Makuta Icarax ldraw Model

Something else I was working on. I build Makuta Icarax from pieces derived from ldraw and brickshelf. I modeled Icarax’s rotator shield, rib cage and wings since I couldn’t find them in ldraw or brickshelf. Shield isn’t all modeled well and the wings as well.
It was fun building Icarax digitally, but also tedious as well since I had to re-read Icarax’s instruction manual online. Rigging Icarax with an armature was a little tricky because of his leg piston thing and his wings.

My only complaint is that the blades on the shield seem a little too big, but this is pretty good nevertheless

The shield blades do need work but other than that it looks as good as the original, do you use custom hands or did you model them yourself?

Impressive, even looks a bit better than the original model.

Thank you. I’ll make the shield blades a little bit smaller.

Thank you. The hand model was from brickshelf.

Thanks! :slight_smile: I made Icarax arms symmetrical to pose the armature a little bit easier.
