Description
About the MOC: Mass is the fourth member of the Crystal Team. His transformation went a little out of hand, explaining his rather tall build. The power he gets from the crystals, allows him to become as tough as the strongest metal available, it also gives him a huge amount of adrenaline, making him the perfect "tank" for full-frontal combat. He's not that stealthy though, seeing his size tends to get in the way. He loves working with Ace on tactical missions. He's not that big of a fan of Shade though, but then again... who is?Related content

Mass in my my mind is the first example that Dennis can handle a larger build relatively well, but still needs to cut his teeth on a few more to fully get the hang of it.
Vision gets four stars because having talked to Dennis extensively, I feel he's able to get the end results he wants. In terms of MOCing, I think that's what Vision really mean.
Originality gets the lowest score because the concept of Mass isn't all that original. he basically reminds me of the Hulk, but in a bionicle Titan. The crystal project is an interesting one, but also not overly original. Originality is difficult to come by and is overrated any how. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/let⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

Technique is High because Dennis has shown he knows his way around a MOC. His Standard(ish) figure building is in my opinion consistently good. However, I think hes got a lot to learn when it comes to larger builds. Mass looks good in terms of flow, style and aesthetics, but he does look a little floppy, mostly in the arms. He looks like he could use stabler joints in his elbows and shoulders. The legs look decently stable though.
Impact gets a 4 as well because the over all flow of Mass really impacted me as a MOCer. I was surprised to see a larger titan build have such clean lines between the various body parts. While Dennis's techniques aren't all that original, he does know how to use armor very well and blend structure and aesthetics seamlessly.
Mass is a well-done MOC, with only the minor complaint of the arms mentioned earlier. I hope to see Dennis expand into other areas of MOCing when he's completed his Crystal Project series. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

I don't know if you'd agree, but Mass's upper legs are brilliant

Do you mean the actual upper thighs? Cause its a technique I've seen before. It also vaguly reminds me of Roodaka.

Its a good set, you should get it, and I should get another, or two. Lotta good parts in black and silver.

For the most part I don't search for sets. I usually just add them to existing Bricklink orders. I'll keep that in mind though

What do you mean, do you add a complete set to a BL order, or some of the parts from one?

I'm saying if a store has some cheap sets I don't have, then I just add them to the order

Ah I see. I wanna start doing that to. I need to get a couple of the brown bohrok for when I rebuild Mototaur.

Is it strange that the place I think Mass could be most improved is not the elbows or wrists, but the shoulders?

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Sandtrap [2013-02-23 09:54:35 +0000 UTC]
I think the arms as a whole could be improved. He used too standard a system for a larger build.

Sandtrap In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2013-02-25 09:13:33 +0000 UTC]
Well, yeah, but those shoulders look like they're actively straining their connections at the torso from where I'm sitting.

No weight problem there.. the shoulder pieces are actually connected at an angle. He can hold up his arms just fine btw.

If you say so, man. It just looks really strained, is all.

Yeah, it does look like he hung a lot of weight on those two parts.

Nice foot design, the Hordika feet work well as toes

In my personal opinion, I feel that the hands are a bit big. But, beyond that, this is just beautiful. I love those legs and that torso.

Yeah the hands might be a bit too big i suppose. But i was very eager to use that design xD. I think it works. ^^
