Takanuva MOC

I created MOC based on 2008 Takanuva’s design to express his appearance in The Kingdom and Dark Mirror.

As you know, his armor is all painted. i think gunmetal color suits him.

Power Lance was described as a twin-bladed Lance in Kingdom
but I ended up making it a reduce version of set.

In fact, it is not generally possible to make.
I used a broken axle to make a 3.5 length axle and use it as his neck.
If you use metru head and raise ball socket on his neck by one stud, you can make it without broken axle

With grim resolve, he resumed his journey to Karda Nui.

How did you break a half-unit off of an axle? I’d just cut it.

Really like this, especially that shoulder design, it’s one of my favorites, since I don’t have a lot of standalone balljoints for custom torsos. The weapon seems a bit large as well, but otherwise this is a great MOC. It reminds me of a set, while still being mostly custom.

Originally I had 12L axle.
and I accidentally stepped on it… :sob:

so I decided to just cut it off.

put in three 1 stud bushes, put in one 1/2 bush, and- cut

well, tbh, No need to create a 3.5L axle . I just chose it to make his proportion look better.

Maybe because of Avohkii’s design, his neck looks too short if using 3L axle.

other Kanohi looks fine.

looks like Tamiya gunmetal, also it seems that it was airbrushed on.

Well done!
