I just thought not every collector is lucky enough to find or afford a MIB complete Ultrasaurus, some may only find broken ones missing parts with no instructions etc.. so I thought taking photographs of the build could help collectors in that situation to reference parts and where they go without hunting the internet for bad scans of the original instructions unnecessarily or paying eBay prices for an original copy. This isn't a parts list or step by step but general coverage of the whole build. A few things of note, this isn't the chromed version thankfully so no chrome will be falling off, I guess they realised chrome plated plastic didn't live up to the hype and is expensive; this is the black base body factory painted silver so it's also easy to touch up any sprue marks with silver marker as I have done. The red clear canopy covers can similarly be touched up with a red marker. The sprues/runners have no letters on them so it's best to identify them at the beginning and mark them with the appropriate letter on a bit of tape attached to the sprue. I also found with a large build like this that cutting off all the rubber caps and wheels first saves a lot of time. I've hidden the cable for the lights under the armour not as per the instructions but lubricated it with silicone grease to stop it getting snagged, I also had to file out a little bit of the first section of the tail to allow the wire to pass through. I hope this helps someone someday  .
FORGOT THE CROSSBAR, DON'T DO THAT! 
STILL NO CROSSBAR YET..
THIS IS THE STAGE I SPOTTED MY MISTAKE AND CORRECTED IT.
I'LL KEEP THE STICKERS FOR A 1/6 SITH BUILD AS THEY WOULD JUST GET LOST ON THIS GUY!

That is one pretty Ultra. I'd love to get one eventually. I guess I didn't realize there was a chrome and non-chrome version.

Congrats again what a pleasure to look at this beautiful Zoid! I like this design especially in the Zoids 2 Version the most next to the OJR.
I guess this version is also not very common in such a complete condition.
Very good idea to put the cable into the armor looks way better!

That great deal on eBay UK has been relisted, a complete Z2 Ultra, Z2 Gojulas and a third Z2 one I forget which is "Buy Now" for a 100gbp, not bad as the gbp is quite low now thanks to Brexit!.

I like the zoid as it is and not every custom is a plus for me so i guess yours is better.

I prefer the custom but then it wouldn't fit in on my old school Zoids shelf I guess..
