Verdes and Scraps

This is Verdes, Toa of air, and Scraps the robot.(i don't know why, but mata green comes out teal when I take pictures) Verdes is a huge toa of air so he's not like the other Toas of air. Because of this he's always felt like an outcast. This is probably why Scraps is his squire. Verdes found Scraps alone wandering the deserts of the west. Since Scraps is a robot he will never be a Toa, but he is loyal and has the spirit of one. Scraps is a medic and is constantly repairing Toa on the battlefield.

I tried to make him look a little on the large side

It was hard to make a mata green moc when all of my mata green is from lewa.

Better than some of your other MOCs, which isn't saying a lot.

That seems a little harsh.

I really like how Verdes is built. The custom body is a nifty design. Any chance you have a de-assembled view of it?

The only thing I'd perhaps change is the legs. They look fine, but I'm an articulation nut. If a bi/quadruped figure has moving elbows, I want to see moving knees. Moving knees, I want to see moving elbows.

Not much to say on Scraps, other than he's a cute lil fella.

DraikNova, if you're going to criticise, then please criticise constructively, rather than resorting to insults. Thanks.

I'll post a de-assembled view soon

I didn't say I didn't like this MOC. Anyway, I like Scraps the best. His name makes him sound like a robot puppy dog.

I really like your style-- very scratchy but overall a cohesive look. Verdes has a great body construction. I'm not sure if the HF armor works here, it's a little simple, I'd like to see more machinery on the arms. Great work, though!

Scraps looks like he was basically made from scraps, which is great. Seems like he can get around easily on that light frame; maybe a rear wheel to help him turn? You did well with the parts you had on both of these characters.

KUTGW! :)
