enter image description hereI would like to mount the head of the Dino Triceratops, Item No: 30460, onto a brick/connector so it would be possible to fix it to a wall or over a door entrance. Any ideas on that?

I don't have this particular piece but my advice for most 'non-standard' connections such as these is to use a part that is flexible enough to fit the gap.

The 'Technic, Axle Connector Double Flexible' piece under compression can make a snug enough fit to mount a sharks head.

In this example, you can use two Technic Axle-Pin attached to another two Technic 1X1 bricks.

If you turn the rubber brick 90 degrees on it's side and place two of them together you might be able to attach something that isn't as wide.

  • very clever. not sure if the dino head connector is wide enough for this exact solution. I have to try. But the idea is inspiring to think out of the box, thanx. – fabian Jan 05 '18 at 17:06

  • Reconstructed Ambo100's nice entry, which works beautifully for
    Mr. Shark, but the width is too sore for Lady Dinosaur.

The horn piece I have from an old castle set, and you can grab it with minifigure hands. I can't think of a visually appealing way to mount it by the horn,but it is still an option.

  • visually interesting idea. I think in this case the minifig concept would not fit to the requirement of the project but I will keep it in mind. – fabian Jan 05 '18 at 17:20
