Description Hey guys, if you've been keeping up on my DA, you know I've been doing a lot of 3D modeling lately. And I thought it was about time I get some of those for myself (and my friend Llortor ). From left to right:

Kanohi Kihore . This mask was a commission from Llortor and probably the most complicated design I've done yet. I love how it turned out though (seriously, click that link to check out the render). The mask was designed to be more titan-scale like the Olmak, but as I was getting ready to photograph I thought it would be funny to have it on a little Tiki Matoran

Eltanin's Kanohi Pakari . Another project for Llortor that I've been working on for a while. Finally, I got that G2 connection worked out.

Mask of Mutation . Another commission from BrianK2355 that I had a lot of fun doing. The mask was designed like the Kanohi Kraahkan with two faces, and I just had to try the top face as a replacement for Virse's Zesk helmet.

Inorganic Kanohi Calix . With any luck, you'll be seeing more of this mask soon. The red one was purely for tradition's sake, but the green is intended for Onuku's teammate Boju . For now, Toa Kaon  was a good stand in.

Custom Bionicle Lower Leg , by PunkDrunk-182 . This is the only design here that isn't mine, but that of an awesome designer I really look up to. You guys should all go check him out on Shapeways or here on DA . The design seemed a good replacement for the Piraka shins that I always thought were too bulky for Kopen.

The Mask of Mutation looks sooo nice in its proper red. I'm kicking myself for having bought it in orange.
Really liking the Calix as well.
EDIT: Whops, I forgot I already commented here lol.

I finally get to see your Calix in person, and it looks so nice! I've had my eyes on it for a while and I may get it in my next Shapeways order. It's impressing how you managed to take a post-2002 Mask design (2003 was one of the big shifts in Kanohi designs, I think) and smoothly translate it into an authentic 2001-esque design. It seriously looks like a Mask a Toa Mata or a Turaga in 2001 could've worn.

Thank you! I was rather proud of how it came out. I do need to adjust the axle a little though...

I see, is it too loose or too tight, or something else? My next Shapeways order might be for Christmas, or when Shapeways allows for free shipping (12 Euro wasted on shipping is something I'd like to avoid if given the chance).

It's a little too tight, but I'll have the fixed model up long before then. I know how Shapeways shipping to Europe can be awful.

LordSaga In reply to 0nuku [2017-11-01 16:25:49 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. I don't get why Germany gets the slower 4 Euro shipping whereas Italy and the rest of Europe only get the 12 Euro option. Now that I think of it, last year Shapeways held a 25% Christmas discount, so that would be all the more reason to get some stuff I've wanted for a while.

I'm going check again during December to see if you've fixed it, though then again tightness isn't a huge problem. I think looseness is generally a bigger problem with masks.

Cool! I guess I'll just wait for that shipping promotion and then get one!

One day I should get the Eltanin's mask of yours. Probably your best design.

Aww thanks, it'd be an honor to get an order from you.

Idk how I feel about those golden shoulders, the colors seem off

Yeah, they're knockoffs. I kind of like the warmer hues though.

THOSE LOWER LEGS
I NEED THEM.

How do they work?
too loose?
too tight?
how's the durability?

0nuku In reply to Makuta-Trixaan [2017-10-28 04:19:54 +0000 UTC]

Actually, they're almost perfect. I don't think they'd have friction for a titan sized MOC, but otherwise they're great. And I've never broken a piece from Shapeways, and these seem especially well made, so I wouldn't be worried

I must get some myself.

Kihore and Mask of mutation designs are too awesome! Keep up the good work! I'm a big fan. Cheers to more designs! Thanks for the mention as well!

Hey, thanks, and thanks for the awesome leg parts! You nailed the size of the ball joints, probably the best ones I've seen yet! They are a tiny bit on the looser side, but unless you're supporting a titan sized build they should be fine. Pin and bar holes on the fromt could use a little more width to them. I could fit pins in, but only with a good bit of force.

Oh, and did you get the invite to Mask Makers?

Nope, no invite received. Is it here in DA?

Just sent another one.

Hmm I can't seem to find the invite. Is the DA mobile app at fault? I'll try checking it out with a PC later. Many thanks for the invite by the way. I'm really happy to be part of your group. It sounds very promising.

That is odd... might be mobile. Is there a "Join Group" button on the group page?

BTW, is anything too loose or too tight with the legs?

the white bg makes it hard to see, but neat designs
