"Makuta Building Contest" W.I.P.s and Finished Creations Topic

Ah fair enough

yeah much better

Way better, would like to see how will it look with those big 2-fingered piraka feet.

So i’ve run into a problem with my wip and i need help from you guys and gals. My problem is that the waist part on my makuta can be posed in two different ways and i do not know if the legs will drag it out so that it is extended all the time if i make them too heavy. The other problem is that i do not know which looks better. If you would look at these pictures and help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

Non-extended waist

Extended waist

it is probably a good idea to mention that the waist is connected with the rest of the torso by four of the smallest ccbs bones

The small scythe looks kind of ridiculous in his enormous hands.

Though I will say the colors are consistent.

The first fits in a lot better with the sleekness and third piston add on.

And I really love that silhouette! It’s very powerful, yet regal at the same time. The Cape perfects it.

@WinterQueen Thank you :smiley:
I hope that The MoC will make him look even better.

From what I can see, the mask will fit perfect! The curvature even fits the added wing pieces.

Wat did you use for the cape?

@WinterQueen I’ve just looked up ur Makuta, i love the lower legs,
And leg armor being placed “layer by layer”

Oh thank you! I’ve actually had to redesign the lower legs since then, since as they were foot articulation was none-existent, but I think I managed to keep a similar look. I’ll be posting pics once I have my table cleared off!

I can also see you took some inspiration from the designers video models.

Somewhat? I wasn’t looking at pictures during the process, but subconsciously I might’very taken a couple cues? A lot of this was just put together in the moment though, especially where the chest is concerned. And elements like the gold were carried over from his Mask Maker form. The black and red color scheme is also taken from that little snippet of him we have from the Web animations.

Still, i really do like your Makuta, waiting for you to clean your table :wink:
