Opening up 2016 with a bang. We’ve got Ventum V9. Probably the best Ventum yet. I really like how this one turned out. This version of Ventum was made because I wasn’t satisfied with how V8 turned out. I thought I could have made it better. Friends nudged me to make a V9. Thus, here we are.
This version of Ventum is a “reboot” of the original character. He’s got a completely new role, personality, and look. An example of this is that he’s an Antagonist to Kolk.
Still think the axe looks like a scythe but it’s still cool nonetheless.
If I had to recommend anything, I’d say that the shoulders would be better off white or Metru red, since black’s more of an underlying highlight on the rest of the MOC.
I wanted to make them white, but I sadly only have 1 white Rahkshi head, and that’s being used on Kolk’s helmet. Eventually I’ll be sure to swap them out though.
Just about everything on the MOC looks fantastic, from the Feet to the Head. The only thing I’m not a huge fan of are the grill pieces on the back of the hands, but that’s just a minor nitpick.
The cape just makes it for me. Not sure about the feet (the CCBS piece sloping the way it does bothers me) but I can’t complain. The axe design is wizard.
Ventum v9, the Imperial axetrooper. Cuz the colors. No complaint it looks amazing, and the metru red is just like yes. The shoulders kind of bother me tho…
###Thank you for all the comments everyone! I greatly appreciate them! ^^
Yeah, that bothers me too. But I lack smooth 1x2 white tiles, so I felt like I’d rather put that on then leave the studs open. I dunno, but I’ll be sure to look into fixing it in the future.
Well, I can see why it would bother you. There’s a bit of a gap from the shell to the ankle joint, and it can look weird depending on how you see it. So I wouldn’t go writing off your opinion.
As stated in an earlier post, I do plan to fix these as soon as I can ^^
To be quite honest with you, and anyone else reading this, I hate V8 and think it’s the worst Ventum.
