I’m still not ready to enter this Tuyet into the contest, but I thought I’d post it in its own topic to get some feedback and opinions. I’ve been tinkering with the design for a couple of months and am open to changes.
Overall, I wanted Tuyet to be kinda lanky to contrast with the power she gains with the nui stone. In terms of parts, I thought that since Tuyet didn’t appear in the story until 007, she would realistically have used 2007 parts if she had been given a set. So I mixed 2004 and 2007 parts for armor. I may replace the barbed broadsword with my own model, but for now it is brick built. all the part colors are available in real life, except for the mask of course.
Yeah, it’s a little strange, but it’s tough to connect to the custom torso based around hero factory 1.0 arms without making them too wide or limiting articulation.
Normally, I would be against swords composed of many pieces because of how bulky they are compared to how a sword should be, but this one has the shape I’m expecting from Tuyet’s barbed broadsword. This is by far the best non 3D printed one I have seen until now. Good luck in the contest!
Btw, if you replace this sword with a 3D print, try to keep a similar shape, this sword really works as the BB.
Thanks, I went through a lot of variations before I got to this point. It was a lot bulkier before. I’ll keep that in mind and maybe I’ll end up keeping this brick built sword.
Thanks, I’m looking forward to seeing more non-metru after the hagah contest. I don’t want those metru torsos to become more rare than they are already are becoming.
