Today, I'm going to do the next Hero Factory MOC technique: How to attach a hose like piece across the breakout body armour! In my Hero Factory MOC, Jonas Stringer, he had a picture with another one of my MOCs named Nick Evo which had the hose like piece going around his body. It's just a matter of whether you would spend the time and effort to attach the hose in such a way that it wouldn't seem to be very far from the body. I can tell you that when I did that, I was struggling to get the hose to attach. Anyway, here's how to do it.

By the way, Nick Evo's armour has changed slightly. I'll post up his profile soon! :D Also, see you in part 3!

OH MY GOODNESS IT'S FINALLY 10 000+ PAGEVIEWS!!! I'VE HIT IT! IT'S 10 000 PAGEVIEWS!!!!! CELEBRATIN' TIME! Now that I've gotten 10 000+ page views, I'm going to update my Chima Battleground MOC and also share with you some Hero Factory MOC making techniques. Also made a slight modification with the Kai KX minifigure
Contents:
Part 1- First Hero Factory MOC techinique: How to put on the Multi tool ice shield(MTIS) on the back of a hero without looking awkward and with 3 long sized armour on the extra ball joints of the torso(Today's post)
Part 2-Second Hero Factory MOC technique: How to attach a hose like piece across a breakout hero body armour
Part 3- Updated version of my Chima Battleground MOC
Part 4: Kai KX(Ninjago TV series version)
Now, for the first technique for Hero Factory MOCs!
Some of you may be wondering how I got the MTIS on the back of Cedric Firelaser and Jay Acshooter without looking awkward and at the same time, they have 3 long armour pieces on the extra ball joints. Well, it's quite simple. Here's a picture of the pieces.

The scout drone piece is not required. I had that in the pic because I took this off Jay Acshooter and he had that piece to make it like a jetpack.

Here's how to make it.

If you used it, please give me credit. By the way, if you aren't using the extra ball joints for 3 long armour, you can use MonsieurCaron's method in his MOC video, Kenneth 2.0. How to starts at 0.49.
Hope you liked it and see you in part 2!

As promised, I will make a how to on Amos Swordman, one of my MOCs! I know I haven't posted a bio on him so here it is!

Name: Amos Swordman

Form: Custom???

Weapons: Ice katana and shield

Colours: Silver, blue and gunmetal grey/ dark pearl grey

Personalty: A calm, collected and ready for anything. However, he usually prefers to do missions alone so that he doesn't have to always follow the leader's orders.(Usually he's not the leader in a temporary team.)

Affiliation: Hero Factory

Team:-

Location: Makuhero City

Status: Alive, active

Background: After Shaun Burst's discovery of a half burnt Inika torso in his return to his home planet, he brought it back to Hero Factory and they fixed up the torso and brought the design to the assembly tower to test it out. The first hero to have this torso is Amos Swordman(Torso credit goes to toatrifernuva). Like his name suggests, he was really interested in using a sword to fight. So, he went to train with Clement Swordmaster. As he held a katana, he was suggested to learn Shinkendo. He agreed and he started training. When he finished his training, he was great with the sword and since  then, he preferred to go for missions alone. Of course, sometimes Hero Factory has to go against his wishes.

Here are the parts needed to build him.

(Oh gosh, I captured my finger in the pic. :p)

(What's the foot of my newest MOC doing there on the left?! :p)

Here's the video of how to build it. 




Please give me credit if you built him. See you in part 3!

Lego hero factory MOC making tip: Making your villains look menacing

This post is on how to make your villains look menacing! Ever had troubles for making your villains look awesome,evil,menacing, or cool? If so, then this post is for you.
1. Height
Height is one of the best things to make your villain look evil, especially if taller than the heroes. One of the examples is this:

Both of the characters I've shown are going to come up quite soon, if you want to know. As you can see, the height difference is quite high. But of course, the hero size may vary, so some may look just about the same height while some may seem very short compared to the villain.
2.Extending the neck
This is just literally taken off from Lego's official sets, so not much to explain for this one.
3.Mask
The villain's mask is one of the most important things a villain would need. The mask can really make the villain look so menacing that your friends would just say it looks scary! One example is Plamb commenting on my post for Orguz. He said that it was scary which I think it's probably because of the mask.
4.Clawed feet
If you ever want to use this technique for making a villain, you had better use it on villain creatures. Otherwise, it can look extremely odd. One example is this:

Bruizulk(Seen in soft toys talking 4)

As you can see, the clawed feet works perfectly well as this is a creature. (Actually he's not a villain. Also, he will have his own post soon.)
5.Spikes/flames/ any other villain-looking stuff
Spikes can really make your villain look awesome or cool. Of course, you need to find the right spikes/flames or any other villain related stuff to fit your villain before it can really look awesome.
6.Bulkiness
Make your villain look bulky to look very strong and evil. This is optional, so actually you don't really have to make it super bulky. Example in '1.Height'.
7. Weapons
Last but not least, give it a weapon! What''s a villain without a weapon? It can vary from a sword to a bladed shield, or even from a small gun to a huge mega gun!
That's it for now!

Lego Hero Factory MOC tip: 1.0 Hero chest plate on a 2.0- Brain Attack torso

Here's a Lego hero factory MOC tip! The tip is on putting 1.0 hero chest plates onto a 2.0- Brain attack torso. Here's a picture of how it turns out when you finished putting it on.

This is only for demonstration purposes only so that's why it has no profile and weapons.
