[Xehn]

........awesome. I want one.

[Gojulas Omega]

This one is sure a big mean fish, hope it only eat MS, not human....

I like this fish, although you destroy so many good Zoids for this custom.... but it is really a good one.

[Raysetiger]

Thanks guys for the comments

@ Gojulas Omega, don't feel no way about me destroying so many good zoids. Those were mostly loose parts that I got from Daniel and whole zoids that had leftovers from past customs.
Glad you show some consideration for zoids, I myself hate destroying a whole zoid just to add a part for a custom. Thats why I always try to get loose parts from members here on the forums or to say buy cheap zoids.
thanks!

Good thing to hear that, but even you really destroy those Zoids, this custom is very good, so I won't feel sorry about those Zoids much. Although those Zoids may cost a lot, but a good custom is priceless.

Oh.. my lord.. I'm never swimming again...

[Maethius]

Super-quick uber-nod here ... posted my short summary on ZP. Love this entry, really big, tough, and mean looking! Well designed, well colored, makes a nice display... I think this one is swimming for the podium.

[Raysetiger]

@ Snowflake- LOL!

@ Maethius- I'm glad you love it. Thanks for the words.

[Ernestotaku]

Puf, just incredible.

Gojulas giga's mouth always give people a good result XD

[Raysetiger]

Thanks for the comment Ernestotaku.
I'll post a slideshow video link from youtube soon about this custom with extra pictures.

The true story behind Poseidon is that it was found at the depths of the ocean. The Blue Union's main hold is located above a plateau that is beside the Northern Ocean. When it was first found, this is basically what was left of its ancient body.




They seem to have found a fin - they are making this out. according to its remains, it seems that these are the armore parts of this zoid.


there was actually a lot more detail put into Poseidon but somehow I couldn't get the camera to capture it. For the most part, the tail came out well

In other words, it's not just some dark shiny blue color but has a few weathered effects on it, just look closely.

[Maethius]

The weathering being subtle was a very good idea, especially for a sea creature. Personally I am impressed how well a Dimetrodon body works for a fish! Brilliant! How do you even see that? Those tail parts fit so well together that they look molded for the custom; it really is impressive.

[Raysetiger]

Thanks for the words Maethius, you really see it all, your custom too - IS most impressive.

[Chuckles]

Your Poseidon is a very nice bit of work. Like most of your creations, the color scheme and build helps to give the zoid a feral appearance, making it look somewhat more organic than most zoids people are used to. The creative use of parts is always a plus and helps to play up Poseidon's role as a savage predator of the deep. It seems a little bit stiff, and I think it would help if the head could sweep from side to side the way the tail can.
