Saber Tiger WIP Part 1: Head

Ok ok, I know that I said I'll start the WIP on Sunday but I'm weak so forgive me =P To make up for it I'll stage the build into parts and starting with just the head today.

I couldn't be bothered with taking a picture of all the parts pre-assembly so you'll have to take my word for it when I say there are 30 parts just for this section. Pretty big if I must say so myself.

First up is the canopy which is comprised of only 3 parts and 1 of the 2 transparent parts of this kit.

The 'skull' is fairly straight forward a solid construction and a really nifty feature is the dashboard piece which is heaps detailed.

Here we have the zoids namesake. The teeth are actually more of a creamy color than white and the only problem here was the smallest grey piece on the left which didn't fit properly so I had to bust out the hobby knife and make it fit lawl.

...and believe me when I say that the teeth are sharp

Finally some semblance as to what it should look like. The cheeks each are made up of 6 parts and here we also see the 'scruff' which is also molded in the reddy orange

Here is what the head looks like when completed and it is breathtaking. The red armor are loaded with minute details and it captures the fierceness of an over grown mecha tiger.

Nom nom nom nom nom...

I forgot to mention that the part count does not include the pilot cos I think its kind of lame to stick one in but if u must know the bugger consists of 4 parts torso legs and each arm.

Stay Tuned for more!
