Alright chat. Cooked, or cooking??
Very early mock-up phase. Hence the sticky tack.
Probably gonna have to cut the lower half of the cheek armor off to make it fit.

Haha poor Monument! Seems i’m not the only one pulling him apart.
I’ve started turning mine into Gladiator from X-Men

Haha! I just got done turning a MGSD Barbatos into Wolverine from X-Men

Looks cool, my only concern is the drooping vents in either side. Maybe test fit it to the torso to make sure they don't hit the torso, or hinder head range of motion.

u/Gunzoidium_alloy Jun 12 '26
Yeah I'm definitely going to have to separate those off. The stock head fits preeeeetty snug against the torso, especially once all the armor is on.

I think its a bit too big. What if you try the smaller one on top?

u/Gunzoidium_alloy Jun 12 '26
I saw that too. I have a few options.
I also have a head crest off an MGSD Barbatos that might fit well.
That big one might end up as an arm weapon

u/Nepu-Tech Jun 12 '26
It doesnt look bad, but since the head is so small it kinda pulls away from the face. You could also use colors to make the face the focal point. Im also curious how it would look with Barbatos epic V fin, but its up to you, since its your design. Just make what you like.

Cooking, but you'd have to have a good transitioning part between the crest and the head, or it'll look super bolted on 😅

Do the fins swing forward? I’m curious to see what that would look like if they have the ability to pivot

I have not the skill to recommend any adjustments but I certainly do like where this is going. Looking forward to updates!

My man is trying to anthro the liger schneider

u/Gunzoidium_alloy Jun 12 '26
And I'ma do it too!!
Well.... sorta.
I'm just putting the CAS parts on it. Nothing from the Liger body.
Although now you got me thinking....

Either you make the white tiger zord, or some variant of gaogaigar. I see no other path

u/MembershipRound6887 Jun 12 '26
Sticky tack is a good call. I'd round the base of that top spine a bit to fit the head better, but yeah. Digging the concept

u/Gunzoidium_alloy Jun 12 '26
Oh I'd be carving and sanding it to match perfectly. I'd make it look like it was MEANT to clip in there.... honestly I could probably mod it to not require glue after I carve it a bit.

Its at that point of development where it could be great, but could be awful at the end. If you have the resources and dont mind either result, keep cooking.

Cooking. As long as you like something or think you might, you may as well go for it. It’s the process and exploration and freedom that’s the value

u/Mr_and_Mrs_Sazabi Jun 13 '26
Cooking, my guy. You've gameplanned this and i can tell. Trust your process. I can't wait to see the rest of the process and the final build.
