Stacks and stacks of 1x1 plates aren't structurally sound, though you could make it 2 studs thick and use clear 1x2 plates tied through to the front layer. That makes it twice as expensive, though, and still not overly solid. What you really need to (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jan-02, to lugnet.build)

Cool MOC, as usual Mark. ;-D Like others have mentioned, the use of the Bionicle mask is very "neat" (okay, okay, it's totally sweet dude). One suggestion though, add more armour to the front.
