this is almost 100% a combination model of Krekka and Nidhiki
a few pieces out of my own collection were added to build the other arm the actual moc lacks.
I will give credit to the youtuber known as TheShadowedOne1 for providing some excelent design ideas. the chestpiece and the head. the actual lariska moc has an improved version of the mechanical arm with an actual gear function.
using the rubber band of Krekka I made a springloaded arm that will collapse the arm. pushing the lever at the elbow will swing the arm outward. using a bohrok tooth the arm can lock itself in place stretched out.
lariska can hold a total of 5 daggers on her person. 4 on the hips and 1 on the arm. by removing the lower finger of each hand lariska can hold a dagger. place the black pin on the back of her mechanical shoulder.
more like needed to jump better. lariska was known to suffer when standing still. whatever species she is or wherever she came from. not moving was a death sentence. it is why I love the sideward eyes. prey animals have the eyes at the side of their heads. to better see incoming threats. the legs don’t really need that much stability. the ball and soccet joints are still pretty sturdy. it was meant to add to the constantly moving and jumping nature of the character. like the feet were meant to look like she was standing on her toes.
Very cool! We never did get a combiner of just those two, and while this may use a couple extra parts it looks really good. Captures the 2004 aesthetic well, and I love mocs with action features, like here with the gears moving the arm.
I had in the past few months added two length 4 pins in the sides of the silver chest area and connected them to the green back piece.
I hope this breakdown of the abdomen and how the upper and lower torso connect helps you.
