To build this I used my original entry in the first TTV Canonisation Contest as a base and adapted it to look more like the entry that had won the contest. I didn’t want it to look like the official MOC just with a few fixes, I wanted it to have the key elements of that one, but still be its own thing. I also tried to keep the distribution of blue elements the same.
Here’s a comparison of this MOC with the canon Helryx (on the left) and with my original entry (on the right)
I’d say this a definite improvement over your first Helryx moc. I’m not sure if I like it as much as the winning moc, but I wouldn’t have been upset if this had won instead.
Oh no I meant the piece with the spring. But i guess that was an official LEGO piece after after all. I just had a bunch of those spring pieces from a bulk mega blocks pieces bag that I got as a kid. So they just stood out to me.
