What better to enter the BCBS challenge this month with, than a Toa of Classic Space?

About this creation

Glad the uploader is behaving again! Anyhoot, I'll try to keep it short today.

Link to the BCBS.

Shall we?

Look at these muscles.

With his terribly designed drill.

Height comparison with Malia. Just so you know, yes I have updated her some. Look here to see the updates.

Chest detail. This bugger was quite the problem to figure out.

And the back.

One last pose.

And the end.

Creator's Comments: Welp. This guy was an interesting one to build! I knew as soon as I saw the category that I wanted to do a CS theme build. This fits the theme in that he is designed to look like the CS black minifig.
Overall, the build is fairly simple and straightforward. However, that chest design made things very interesting. I started with that detail and worked my way out. Oh, and yes, I wanted him to have a disproportionate and even cartoony look to him, so don't worry. Also, the drill was an after thought. I didn't put that much effort into it. I know it sucks.
I know I had more I wanted to say.... Oh well. A lot of water has passed under that bridge. This guy has already been destroyed and rebuilt into a number of things.

Thanks for viewing, Tschuess!

Haha, nope, not a katana. Thanks Terilis :)

Quoting MortalSwordsman . Hahaha- they had cookies!! You are very welcome sir, I thought I added you a while back.

But of course! They were just a little freeze dried. Having come from Classic Space, the cookies certainly could have been tastier though, and a little bigger X3

Sorry L.A. I didn't realize I'd posted this twice. :/ But, I still have your comment XD

Quoting L.A. Miranda This, dear Gale, looks amazing. Legs looks great, with a nice use of the HF armor; and the torso has a epic, intrincated design: the wheel and tube are a cool touch. The forearms and feet also looks magnificent, and I love that weapon! Your MOCs are evolving to the style of the greatests, my dear. However, I don't recongnize the Classic Space theme here. I mean... You have made the minifigure Toa-sized, right? At least I can see that, but I don't think the minifigures are a real... 'symbol', of this theme... Well, anyways, this is going to be a tough round, so good luck!

I thank you for the kind words, (Though I can't exactly agree to some of it lol.) and trust me, I don't have high hopes for going anywhere in this round. If I had perhaps made him smaller, and build a vehicle to go with him, I could raise my expectations, but as it is I know I won't go far. And I am ok with that. :)

Quoting David Alexander Smith The CS logo is really well realised, not sure how I would have worked it out.
