Hi, here are some WIP Dino-Riders customs I'm working on. Hopefully this helps get more customs by others. Dino Riders is a fun toy line. If you have any comments or questions, plz post.
I'll start with the Allosaurus custom. The main body is from the Jurassic Park toy line, IMO it's an excellent sculpt.
NOTE: I uploaded a 7mb zip file containing 50 WIP higher res pics, you can download it here:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/hab0mvmh46bh9y3/AllosaurusUpdate1.zipThis is how I shape the brainbox/helmets and harness so that it fits perfectly. Basically I use strips of 0.5-0.75mm thick styrene plastic, tape it down, then use a heat gun to soften the styrene and use my fingers to conform it to the shape of the dino.

then I build up the thickness using more styrene and filler


Same with the harness:

neodymium magnet magnets are excellent easy attachment/removal, very strong hold

Main body armour and Gun


made a seat belt to hold the figure in place. I also recasted the Rulons series 2 figures, I'll get to that at a later post.

Work in Progress....
