Motara Caravan [Brickonicle Concept]

This is one of many model I built as a set concept for the Brickonicle (Bionicle G3) Project, which was started by the TTV Channel.
The new set is for the region of Motara. As in my previous set I had to paint the masks on the rendered images, to show what the minifigures would look like with the masks. It doesn’t look perfekt, but I think it gets across how it would look. The new set contains a Bug-Rahi, the Motarans use to travel, with a wagon and a Tent, a little scenery of the Motara landscape, as well as the minifigures: Panrahk, a Matoran and Pohatu.

The Bug:
The Bug-Rahi with the wagon is the main part of the set. To build him I wanted to give especially the seat of the rider and the wagon a very tribal and desert/nomad look, so I went for a mixture of bone-like and Bionicle/technic-like looking pieces on the bugs armor, so it looks like the armor is made out of scrap found in the desert. The Luggage on the wagon can be detached and can be turned into a tent. The tent can be placed on the wagon as well.

The Scenery:
The Motara scenery shows the desert look of Motara and the Stone-Head is another MNOG easter-egg.

The Minifigures:
Panrahs design is again similar to the other Rahkshi (printing with Kraata, his G1 staff and spikes), but he has this special scorpion look. He even has a posable stinger-tail.
Pohatus design is as close to the official as I could get. His weapon is a mace with a rock attached as a reference to G1-Pohatus rock.
