Bionicle Nuparu Matoran Revamp

9.0K1116

Intro: Bionicle Nuparu Matoran Revamp

This is essentially my revamp of one of my favorite bionicle matoran, Nuparu. Basically, It has custom legs, torso, and arms, complete with a robotic one. Though it is small, this model is somewhat difficult for first time builders. Even if you don't have the pieces in the same color you can still follow it as a model.

Difficulty: 8.5/10

Estimated Time: 15- 30 minutes

STEP 1: Step 1 the Legs!

The Legs!

Follow the pics

IMPORTANT! Remember to make a second leg but a mirror image!

STEP 2: Step 2 Torso!

The Torso

Follow the pictures!

STEP 3: Arms and Hands!

The arms and hands!

Follow the pics

When making the robot hand, attach the single thumb to the lower part and the three other fingers to the higher piece.

STEP 4: Head and Blaster

You probably know what to do by now...

I love this, best matoran build

no thanks, I do not want any membership yours , I just want to download the instructions, thanks


Cool, I can't wait to make this guy! By the way, to get good closeup pics, you could use this camera: http://stopmotionexplosion.com/collections/stopmotion-cameras/products/hd-stopmotion-camera It has a manual focus for extreme closeups and is good for stop motion, I use it all the time!

Wow pretty nice, I really like the design.
Wow. Just pure amazing! Definite favorite, I tried to build it but I had to substitute the arms because I ran out of those little black sphere connecters
Hehe, I like the cyborg-like robot arm. (it's from exo-force, eh?)
 this is the most flippin cool bionicle eva
Very good, this is the best Matoran desing I've ever seen.
I LOVE THIS DESIGN! Is it okay if I use this design?
Yeah, you can. Isn't that the reason for Instructables? :P
this is a much better nuparu than the sets, i think you should email this to lego.com! i also like the gun on the shoulder added from one of the inika (i cant remember which), but this is great!
Thanks a lot! The gun is based on Nuparu Inika. If mean colour, it would be Hewkii Inika.
Wow that's a chunky bionicle I think you should add a power glove but it still good with out it.
Huh? He is wearing a power glove, it's his robotic hand- it is so bad... : )
