Socket's Moc Corner

Here's where I post my lego creations and custom model kits.

Papa Duplo has won my first Brickee at BFVA23! I'll post actual pics of this moc later, still have some custom decals to commission.

An unnamed Toa of Light.

Someone's taking their job too seriously...

Does anyone still use tumblr for mocs?

Here's a build for the Hardworking Citizens collab - you can see the other builds here on instagram.

Pure Shadow Toa

Enemy of team Prisma

"Our brothers and sisters who have aligned with darkness wear wicked armor and wield brutal looking tools. This is a cheap intimidation tactic. Their desire to strike fear may produce equipment that is impractical. Do not be fooled." - wisdom of a sagely Turaga.

The members of team Prisma in no particular order.

I reshot the photos of the first three team Prisma members so I have a full set of all of them with the same background. Now to find a sheet of poster paper large enough to take a group photo...

Team Prisma's Toa of Plantlife is very smug, and for good reason - she might just be the best swordsman around.

[socketballmocs]

Team Prisma's Toa of Ice is a pessimistic adrenaline junkie who loves use his masks' power to blast through icy environments with deadly speed.

Team Prisma's Fire Toa prefers to solve problems as directly as possible. His axes burn so hot they can melt stone and some metals.

I finally took pictures of the Horned Fullbrog revamp! It's a vicious cannibal creature that swears a lot.

The Swolephant! He doesn't exercise his legs enough and is terrified of mice.

VS Gladiator The Gladiator variant of the VS line of mass-produced robot grunts. My riff on Maxbuild's VS Robot frame

There are many lessons in life we have to learn the hard way, like 'our antarctic base is not well-defended.'

Build inspired by the amphibious mobile suits from Gundam. I used a blacklit flashlight to make the eye glow. All stickers except for the numbers are lego, and those come from a 30MM model kit. The moc features a gear that easily swings the eye across the visor area.

Blademaiden - Heroine of an ancient era. Fun little retooling of an old build.

[socketballmocs]

The "Golden Hero", an old moc from around 2015 that I've slightly reworked.

Custom parts for @suddenlyoranges‘ “Sockets” character. Oranges wanted the limbs and mask to have a gradient of yellow and transparent blue, with some clear space between the colors so that the colors didn’t mix into a green in the middle. To accomplish this, I relied on transparent yellow Tamiya paint at the clear ends of the cast parts. I honestly wasn’t sure it would work aesthetically, but it has a striking, otherworldly effect!
