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

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

Bravo, Todd! (...) 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. Jeff Elliott (26 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.duplo, lugnet.build.mecha)
