In my defense, a lot of the crap on the visor was there beforehand (which is why I painted it instead of one of my others).
Aside from that, it looks much better in hand.

He's raises a good question though.

Why?

Doing it for its own sake seems kinda pointless, and you cant use them on a regular builds any more because they would look really jarring and out of place. Not that you've done a bad job or anything, just curious is all.

You should really give your heresy purpose. It makes it significantly more appreciable. They look real nice you should set up a sickfuck display case for them or something and hang em on a wall.

>Doing it for its own sake seems kinda pointless
Eh, I guess I'm doing it to make the masks "fit" better.

Pohatu's kakama is weathered from front-to-back because of the fast.

Tahu's hau has mottled paint and pitting from constant heating and reheating.

Onua's pakari is almost worn down to base metal from the constant digging and abrasion, and has exhaust residue around the "vents."

Kopaka's akaku is primarily weatherworn.

Lewa's miru is leaf-splattered.

Gali's kaukau is boring because whenever i try to paint kaukaus in more than one color it turns out horribly.

>sickfuck display
I have a sort of "mask tree" going because I can't find any of my Suvae, but it doesn't photograph well. (mostly because none of the masks have painted backs)

Seen it a million times, still gud m8. Jungle vibe is nice and nostalgic (for 2001/2002 I mean).

Could have used a darker blue, also some greenish residue would really drive home the aquatic feel.

Look into weathering powders or washes for your exhaust, it looks a thousand times better than trying to paint it on.

I KNOWWW AND IT DRIVES ME CRAZY.
Like, the satin finish looks nice under soft light, but once the photography lamp goes on, the illusion of heat-stressed metal dies. I could probably apply thin wash of glossy paint, but that runs the risk of fucking the colors to shit.

>Could have used a darker blue, also some greenish residue would really drive home the aquatic feel.
It...actually had those things.
Then I went all "hey why don't I make THE GOGGLES SILVER?!?!," fucked it, overcorrected with Metallic Periwinkle.
Definitely gonna redo it/take your advice tomorrow morning.

>Could use some artificial dents and scarring
Wish I thought of that after I de-Takua'd the mask. Shit would've been sweet.

>>5246978
>Look into weathering powders or washes for your exhaust
oooh SNAP THAT LOOKS TASTY, but a bit outside my price range.
I'm working with 7 tubes (red, blue, yellow, black, white, gold, silver) of >$1 Apple Barrel paint.
I wonder if I could mimic the look with some matte grey paint and trickery.

Thanks for the constructive criticism, anons!

>tfw no double-socket CCBS bones
So many MOC's just arent possible because I lack any variant of these crucial pieces (I guess I have G1 bonkle ones but I am trying to stay clear of those since G1 parts are so delicate I fear that even MOCing with them is starting to feel heretical).

What's a good currently-available set to get a few of these pieces? Umarak has at least two but he's still a year away plus I generally wait a year before disassembling my Bionicle sets into the parts bin.

May have been misinterpreting my post, I know what they are, I just don't own any.

Currently not in a position to have things delivered to me so I can't really make use of Bricklink for a couple years.

>>5247050
True enough, but as I said, I generally keep my sets assembled for at least a year unless they are story relevant beyond that point (I will be disassembling my Masters and adding them to the parts bin once the Uniters come out, for example) so I was trying to figure out if there were some current alternatives, Skull Scorpio has only one, I think Grievous has at least two double-socket pieces but am unsure how he fares as a parts-pack beyond those.

I'm literally 20 m8, waiting 2 years to move out, but on topic, am really trying to get a hold of some double socket pieces, but got no Hero Factory sets out of spite. I am trying to build up a CCBS parts variety and am just trying to figure out the best ways to get certain parts without also having to get a bunch of effectively garbage printed pieces.

Thats what I thought, but isn't gali's harpoon piece the same length as a mata neck? whereas this is about one stud shorter, it also seems fairly fixed in place, if it was a Mata neck it would just spin around.
