It's a Pterodactyl Chest! The Dino Megazord continues...

I'm continuing my passion project/series and re-creating something that defined my childhood. I'm redesigning and building the original combining Megazord from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The second Zord is the pink ranger's "Pterodactyl that turns into a chest" Zord.

And a HUGE thanks to all the support from everyone on Patreon!

you know what they say, one mans trash is anothers trash but more useful to them.

11:34 One phrase in the hobby that's recently surfaced with the new fans is that "Gunpla is freedom"
You're not destroying Gundam kits, but rather utilizing parts to express your creative freedom, which ultimately is the goal of Gunpla building. So keep on doing what you're doing

Studson’s partner: He’s probably thinking about soap bottle plastic

Studson: ✨soap bottle plastic✨

I like the color choices--pink for the pterodactyl mode when it's a solo vehicle and then red for when it'd be the chest of the Megazord to maintain color palette cohesion

[SZvenM]

Damn, those 100 pizza tables could've been the new horseshoes! You could have built lore around them as you used them up in every build, and then, eventually, you could have built the 1000-armed pizza baker! It would have been so epic

[WhtvrHpns]

Bro this megazord aboutta be sick. If you kept this series going for every power rangers reboot, you'd have an army of post apocalyptic megazords! and if the parts were interchangeable? That'd be crazy

12:32 "give me your fingernails" is a brave thing to say in a video that mentions an open PO box

[VoidWalkerOblivion]

That colour job was actually really clever. By having the colours on opposite sides, because of how the transformation occurs the result from a "toy" perspective is that the pterodactyl is pink by the megazord is red.

[shadowscribe]

Fantastic work. I'm tickled it has better proportions and superior wings and feet without resorting to eventual partsforming.

[nomoretwitterhandles]

This is such a minor thing to be happy about, but I'm really glad you put CC on your videos. It makes it so much easier to "hear" what you are saying, and that means a lot to people who are HOH like me!

[laraschroeder]

The pink ranger would definitely commend you for not being a coward and adding pink. It used to make me SO MAD as a kid. The compromise you went with with having the model be red when its a chest piece but pink in pterodactyl mode is perfect! The articulation really shines with the color choice, as you can see it get more and more pink. Awesome job recreating my favorite power ranger's ride!!!

[xicufwm]

omg, I love how engineered this was! The perfect fold of the wings and neck was the cherry on top. Clearly this is very well planned for when the full Megazord is assembled!

[PartlySmith]

I hope that ending was foreshadowing for your next build: Mecha Baby Sinclair

[riloh]

Thumbs up for the J.D.P.T.E technique. 😆 I laughed so hard I wrenched my back. Still kept smiling though.

[justingarner]

At this point, my kids watch these with me in eager anticipation for the inevitable horseshoes and the deity they represent! They lose it every time our hooved master makes their appearance on screen! Thanks for the good time, every time.

[jared]

This was an incredible model making. A fabulous followup to the triceratops. And equally as inspiring. Some of these tricks I'll be applying to my own work. Truly a job well done

[davidnelson]

Studson - this is such a cool project. I am so excited to see what you make for the rest of the Megazord. Thank you for all the entertainment and inspiration!

[TheEshy]

I can only imagine this build is going to become more difficult as you progress. I cant wait to see how you overcome the challenge of making all the parts combine.

[kkoal]

8:15 your editing is So good and funny, it really sets you apart from other sculptors and absolutely keeps me coming back ❤️♥️

That black thing is a snap on mask attachment for safety glasses 😊
