Hello all.
To somewhat honor my re-entry into the word of Bionicle thanks to the TTV crew, I decided to make a MOC out of 2 of the cast members: Mesonak and Eljay. I’m redesigning Eljay’s torso and arms, but I do have Mesonak finished:
I do have building instructions if anyone wants to make this MOC themselves. The legs are a little hindered due to their design, but I feel as if I did a decent job portraying ol’ Meso over here.
Close up shot of his back:
I really like this; thanks a ton! The build is quite complex and unorthodox (those hands tho), but it still manages to evoke the typical “Meso” style in a way that feels familiar to me, but fresh at the same time. The shoulders are my favorite part, hands down. I’d be quite curious to see how those were built.
The lower legs perturb me slightly because of the open ball joints, but it’s not that noticeable from most of the photos you took so I don’t really find myself caring all that much.
Yes, I tried figuring out a sleek way of covering up the open ball joints on the legs, but I couldn’t find any that would keep the leg’s shape.
Also, for the shoulders… (Image dump ahead)
