Makuta and Ekimu were brothers. Everyone on Okoto knew this. But what few knew, was that there was a third brother. He was seldom seen, secluded in the jungles of Okoto away from all contact. His name was Artol.
Well. Here he is. I made this model about, 6 or 7 years ago, and he was always one of my favorites.
This model was dissasembled YEARS ago. I didn’t have enough parts for more than 8 or 9 toa sized figures back then, so i had to disassemble them frequently to make new ones. I tried to revamp him once, but it looked weird.
His waist is really weird, it gets massive and solid above the waist but is tiny below. Good idea, not the best waist. I like the use of the Barraki legs on the feet, they look awesome.
Yeah, my revamp tried to fix that, but it just looked weird. this was experiment in using the large technic turntables as a waist, and that was the only one that fit. also Barraki legs?
That’s not a barraki foot, though it i similar. Its the shoulder armor from Malum, which almost the same mold as kalmah’s feet, but with little side flanges. I could never figure which came first for years.
…That is Kalmah’s foot, the flanges are the difference between Hordika and Barraki, honest mistake though, Why are there so many rubber bands though?
Some of them were to hold the wings to his back, because the were supposed to be from some beast he hunted.The rest are the because i though the looked cool. That and i just got them so i wanted to try them out.
I don’t really see him looking like the Brother of Makuta and Ekimu. maybe if you scaled him down a bit to a size of a Okotan and use the same frame as Ekimu’s, I think it could work.
I made this before they had been revealed, and I had only seen the trailer. And nothing was given to scale them by. So I figured that, In true bionicle fashion, that they would be huge.
Wow. I did this when Bio G2 started. I am not a huge G2 fan. I enjoyed it, but there were a lot of things that could have been done better. G1 is still king.
