As someone whose MOCs are all CCBS Torso-sized, this is very useful and they look super cool, even with wacky colors. If only I had those triangular technic plates so I could make these torsos myself!
thank you for this. I feel like this helped me make my first moc im actually proud of. Currently just trying to figure out how i can integrate some waist articulation into it without ruining the scale
Thanks. So far I’ve really only been treating this channel as a backup to stuff I post on reddit, but in the future I would like to explore more video oriented content. If only for myself and the few ppl that’ll see it.
There are two versions. Both are generically called 3x5 triangle liftarms. The ones in this video are the more recent version, part 99773. An older version, part 2905, also works. The difference is in the sides of the triangle. The older version has continuous sides; the newer one cuts more dramatically into the sides. There are niche uses for the extra space that affords. But i dont think it matters in these torsos.
Oh yeah, I totally agree. This happened to be a specific request from reddit for something the exact size of a ccbs torso but with one critical difference - a neck that ends in a socket rather than ball joint. There's no way to do that without a custom build, so that's what this is. I usually try to use prefab pieces where I can and save custom builds as a second resort. Because if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
@@Mike-mf3ed I think I found what you're talking about. So that other torso has a shoulder width of 7 units, as opposed to this piece's 9 units. That means you're looking to shave off 1 unit on both shoulders. In my second example torso, you should be able to accommodate that by replacing the glatorian necks comprising the shoulder joints with a 3L perpendicular axle connector (part 6553) and a lone technic ball. The tradeoff though is that the joint's ball can be liable to slip off, certainly more than a prefab one like the glatorian neck, so how much that bothers you is up to your preference. Other possibilities are to use hordika necks close together and angled to be straight, or using axles with stops and a hollow technic ball. Two 3L stop-axles with hollow balls on either end as shoulder joints with a single unit in between will get you exactly 7 units width like the torso you're aiming at. Building a torso around that would be my best suggestion.
@@BC-wd5ut If you're talking about the triangular liftarm, that's part 99773. It's basically a newer version of part 2905 but with the inner corners cut out more.
@@wholesomegadunka2811 the angle made one of the pins you used in the middle of the torso look translucent, like the same color as those bohrok eyes Edit: and upon second glance, it is just a normal blue pin, looks aged so the discoloration really threw me off, thanks for the reply though XD
