Okay, sounds cool. And honestly i just built Cetus here because I wanted to see if I could combine a Unenlagia, Demon's Head, and Mosasledge. Answer turns out to be "Yes and it looks pretty awesome." Or at least awesome to me. Stop doubting yourself! It looks awesome! :-) |

When ZP went down, all the images linked to old flickr accounts went with them. Unless those members come back and repost them, we no longer have a record of them. Most of the winners were Maethius and Rayse Tiger, so those should still be avaliable to see. Good thing I went through all the custom contests when I was archiving stuff from Zoidspoison, then  A bit of advice for Blox customs: try to buy Blox NIB wherever possible, because they usually come with lots of spare connectors, including the nice sturdy J6 pieces. |

Hellbound Crow yeah that's one lesson I learned from this. ALso turns out that my unenlagia which was marked as 'complete' only had FOUR blox. So I'm a blox short. that was frustrating. NIB Blox are like 5 times what they wanted in the stores originally though... 33.50 for a Leoblaze when originally they were like 5.50 or 6 bucks. Biggest dissappointment is the legs seem to want to curve in towards the body and it sags a lot. Or i could pose him in a cool rearing pose if his legs cooperated.. I still like him though. Imagine this beast coming tearing out of the water or from under ground, horns forward and weapons blazing. from underwater it could lead with a torpedo barrage. ANd it has good rear coverage, and with the tailsaw meant to be redesigned as a beam smasher it's quite a formidable weapon even if it can't spin forward. But it gives it some AA defense. ALong with the tail rifle.

Falcarius, you are the best!  Another miracle from the historian! I reinforce all my blox customs now with the J6 and its variants. They make classic Blox kits almost worth owning. Investing in at least 2 of the Blox CP Connectors and Blox CP set of 6 was one of the best things I have ever done. It helped me reconfigure Chimera Dragon into something I am actually proud to display, as opposed to the original abomination it was. All my Blox zoids have been "enhanced" thanks to the extra parts like the J6 and those connectors. |

Except how to introduce that is the problem to figure out, Hellbound Crow Not sure if simply rubbing tape on the joints will work or not. |

That is a good idea, I'll try that. or maybe glue stick glue? Would want to test that latter idea first though.

I think there's a gllue stick around here somewhere. but what rubber to try it with...I got sprues. I'll try a rubber eraser, seems about the same density and consistency. then see how tacky and strong the bond is between the two. |

I need more connectors to join them together and experimented with new feet arrangements. Only real improvement I made was turning Unenlagia's claws on the hind legs inwards.COuldn't find the tape to try introducing tackyness.

Here's the Scylla formation, slightly blurry. Added renforcement joint parts, 2 blox, moved the fins from the back to the weapon arms, added Unenlaga and Mosa heads, since Scylla had multple heads like a hydra  |
