The Custom Alternate Build/Combo Model Topic

How did I miss that Zyglak when you first posted it? This is glorious.

The head shape is awesome, and there are plenty of features brought over form the original model. Great job.

Where do you start with the combo model?

Do you mean how I get my ideas? or do you mean something else.

If the first, I kind of just picked a few sets I had, disassembled them, and tried to find interesting part combinations. Like the Mantis I saw the blade pieces and noticed a claw shape I could use, emulating an insect. For the Fireflyer, I was trying shaping with the orange V on the torso. I had built those two around the same time so they are pretty similar. For the Zyglak it was a combination of the colors and the head shape that made me see a similarity to the original combiner, and then try an execute that with the parts I had. Hopefully that answers your question.

I suppose I should add this:
Riwai
it should be noted that one of the tan 90 degree connectors should be black (one from Pohatu got mixed in somehow)

I recently picked up 2 of the Ninjago polybag 30591 Titanium Mini Mech and built this guy out of the pieces. He kinda looks like a mix of Matoro Mahri and Pohatu Phantoka.

With the parts from these sets you’ve done really well! I would have been so happy to get something like this for a set or official combo model

You could just change them out for the orange ones from Slicer, though.
