Shakar Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Very nice! I like the colours you chose, and the skeleton is well put together. I'd make the legs slightly longer however.. Quote

I've tried that, but any armour I have would make his legs too skinny. I like these stubby legs, they suit the cartoony buff guy stereotype :P Quote
Jetrax99 Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Why do I get the feeling I've seen this before? Quote
Logan McOwen Posted May 21, 2012 Author Posted May 21, 2012 Why do I get the feeling I've seen this before? Because you have! What you see here is the original Arnold Stronghold, which was a combination of my MOCs of Breez and Nex. The OP just shows a revamp of the combo. Quote

Takua Nui Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Holy sh...nitzel. That is quite a creative skeleton you've assembled. It looks much better than the Ultrabuild Hulk design. And he's green. Green is amazing. I personally would've made the legs longer. Quote
Cirkit Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Hey, it's Arnold! :D I remember the combo from the other thread, and the image a few posts up helps too. In terms of color Arnold hasn't changed much. While I miss the white armor on his lower arms, the lack of it on the revamp makes him look more.. solid, consistent. The white head/core is sort of like a neutral zone, keeping balance between the lime and orange, rather like that. I see you've replaced the new Zamor meteor blaster from Breez with a shoulder-mounted Midak, nice change I think, keeps his hands open for fighting or holding an oily beverage or whatever robot hands are supposed to do. Those fins/wind flaps (the blade-type pieces) look cool on the back, though I can't imagine their purpose. Maybe part of a jet pack, or something to help him speed up/stop quick? All up to the imagination for now. I have but one complaint. The length of the legs bothers me a tiny bit. The way they are now make Arnold look apelike, long arms and short legs, and to me makes that crotch plate(nice use of the part, btw) look gigantic. However I did read the comment a few before mine, and completely understand. Stronghold is meant to look bulky, and if the legs are too long they'll look too skinny against the bulk, and ruin the flow. I'd recommend picking up the Voltix set when it comes out, so you can use the special new armor piece that fits on top the cladding for Arnold's lower legs. That way if you increase the length of the lower leg it won't look so stretched. :) Geez I talk waaay too much. I really like the revamp, looks great. Can't wait for that backstory! Quote
