That looks awesome!

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...szvas8dnq.jpeg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...scxfzx7u8.jpeg And a few comparison pics http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...s3nqra7ej.jpeg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...s5f124gxg.jpeg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...sjiuqrmhu.jpeg Close up of the modded head. To solve the issue of the fins, instead of making a little cover piece, I simply sliced off the fins at their base and turned the little peg around so you have a nice rounded surface - fits like a glove and looks great. The only downside to not having fins there is that the megazord head stands out a bit more in Dino mode. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...sbjlkrhgb.jpeg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...sbaoxklzm.jpeg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...sz6hlfr7w.jpeg |
Can it combine is the million dollar question. But that looks AMAZING!

Of course it can combine! Unlike Oviraptor, I didn't paint any if the clips or attachment points.
Since making Oviraptor, I think I have figured out a way to prevent paint flaking on the clips to insert into the arm ports - it involves sanding down those clips a little, then sealing the paint with superglue. Worked well on a test trial |

More progress on Futabasaurus - connected the custom parts to the jaw bits from Plesiosaurus. Check out the chompy-chomp action here: https://www.facebook.com/zordbuilder...9013468469383/

Your work never ceases to amaze and impress.
|
Love this stuff. Your work looks so professional.

Thanks Shinken Red. And with that, I present Fukuiraptor!
Finished Fukuiraptor! http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...sdkqjmqbj.jpeg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...slctqseld.jpeg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...s5rbkcapr.jpeg The raptor pack gained another member! http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...shohyticx.jpeg Comparison time! http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...s0q0qlbc5.jpeg I used the red raptor for the base and only added the silver on the legs. I may go back and add the black over the shoulders like I did on the raptor zord. More pics (combos, etc) forthcoming |
The Tapejara zord my favorite one nice work. Looking forward to seeing all the other zords you have plan.
|
More are definitely coming! I have plans to make all of the other Dino zords not seen in the show, but now existing as mini zords. Thankfully, Bandai took care of the hardest ones - Archelon and Ammonite.
Now for some combo pictures! Custom Megazord, activate! Tapejara-Oviraptor-Fukuiraptor formation! http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...srdmf0wta.jpeg Slashing from the left http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...s72islabh.jpeg Gassing from the right http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...sqscp58oe.jpeg |
Preview of my completed Iguanodon Zord from Dino Super Charge!
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...syf0e2wt7.jpeg And compared to his off the shelf base figure: http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...sel8y6lve.jpeg No pics of the custom tail weapon yet, still working out a few paint details. More pics (in better lighting) soon! As always, check my Facebook page for the latest updates and previews! https://www.facebook.com/zordbuildercustoms/ |
Awesome job! Keep up the good work. It'd be cool to see a futabasaurus zord next.
|
That'll be the next one I finish! Have you been following the updates? ;)
|
So, who did it better? ;)
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...s4alk3sep.jpeg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...stxrzcpzq.jpeg I really like Bandai's feathered forearms. |
Your paint is obviously better, but the official mold is has better arms and is a friggin crossbow.
Can't decide which head is better though. |
I think I'm going to make another set of head and jaw and see how it looks on the official body. Just need to find the right matching orange paint...

Here's the finished Iguanodon Zord with its custom tail weapon, made from the gold ranger cycle weapon and the base from the Pachy mace.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...suesa1ajb.jpeg The yellow blade is meant to be a naginata/spear, and the color is reminiscent of the Iguanodon's stiletto thumb spike. Not quite useful for tickling, but close enough, right? With base Pachy Zord http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...soxqjny6z.jpeg Plesiocharge megazord: purple power formation! http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...swy7e1rjd.jpeg Iggy in the arm spear mode http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...smyprfynu.jpeg More pics and combo shots on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/zordbuildercustoms/ Next up, Futabasaurus Megazord! |
I'm 95% done with the fabrication on my next custom dinozord!
Futabasaurus rises from the depths later this week http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...sxpe59lbl.jpeg |
Finally finished! Futabasaurus rises from the depths!
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...sar8gcevn.jpeg More pics soon! |

