Wow, those are AWESOME!

Well, glad you like them!  Your pages of LDLITE-rendered mecha, BTW, were
very helpful as well as inspirational.


I love that 2nd shot of the Kaimetsu, reminds me of Patlabor, with the
pilots head sticking out. Very cool... Hope to see more...

OK, here's another look at Kaimetsu (back when he was named Zenkai):

and some other early test-photos...

(this was back before they got Ninja head transplants.  :)

After taking those, I bought some white felt fabric, which is what I used as
a backdrop on the photos that went up last night.  I plan to take a bunch
more close-ups and side-views maybe later this week if I can squeeze it in...
One thing I definitely also wanna show more of is standalone shots of the
owners/pilots/riders -- especially the Chokugeki pilot -- she's the baddest
and toughest!  :-s

I'm still also struggling with trying to make mounts for the baby dinos.  Got
character names for all of 'em but no good way yet to mount minifigs!  :-I

Hmm.  Have you tried using chains?  If you got the girth right,
you might be able to chain a small platform to their backs.  Plus,
the chains would make 'em look tougher.

Don't forget the spikey bits.
