Tahu 2

    Ditsy inspired me to tweak the limb coloring and armor placement a bit.

      Hmmm... not so keen.

      The black shells look a bit out of place - I think a simple black torso bone would represent the black shoulder/waist sockets much better.

      Also, the Toa leg pieces flare at the ankles, so the orange armour on Tahu's legs might serve better rotated 180.

      This is a fantastic project though; I love the nostalgia of it!

      I kind of preferred how the shells and bones were colored and arranged on the older version. Now, with that said, I'd like to mention that if the 2M "friction joint" of the Super Heroes sets gets added to LDD, you could use that and get the color placement of the black almost 100% accurate to the original Toa Mata sets.

      Also, I wonder if you could reverse the lower leg shells so that the points are facing down. I think that would echo the wide shins of the original Toa Mata leg pieces, plus it would give these Toa the same sturdy boot-clad look that some of this year's Hero Factory sets like Breez, Furno, and Surge have. Your choice, of course.

      Strangely this one reminds me more of Tahu Nuva - not sure why! Maybe it's the pose...

      Anyway, the black shells are an interesting touch. Not sure if they're 100% successful, but you're definitely on to something. I'd follow Brickthing's advice and see what the result looks like. :D
