An aquatic fellow who’s mostly yellow. In fact his name is the Maori word for yellow.
The mask is 3D printed from Shapeways. It’s supposed to be a Pridak variant. But as soon as I bought it I knew I was going to paint it yellow and make it a new character.
There are two other 3D printed parts on his back holding the fins.
The shin armor is from a Bionicle copycat brand called Masters of Disaster. The set is so rough I couldn’t even build the figure. But it has some really cool parts like those.
Very nice! I too like to use 3d printed parts, but I haven’t tried painting them yet. I especially like those bootleg parts, been considering picking them up, but haven’t so as to not taint my pure Bionicle bin kappapride. Those hands look very nice as well, I haven’t strayed from the classic and glatorian hands myself, but I do very much so like the look of those claws!
I like the bold colour scheme. Although I’m pretty sure Kowhai means yellow in Maori, whereas punga is a type of palm. but it’s fine, I like the spikes and fins everywhere, really gives it a aquatic feel.
