This looks closer but I think the Makuta torso and Ehlek head still need to be slightly higher.
Edit after some fiddling: The Ehlek head is in the right place, if I put it any higher it looks wrong. I think I had it right the first time and I was just second-guessing myself.
Second edit: Here’s where I’m at right now. The parts in red are placeholders to hold the top and bottom together.

The Vahki heads can’t attach like that since there’s Bohrok eyes on top of them
I think they’re attached with these and a 3l axle

I can’t wait for the final version of this! I’ve enjoyed seeing you reconstruct this MOC.

Is this another Zaktan foot or is it something else?
My first thought was an Inika shoulderpad, but I think the holes on those are too big. Looks like there might be a 1x2 thin liftarm in there too.
Edit: It’s not a Zaktan foot, the hole is too far to the side. I wonder if it’s another Karzahni chestplate? The original set did have three of them.
Edit 2: This looks closer, but it also clips into the connectors that the Lewa arms are attached to.
Here’s what it looks like the other way up (and moved back a bit so as not to clip into the grey pieces)
Looking at the image again, I’m not sure this is right since the piston on the Phantoka torso looks to be visible though the gap.

man DuneToa actually managed to get a post into this two person convo
I love these goofy designs from the contest that never went anywhere; makes me nostalgic for the mocing of yesteryear when everything I made was utter garbage

Maybe track down Joshua Guthrie? See if he still has that creation built somewhere?

I did have a look at his BZPower page, but that says he was last online in 2012. It doesn’t appear to have any photos either, as far as I can see.
Update after combing through the blog section: It seems like he mainly uploaded photos to Majhost, in which case they probably no longer exist. According to BS01 the contest winners were shown in the May/June 2008 issue of Brickmaster. There are only a couple of entries from around then (the first entry he made was on the 28th of May), and none of them mention the contest as far as I can see.
I did also have a look at Brickshelf, but the inability to search by date and the fact that I don’t know his name on there (if he even was on there) meant that I didn’t find anything relevant.
On the subject of the build, does anyone know what’s going on with the head and neck? I can see the neck is a Metrutoran limb, and there’s a couple of those curved liftarms attached (I think) to the back of the head, but beyond that I’m unclear. I can’t tell if those are green Bohrok eyes inside the Kraahkan, or just a hand piece connected to the neck.
Update: I’ve managed to cobble together something that looks vaguely correct from the angle seen in the photo. This is probably at least partially wrong, but it’ll do until I have something more accurate.
Still not sure how the Antroz blades attach though. They almost look like they’re attached to the second connector behind the neck, but that would put them too far forwards and they also appear to be at an angle that wouldn’t work that way (the left one appears to be facing the camera directly despite the angle of the torso).

His name on there was the same as his Majhost one, though that still didn’t bring up anything related to this moc
As for the head, I’m not sure whether the quarter ellipse beams on the sides are the shorter 3x3 versions rather than the 3x6 ones you’ve got currently. Could just be the angle

What was it? Was it just greenbioguy or something else?
It looks to me like there are three pinholes in the middle of the piece rather than one.

Here’s a comparison between the recreation and the original photo. I can’t tell if the Kraahkan is flat dark gold or black, but it looks to be the same colour as the Vahki heads on the shoulders.

Yeah, that looks right
…though it does also bring to my attention that there’s nothing connected to the top axle hole of the liftarm, so the mask must be mounted some other way

That’s a fairly simple fix, since the axle holding the eyes and the ones attached to the neck connector should hold it stable enough.
I’m still not quite sure what’s going on here. There looks to be a piece that might have a bar hole at the back, roughly level with the Ehlek head at the front, but I’m unclear as to what. I don’t think it’s another Karzahni chestplate because I tried that earlier and couldn’t get it to look right.

The opening looks too square to be a bar hole to me…
Also just noticed this???
There’s some kind of black pieces inserted into the axle holes of the sockets either side of the Ehlek head. They may just be 2L axles but I can’t really tell

I could’ve sworn that I’ve seen a part that had more square bar holes before, but I don’t remember which one.
Could it be a pair of these pointing downwards?
4 Likes
I think just one. The axles seem to protrude beyond the piece, and I don’t really know how much clearance is back there

Taking a look below the Ehlek head, I think it’s more likely to be a pair of 1x2 liftarms, since that piece clips into the bottom pinhole of the Makuta torso.
Speaking of the Ehlek head, it also looks like it’s slightly too high on the chest.
5 Likes
I think it may be connected to the 1x2 liftarms you just added - wouldn’t the axle holes line up with ones in the Ehlek head?
On second glance, I think it’s already in the right place. A stud down would be too low. Maybe it’s just the angle of the photo making it look a bit offset
4 Likes
I’ll try it, but that might be too low.
I think it’s somehow between those two positions, possibly attached to an axle of some kind.
Maybe something like this? The connectors next to the green ones would probably be changed out for something else.

I think the first position still looks more correct. The only thing out of place is the distance between the rearmost fin and the Bohrok eyes, but I think that’s just an issue of perspective
Wait…
These allow connections between two standard axle attachment points
