Hello, hoping someone might be able to help out. I came across the prototype 2003 Makuta photos that surfaced a few months back: (File:Makutaproto1.jpg - BIONICLEsector01) and got inspired to rebuild it. I saw that someone made a stud.io replica, but I’m absolutely stumped on the inner torso build. I’ve managed to figure out the lower torso, legs, and shoulders, but I have no idea how the shoudlers attach, or what the piece I circled is:
If anyone knows what this piece is, or if there are instructions for the model, I’d appreciate the help. Want to make sure I know which pieces I need to order from Bricklink. Thanks!
Alright, got this much so far. Don’t have any rahkshi necks right now so I used the torso section to approximate it. I think I understand how to connect the back to the chest section, so I’m gonna go ahead and order the pieces. I’ll post some instructions here when I get him finished up. Gotta say, I like this alot more that the version we got.
I’d argue that the Pakari Nuva mask was also the one the movie design was based of, this is most noticeable if you look at the stud.io render of the model as the normal Pakari messes with the shaping of the movie mask a bit, now I haven’t tried putting a pakari nuva in its place however I do feel that the shaping especially looking at the eyebrows suggests that it was in fact the Pakari Nuva that was used
Ok i know im a little late to the party but just saw this vid today then was looking around and found your post and thouht i would help now this isnt really instructions but thought it might help you out a little bit if u start it from 3:48
