My Umarak the Destroyer revamp. One significant change I made is the jaw, which can be moved up and down. It is not a flawless system, as it prevents the jaw turning left or right, so the head is not otherwise posable.
Claw and gun. I had trouble thinking of interesting weapons. But the claw doesn't look half bad, even if it is pretty simple.
A revamp that I've been working on for a while now. He has two arms rather than four (I thought four looked silly).
"Krahka circled warily. The shapeshifting Rahi had faced many foes in her life, including the six Toa Metru. But this Roodaka was something different. Every move she made was carefully calculated and all part of a grand strategy. There was no wasted motion, no scrambling to react to Krahka's changes of shape.
For her part, Roodaka was enjoying this. She could have had Krahka slain immediately, but chose instead to face the Rahi in single battle. The arena floor had been cleared for them. Now the Visorak watched as their leader prepared to claim another victim."
This MOC.....it's been done and photographed since months ago. The day that I got my braces to be exact (one week before school started). I kept saying that I would post it once I edited the background, but that clearly didn't happen.
As you can see, this revamp can be made into it's Nuva form by simply adding some armor. This is probably the fastest Bionicle MOC that I have build, only taking a couple hours in one day. I'm really happy how it turned out, there are some things that I would like to improve, but I don't feel that they're that important to fix anytime soon
Here's what you were waiting for Kamil Z, who I kept promising that I would post this picture soon.

This is a shot that I took a little while ago and I decided to go ahead and re-edit it. After getting some new gear and things I think that I have been improving a lot. As well as getting the lighting and composition good to begin, with my editing has also improved greatly. I saw a tutorial that Arron Van Dike posted not to long ago, on dodging and burning, and it really helped a lot. You should def. go check it out here If you haven't already seen it.
But I decided to go ahead and look through some of the older shots in my stream and go "revamp" them in hopes of making them making them better than they were. I'll probably be posting one or two more, in the next couple of days, as well as new shots from shoots that are lined up for this week.
Lemme know what you think, you can find the older shot here.

So I wanted to rebuild one of my older MOC's well, The body looks a bit better and I changed the body part where the legs attach.
I have a little backstory ready for him =3

Many school buses have the upper part of the roof painted white, to keep the interior cooler in the sun. Because my minifig scale school bus has a white roof, I decided to add it to my larger model as well.
I'm getting back into Bionicle since it's returning soon, so this is what I've been working on for the past week or two.
A few things to note about this:
- I realise the upper arms are rather basic, this was because I wanted a decent amount of possibility near the wings for the arms. I might have been able to get around this but I didn't really focus much on that part as they aren't very visible (especially from behind because of the wings).
- The cordak blaster being a bow serves little practical purpose, it's for style more than anything.
I probably need some practise if I'm going to get into Bionicle MOCing, so expect a lot more in the future. They should get better over time.
He's finally done! So much happier with his build in every way now, the old version just looks sloppy to my eyes now.

Thanks so much for looking and have a great day!
"I'm gonna hide this tape when I'm finished. If none of us make it, at least there'll be some kind of record. The storm's been hitting us hard now for 48 hours. We still have nothing to go on. [turns off tape recorder and takes a drink of whisky. He looks at the torn long johns and turns it back on] One other thing: I think it rips through your clothes when it takes you over. Windows found some shredded long johns, but the name tag was missing. They could be anybody's."
A half-assed mood piece of the updated outpost.
Made for Hero February over on Instagram.
Just a fun little build primarily for my own enjoyment, made with the goal of using only pieces I currently have in my collection and of course, finishing before the end of the month.
Nitroblast and the Fire Villains are definitely a soft spot for me in the HF Roster, with some very charming sets and interesting designs from the earliest days of CCBS. With this revamp I wanted to honor the most unique and iconic features from the original, while doing my best to balance a cleaner, sleeker design with the Fire Villain's signature style of spikes, flames and jet engines.
It was a lot of fun to tackle a weirder character and design, without the pressures of more humanoid proportions and techniques.
I hope you all enjoy!

A revamp of my Judge Magister Gabranth fig, implementing a few different custom products, including my coveted Judge Magister cape made by Lamanda.
Xplode was my first HF villain set, and I’ve been wanting to do a revamp of him for quite a while. So once I finished Thonk, I decided to try tackling something a bit smaller, more simple. A nice change of pace.
So of course I almost doubled the amount of spikes and gave him a giant spiky buster sword.
I had considered using a more tame and faithful alternative for his mace-ax-club-sword-thingamajig but I felt like he called for something heavier. Plus I had ordered three extra blade pieces that I didn’t want laying around.
Another change was the beefiness of it all. I kinda liked the idea that Xplode had upgraded himself to take a few more hits. Since the Heroes had gotten more and more powerful, it only made sense that Xplode - one of the best at the whole “Criminal for hire” gig, would have made himself more endurant and powerful to stay competitive.
I did leave his meteor blaster alone, because I feel like that’s the sort of weapon he’d like to be quick and maneuverable. Something you can be quick on the draw with, rather than have a giant cannon to lug around.
Overall this MOC certainly isn’t my best, but it was never meant to be. It’s just a fun little dive back into my childhood, and into some simpler techniques and styles. It was nostalgic, while also refreshing. I’ll definitely be doing more MOC’s like this in the future.
Thank you for checking out my stuff! And have a great day!

Julius "The Tech-Head" Nex is a newer hero, they're a master with anything tech related. Nex is fast, strong and smart. The real deal.

Since i decided his hair will be black, i retouched his lashes and eyebrows a bit , and his mouth to make it stand up a little more :)
I think he's finished now :D
This is how the station is looking now. I remodelled it after the station at Wondelgem here in Belgium. It's about 80% done now. The dark blue bits on the roof are just to fill in as I ran out of black roof tiles. Unfortunately bricklink orders are on hold till I pay off my wife's credit card bill:( Anyway the engine shed was also redone, slimmed down and lengthened to 66 studs in length, so it can comfortably accommodate my locos.
I took this 20 sec. exposure on top of a bridge running over I-80. My original plan was to go out and take pictures of the abandoned silos on the left. The grain elevators were recently revamped with screen prints from surrounding artists.
The legendary Seventh Toa has arrived, in glorious revamped form. Hope you like him as much as I enjoyed building him!
I'm really happy with how he came out, especially the painted chestpiece. I used Citadel Paints, with one layer of Liberator Gold over a base of Abaddon Black. I tried two coats of gold, but then it looked too yellow compared to the original gold parts. Would definitely recommend these paints for anyone interested in modifying their Bonk parts (even if it *is* illegal).
Now I've just got to think of the next project...
