I recently got my hands on a titan takanuva. I like his gold og color scheme though, and feel inspired to modify his color scheme with different colored parts. What strikes me as most difficult is repainting his gunmetal parts into gold. Any tips for painting bionicle pieces?

Did you use a primer?

I have no experience with painting lego pieces but I’ve read that it’s a it’s a good idea to lay down a primer layer first

Well, for starters, you’ve got an hf piece up front there, so that definitely doesn’t belong with that set, not sure if you’re aware. I personally would ask that you don’t paint bionicle pieces, they are only going to become more rare as time goes on, unless someone convinces lego to do a complete reprint of the entire line. So all I can ask is this: whatever you do to your parts, please make sure it can be undone in the future.

I’d agree that you should definitely paint less rare pieces if you can - I’d especially recommend getting some regular Takadox heads and painting those instead of sacrificing the coveted gunmetal ones.

I don’t suppose there are parts I could find on shapeways? That way I’m not painting over an official piece.

Wow, that is expensive. I already paid $100 for takanuva.

@Atobe_Brick Hm, guess I’ll start there

My Bio-Cup entry so far, a portal which will have 5 aliens with the skrall sword as faces, peering in, with one grasping the rim of the portal.

Thoughts? (Edit) Like, I’m not sure if I should change the aliens to a more contrasting colour, make the portal background red…etc. :stuck_out_tongue: Idk lol

The wand connection is pretty fragile. I would recommend using the old school minifig screwdriver instead as the handle is thicker and provides more stability.

That’s exactly what I’m looking for. The screwdriver is the perfect part. Thank you.
