With the announcement of the fanon contest for nidikhi I Began thinking of how to make a nidikhi for both Movie and set fans and thankfully with inspiration from Mobile suit gundam Iron Blooded orphans with the barbatos I got the answer
the Primary focus design with Nidikhi is to look both familiar but also different to how he his fellow teamates in the toa mangai. His air scythe is uses a rhoutka launcher similar to the one used on the takanuva moc i made a while back in toa nuva revamps + takanuva.
of corse the images so far with nidikhi have been him in pure green with no silver so i called this state unarmored and made the build to be able to equip an optional armor set as a personal headcanon. I do not believe nidikhi had silver armor at the start but instead got it as extra protection when he changed factions
this armored look is my best interpataiton of how he would’ve looked before mutation along with making sure it doesn’t effect poses
the only main concern is the shoulders yes these will have to be painted tho for those not willing to i do suggest nuva shoulders as an alternative.
The scale of this moc is within metru scale but slightly taller by using a base metru build for scale.
if you have any questions regarding the build feel free to ask and I will answer when possible
