(...) all the Protectors wear sacred Elemental Masks that have been passed down through the generations from father to son?”
“Well, yes. That’s how the tradition usually works. (...)
~ (Ryder Windham, Island of Lost Masks)
When I read this it made me wonder how many protectors had come and gone, who they might've been, what their lives might've been like and how they might've died. So to explore that a little I designed this line of protectors from a time between Ekimu's bed time and the birth of Nilkuu, Korgot and company.
The build of each character wasn't particuarly challenging due to the simplicity of the CCBS system, but in some ways this simplicity freed me up to focus on character design. An armour shell pointing up conveys a different shape and has different implications to a shell pointing down. With CCBS every piece changes things, and is a decision to be made.
I wanted these guys to look like they might be a lego line, so I followed their formula for the protectors; standard torso, functional stud shooters, blue pins and red axles, (vaguely) limited parts count and (mostly) CCBS and Bionicle 2015 pieces. I think I eventually undermined their viability as real lego sets by focusing on the visuals, but I'm OK with that compromise.
These guys took forever but a fair part of that was working out my lighting and issues (getting the light piping working in photographs is the worst), and hopefully now I have a system that'll allow me to produce nice photos faster. Do any more experienced lightbox users out there know what's causing the glare on the protector's mask? Is it that I'm not diffusing the light enough?
I really appriciate anyone who has taken the time to, look, favourite or comment, you have made my day every day over the past week. Thank you!
A friend who lives in a rural area has posted a not so subtle message for the deer that often show up on his property. "don't mess with my garden"
Mixed results so far.
DESIGNATION: Protector-018
NICKNAME: Galaar
RANK: ARC Lieutenant Grade 1
UNIT: Vornskr, First Regiment, "Bralor's First", 253rd Elite Clone Legion
"Galaar means hawk in Mando'a the native language of the Mandalorians, a name given to Protector Class ARC Trooper 018 for his abnormally keen vision and hunting instinct. In a sense, like the rest of his Protector brethren, Galaar was everything that the Kaminoans had designed him to be, an apex predator. It was during the initial combat simulations when Galaar first learned of his aptitude towards reconnaissance and tracking, a bi-product of a slight genetic mishap which heightened his senses. While not significant enough to warrant special assignment, Galaar's mutation peaked the interest of Mandalorian Huntress and Cuy'val Dar member, Vhonte Tervho. Tervho took Galaar under her wing and taught him the ways of the hunt, indoctrinating him further into the Mandalorian culture and molding him into an expert scout, tracker, and sapper. She would later give him the name "Galaar" after observing him during his 3rd phase combined arms trials, where 018 served as a point man for his platoon, acting as their eyes and ears on the battle field. It was here he exceled, often cut off from his unit, but still effective, relaying information and sabotaging the enemy at every opportunity, he was good at it that he was put up for promotion prior to the First Battle of Geonosis. Galaar was confident and rightfully so, Cabur and Vhonte Tervho has trained him well, he was part of what may be the most elite fighting force the Galaxy would ever see, so when word came that the Legion would be mobilized and sent to Geonosis to rescue a Jedi task force, Galaar didn't worry, the mission would be textbook, just like the simulations.
Unfortunately for the young ARC trooper he was wrong.
The First Battle of Geonosis, saw the integration of over a thousand regular clone troopers into the 253rd's ranks, separating the elite ARC troopers of Fenn Bralor's Raysh'olan Ade, and putting them in charge of brothers whom they never met nor trained with before. This decision by the commanders of the newly formed Grand Army of the Republic would prove to be disastrous for the 253rd and result in heavy casualties among both the ARCs and their trooper brethren. Galaar, was restricted during the battle, unable to play to his strengths, due to being forced to baby sit a platoon of troopers. Unlike is ARC brethren, Galaar could not just leave them and play the role of the scout as by doing so would jeopardize the entire squad and their mission. This put Galaar at a major disadvantage and it showed when Galaar's platoon took over fifty-percent casualties during their mission to destroy a small droid foundry in the planets southern hemisphere. Geonosis taught Galaar a harsh lesson, one he did not wish to repeat on the frozen waist land of Rhen Var. To remind himself of his responsibility as a leader to his men, Galaar would paint his armor with green markings, as the color green symbolizes "duty" in the Mandalorian culture. With his armor serving as a solemn reminder of the brothers lost on Geonosis and as promise to those who survived, Galaar began the work of transforming his squad of regular clone troopers into force which would make the Mandalorians back on Kamino proud...

Well that was long, please let me know if I started to ramble anywhere if you happen to read the whole thing.
After deciding that giving Vornskr cold assault armor Rhen Var would break the timeline I'm trying to follow and my goals of a more structured story, I've decided to retcon their initial appearance, by giving Galaar standard Phase 1 ARC armor, and the members of Vornskr Squad unpainted phase 1 armor.
I hope to post my 1.2 build tomorrow in celebration of May 4th and my 1.3 some time in the next week or two. After that it'll likely be time to build again for World in Darkness.
As always thanks for stopping by, especially if you've read this far and have a good one!

Bella has always been a joy. She makes us laugh even in sad and stressful times and gives lots of sloppy kisses. She loves her toys and lives for company and walks. She has now taken on the role of protector. My husband is having trouble with strength and balance and has a problem walking. She listens for sounds when he is upstairs and alerts me if he calls for me or if he's having trouble. She has been truly amazing and we love her dearly.
She was very protective over her nest. If I got too close she'd bite at my camera. But I gave her some bread so she would ease up a bit. I had to go to work so I couldn't take anymore

It's not uncommon to find an Akuma walking the streets on Hades Colony, after several attacks, and several successful defenses, the Demons have become exceedingly proficient to showing the invaders that they are not welcome on Mars.

The Protector
I'm currently in this long and confusing process of figuring out who I am and what I want to do in my life, but all I know is that protection does not come in a bottle. It is in me, in my actions, in my thoughts. I am the best medicine for myself. I am the cure and the disease...
What the name of the goddess means remains uncertain. Names of ancient Egyptian deities often were represented as references to associations or with euphemisms, being cult secrets. One recent suggestion by Stephen Quirke (Ancient Egyptian Religion) explains Bastet as meaning, "She of the ointment jar". This ties in with the observation that her name was written with the hieroglyph for ointment jar and that she was associated with protective ointments, among other things.
The name of the material known as alabaster might, through Greek, come from the name of the goddess Bastet. This association would have come about much later than when the she was venerated as a protective lioness goddess. (Source Wiki)
Super pumped for this movie, just got my tickets today!
Wasn’t a huge fan of how lanky LEGO’s Great Protector looked, so I took it apart entirely and made a new one with better proportions. Was going to use those large hinge pieces from the original build, but ended up scrapping them for normal ball joint pieces. The dragon is much thicker now but can stand on its own without the the water base.
What do you guys think? Comments are always welcome!
Check out more pictures on my Instagram!
And together they move on...

Jessie perfectly stated " we spent the day chasing graves, sunlight and secret waterfall".
Thought about the title? When we went to value village and picked the "best book". The novel is called The Lord Protector. Nothing original or thoughtful.
