Mine’s practically done.

ThatchMac · July 25, 2016, 4:16pm

Looks good! This part is VASTLY different from mine. My recommendation would be to add some half stud pins, and throw on some flat system panels to cover up that technic beam.

ComradeWolfie · July 25, 2016, 4:17pm

Alright, will give it a try.

Sabretooth · July 25, 2016, 4:55pm

Holy cow that’s awesome! It’s so sleek.

@Sabretooth, @MakutaTexxidos, @ThatchMac, @Apophyx, @Omega_Tahu, @Deathworks235

Thanks for the encouragement and constructive criticism!

However, I think that I’m going to keep building what I am truly good at… and make a shameless plug about it…

Altair's Mixels MOCs: Twilight Catcher! Lego Creations

Oh, gosh, after posting that Makuta MOC (which, if you read the post, you’d know I didn’t really like) I can finally sit back and talk about what I can do really well (A.k.a my Mixels MOCs)! This time around we’re going to take a look at a very particular kind of creature, the Twilight Catcher! [image] This creation, as always, is made out of six Mixel characters, in this case the Orbitons snd the Glowkies, both from series 4. [image] [image] Twilight Catchers are very unique animals that live in the frontier between light and darkness, day and night, life and death. Those ghostly creatures inhabit the ponds close to a huge pine forest in the northern wastelands, and if you are foolish enough to find yourself in this area during the day, you would only find their withered bones s…

Are you still going to enter you’re Makuta?

Altair · July 25, 2016, 5:13pm

Oh of course, it’s pretty much done so why not?

Chilly · July 25, 2016, 5:14pm

Doesn’t that count as an advertisement?

ThatchMac · July 25, 2016, 5:15pm

Good, I’d hate to see sucha solid MOC go un-noticed by the Lego team. I’m still a little cautious to show mine, I dunno should I post it? I don’t want some of my ideas to get stolen.

Altair · July 25, 2016, 5:15pm

I dunno, I’ve always done it and at the moment no moderator has said anything, so…

ThatchMac · July 25, 2016, 5:17pm

Still debating if I should post the photos. But I would remove the link, better safe than sorry.

Altair · July 25, 2016, 5:20pm

I mean, people could “steal” your ideas when you post the pictures in the actual contest anyway, so I don’t see any problems in posting them here.

ChaosAssassin · July 25, 2016, 5:21pm

True.

ThatchMac · July 25, 2016, 5:29pm

Ok, after some internal fighting with myself, I’ve desided to post my Makuta. He’s still heavily a WIP, almost nothing is final. Keep in mind I am not with the Makuta at the moment I Encourage constructive criticism. OK breath let’s go.

The blue bal will be purple in the final model. Two alternate upper arm designs. Which do you prefer?

Second arm design on Makuta. The first is above.

I might post a few prototype weopon designs later, for now, a wing design that is almost destined to change.

He’s too big for my studio. What do you guys think of the MOC? Any tips?

ChaosAssassin · July 25, 2016, 5:31pm

Looks amazing!

ComradeWolfie · July 25, 2016, 5:33pm

Looks really good, just seemed a bit thin in some areas. But since it’s a WIP, it’s to be expected. Looks promising

ThatchMac · July 25, 2016, 5:35pm

Can you please tell me what area those are? Also, which arm design do you prefer guys I really need to know because I can’t decide. Do you like the paneled one, or the spike one?

Leoxander · July 25, 2016, 5:36pm

I’m really liking everything I’ve seen on this topic.

ThatchMac · July 25, 2016, 5:46pm

Do you have a more clear photo?

ComradeWolfie · July 25, 2016, 5:48pm

Around the knee point, behind the shadow trap halves for one. A maybe around the sides, though that’s a fault of the skull/beast ribcage.

As for the shoulder design, I prefer the one with the Earth Protector mask. Spikes are always a win
