Ok so heres the next part of the review and build up. For those following my progress I think you'll be as excited as I am. So without further ado lets dive in!
Immediately after the head is the neck. Simple affair with plenty of details and the first use of the chrome gold parts which are the hydraulics and the H shaped part is made from soft vinyl which are the mesh piping we'll see throughout the kit.
We are starting to see the streamlining of the Saber Tigers body already with the neck which tapers to the base and curves inwards at the throat.
The torso which is the largest section of the kit is composed of 55 parts. The picture I took is missing about 25 pieces cos I'm an idiot and by the time I realised my mistake it was too late to fix (read: too lazy.
For something made of so many smaller parts it is remarkably strong and here we can see the first example of moving hydraulics in the kit which slide in and out as the shoulder joints move. Ignore the giant gap in the middle as that's where the zoid core fits and we'll get to that in a sec.
Once the torso is put together it resembles something out of a tank with its bulk but the curvatures of the armor lends it the sleekness and rounds off the rough edges. Despite what the pictures look like it is much rounded in person and pictures just don't do it justice.
Here is the zoid core which I have to apologize for forgetting to take a pic of the parts but theres about 7 parts in total including the red orb.
Opens up so the core can be removed and played around with?
Here's whats been done so far.
Although its too dark I think it captures the Saber Tigers aggressiveness perfectly despite it being an amputee atm.
I also want to mention that the armor on the side of the torso can also shift around depending on shoulder movement.
I'll leave you guys here for now so sit tight for the next part!
