I received my HMM Liger Zero on Wednesday and since I've been itching to build something for a while I got started on it right away (and wash away memories of an unfortunate accident involving plamo some of you may know about).
First off is the box which is stupidly big for a kit of its size. Its a zoid comparable to the Saber Tiger and Lightning Saix. It has slightly more runners than the Saix but pretty much the same as the Tiger so dunno wtf happened with Kotobukiya here.
And here comes the wall of pics with almost no text =)
Can you see my other new baby?
And heres my progress for today.
Like most (all) Kotobukiya kits certain levels of effort are needed to make it look half presentable but since I'm lazy I've just did the bare minimum and cleaned up the parts and added some details along the way
The Liger uses a new type of shoulder joints. The blue thingo is hinged at the top under the OFF-WHITE/CREAMY(yuck) armor and can only swing upwards and since I haven't assembled the legs yet I'm not sure if the joint in the leg will allow it to swing back and forth
The Liger has more color separation than I initially thought it had
Front torso expands foward from mid-section and the sliding mechanism for deploying stabilisers.
Brown tubing is actually hard plastic and comes molded in the same light blue as the shoulder joint.
