Spectacular! I can't believe the progress you've made since the first page. I'm really just awestruck by this thing. Literally every addition has been perfect; the evolution of the design, the aesthetics, the choices of parts, the cannibalizing of certain zoids - it's all been perfect.
I mean, the legs! Those hamstrings (made of... what exactly? My zoids died long ago, but I recognize that body from somewhere. Lightning Saix?) are just phenomenal. They have the perfect proportions for a beast this size.
That snout! The extended jaw is flawless. Most customs nail it from a certain angle, but you got the width and length of the werewolf's face exactly right. Damn.
The claws! Seriously, they're perfectly long and gangly like the arms, and spindly and bony looking. Only thing I think they're missing is perhaps some asymmetry between right and left hand. This thing reeks personality, but it's so obviously a one-of-a-kind that the little things will be that much more noticeable.
And anyways, I'm just going to go gawk at the pictures some more. Have you thought of colors yet? And will the legs be pose-able? As beautiful as he is in full on attack-mode, I'd also love to see him hunched over, squatting, and brooding. I'm sorry for the suggestions, but this thing is so *Watch your language!* inspiring. I can't help but project what I'd do to it if it were mine.
Beautiful work.
PS. Not trying to knock you or Maethius, but I just wanted to point out the striking difference in style between the two of you. Maethius' customs always felt engineered and designed before hand, very meticulous. This werewolf feels more... feely? Like the design has progressed more naturally, more organically from the ground up. Bravo to both of you, and the eye-candy you've given to us all.

Like the design has progressed more naturally, more organically from the ground up. Bravo to both of you, and the eye-candy you've given to us all. Wow. Thanks for the high praises and compliments dude. thats a huge morale booster. The hamstrings or thighs"? i suppose, is actually the body of the shadow fox. i originally used the lightning siax but when i saw the beautiful details of the shadow fox body, i just had to use it lol. and you got another portion right too, "asymmetry". the arms are gonna be getting different blade type weapons for each arm. the other details that will flow suit would be the addition of spikes to various parts of the armour which should also be placed in different quantities on each side. Paints wise i haven't thought of anything.. but it will definitely be something dark coloured. thinking of colours that will make this look like an anti-hero kind of character. A zoid and its pilot that is sorta like a "mercenary that has warrior honour" lol.. the best i can relate to is the "predator". It basically Fights you because you are strong. And i have to agree on the way I'm doing the build. its really more of a "build as you progress" kind of mindset that i have, i don't plan for anything..its just more off trial and error lol. Im also a huge nerf nerd and this is also how i build my nerf guns lol. Maethius is a god at building these custom zoids and to have you compare my works to his is beyond any compliments i can get for this build. Thank you for appreciating my efforts ! i must not disappoint! |

some updates on the build. i fashioned these boosters for the werewolf by combining the berserk fury booster and the neck of the lightning siax. these would most probably be positioned around the hip / upper thigh area. I have something else for the back boosters though.   |

FOUR Boosters? ANd a different tail, okay, now I'm curious to what's being mounted. I'm already guessing the back mounted claws seen previously are a weapon system, perhaps combined with cannons in the claws or to aid grappling.

Is that a modified shock cannon for a tripple booster I see? Nice.

If I may add my two cents again, I would recommend not using them on the hips. Given that the reference pic, and almost every depiction of a werewolf has had the exact proportions you have already, you don't really need to worry about the balance. I just think it kills the silhouette of the zoid. If you have the of the back, you can make them look like it is apart of the mane of the wolf. For hip booster, I would try having something intergrated into the leg itself, like recessed in the back of the thigh maybe? Again this is mere suggestion. This is your custom. And you are doing a hell of a job on is to boot. I can't wait to see the final product! :-)

I'm also not a 100% convinced that hip trusters are at this size.. honestly it does look better when these thrusters open up at the back area lol. guess ill have to think of something else for the hips then. lol |

Nice. i suppose so lol.. i don't really know the names of these cannons.. i just fished them out from my parts bin in a "AHA!" moment It looks like a 3 barreled shock cannon, not sure what zoid it's originally from though. Probably a liger. Murasame perhaps? The cannons on the SHeildy, blade, and Zero are different or only ahve 2 barrels. Also, if you ahve gundam parts you could use leg or ankle thrusters from a Gundam or similar mobile suit. You'd have to cut up the armor till it fits on the leg though. If you can find one the proper size. |

Could also be simply a rear-mounted triple cannon, as well. Never assume your super-Zoid is safe from attack due to superness! After all, did the Deathsaurer really need those bitty guns? Well, had it used them to actually defend its fan, yep.
