I am a big fan of Bandai America's original dino zords from the Dino Charge line, like Deinosuchus and Ammonite. I also like the original mini-zords, giving life to previously zyudenchi/charger only Dinos.
I noticed that the heads of the bipedal minizords are basically the same size as the raptor and para zords' heads, so I decided to use the minizords to create full sized zords, by molding new heads, jaws and forearms (where applicable). My first finished creation is the Oviraptor zord, complete with Dino Gas weapon Oviraptor dinozord finally finished! I'm very happy with the overall result. It goes to show you how easily Bandai could use parts/molds/3D models from the minizords to make new full-scale zords (at least for some of them, size-wise). Head, wings, and lower beak/jaw all molded and modified from the Oviraptor Minizord, Para zord is the base. Head close up view. All details were taken from the colored "hatching" Oviraptor charger, which uses the Minizord as a base image. Dino Gas Charger, engage! I colored the tail gun bronze. I wanted to stay true to the source material (it's a giant fart gun) but stay classy |

This is cool for a repaint with a minor sculpt addition. I like.

Nice job.
I question the choice of the Oviraptor, but still solid

I wanted to do Oviraptor cuz he's a cool dino (feathers!) as well as the comedic factor of his weapon.
Next up are Iguanodon and Fukuiraptor! |

Those look amazing. The sculpting and paint job are really good on the zord. I can't wait to see more.

Thanks!
Can't take credit for the sculpting - since they're molded from the minizords from the charger packs. Any sculpting I do is minimal, like blending the feathers to the forearm or fixing little imperfections from bubbles during the molding process |