Yup! More pics soon, probably later today. I was just tired and the lighting would not show off some of the details I have in Megazord mode, so I wanted to wait until there was sunlight ;)
|
You never fail to amaze. Great job as usual. So who's next on the list?
|
Said it the other day. LOVE this one!!!!
|
Thanks guys! For the latest info, definitely check out my Facebook page: Nrin Vakil's Zord Builder Customs https://m.facebook.com/zordbuildercustoms/
I'll give you a hint, though: V is for Victory http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...shxd09vcs.jpeg |
The Victory zord is definitely going to be interesting.
|
Yeah, it will. Been having some trouble figuring out the head and jaw pieces. They are more narrow and pointy than the T-Rex head, so just sticking them on top isn't quite working...
I think Allosaurus, proportionally, will be easier. |

You, sir, just blew my mind. I went and checked the spino head - I knew the head itself was more narrow overall, but guess what!? The actual port on the shoulder piece where the head and jaw attach is actually sculpted smaller and more narrow than the t-Rex!!! This makes my life infinitely easier. Now I just need to decide if this warrants buying another spino to use the shoulder (and the rest for a different custom...) or if I can mold and cast the shoulder piece...

It's been a while. Not much progress on further zords, but I have branched out into Custom Spirit Rangers for the other guardian zords (including the zords I've made or plan to make).
The newest one is Dino Charge Cobalt, the partner of the Archelon zord. He grew up in a community of fishermen, hearing from tales of a giant guardian sea turtle. He bonded with the Cobalt Energem during a typhoon that struck his island village. I used the Walgreens shiny blue ranger, sliced off the stegosaurus plates and used the last 2 plates to make the fins on the side of the helmet. So unlike Plesio and Futaba rangers, he's got a full set of 4 fins.

Are you doing anything with Ninja Steel? Just wondering, I love your work!
|
Thank you! That's a very good question. The only thing I can think of is making a female green ranger, or perhaps rangers for the other auxiliary zord.
At the moment, I have such a long list of Dino charge ideas in progress or being planned, that it may be a while before I did anything Ninja Steel related. Plus I love dinosaurs much more than ninjas :) Come to think of it, one thing thing I would absolutely love to do is to make a American version of the Dragon mode helmet/hat, using my ninninger shuriken as a base and mold/mod it to fit the American version and figure out how to make it clip on the American dragon's head |
Dude....That's amazing.

It’s been a while since I posted here, but I’m back with good news!
After 5 years of off and on work (the frill was so darn frustrating with molding/enlarging), the Styracosaurus zord is done! https://scontent-mia3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...3d&oe=5B73D16B https://scontent-mia3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...58&oe=5B4FF70F Tail heart weapon detail. Also note that I removed the butt horns. https://scontent-mia3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...3e&oe=5B52A541 More pictures on my Facebook page |
Diplodocus Megazord!
Finally finished my DX Dino Charge Diplodocus Megazord, based on the official Titano Megazord, new accessory parts to remove/disguise the other guardian Dino’s and head enlarged from the Bandai of America minizord.
https://scontent-mia3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...5c&oe=5CDFE22A https://scontent-mia3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...39&oe=5CE2BF85 https://scontent-mia3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...18&oe=5CFA0966 https://scontent-mia3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...a0&oe=5CE24FA2 https://scontent-mia3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...48&oe=5CFB508D https://scontent-mia3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...9c&oe=5CEA6FF7 A few more pictures are on my facebook page Still need to finish Kentrosaurus, Deinonychus, Allosaurus and Victory! |
Wow, that’s great. What color did you end up using for the main body? It looks black, but at the same time like a very dark blue or purple.
|
It was Kryolan Colormaster Royal Blue. I purposely wanted something with a little purple in it because the color for the charger, zyudenchi, logo Dino, and mini zord are all a little different in terms of blue/purple ratio.
The black is more from my poor photo lighting, trying to take the pictures last night when I finished... I need to set up a little photo studio or something. I will say that I probably won't be using this type of paint again - it did NOT like the plastic of the custom pieces, especially not adhering well to the hard edges of the sculpt. Finding a good plastic primer might have helped. |
