-y standing pose. That said I agree that the 4 isn’t quite right either. (I’m probably just gonna display him without the staff. Or… Maybe with a lightstone or something.)
I guess ideally I’d use a smaller head than the actual chronicler’s staff piece to keep things more in scale with the rest of the build, but nothing else I tried really had the right feel to it.
@Biodude15 hey, thanks! Given that I was aiming for a slightly more 3d mctoran with a little added articulation with these two, that’s quite the complement.
@meepinater I plan to, but not for a couple months.
That said if you’ve an itch to see more, I’ve the exploded view up there that hopefully gives a good indication of how the build comes together-- feel free to drop me a message if you need any more detailed breakdowns.
I like what you got going on with your kopaka, expecially the storage of the skis and how the legs are built though it would look cleaner without the red axels sticking out everywhere.
@meepinater I think of them less as chibi and more as a mctoran-style build akin to their appearances in the old mata nui online game-- that said the proportions there are definitely pretty chibi, so I guess make what you will of that. I’m technically on mocpages, but still setting stuff up how I want it. Given that I’ve a bunch of system MOCs I’ve been meaning to post somewhere I’ll probably finish getting things together there sooner or later.
@Tributron hey, thanks! Kopaka has his own thread kicking about somewhere if you wanna see more of him. I’m well aware that I’m in the minority on this, but I’m one of those freaks who doesn’t mind the red axles and blue pins on an aesthetic level.
