Sorry, i keep forgetting to put things on here. I dont know many of you on deviant art, so i will share some here as well. This was my first posable zoid project, so it was a learning adventure. I've still got some plans for upgrades on this guy, so there might be more one day. For now, i consider this project closed at the moment, and i am working on a Shadow fox that i am making posable and then i shall paint my HMM Shield Liger! woo! Take a look and let me know what you think!

Oooh I like this. Especially the new pipes on the neck. Nice work!
BTW, is the tail flexi wire? I can't really see it too clearly in the photos.

(Like I said, I forget to comment. XD)
I like how this looks! It has a bit of a grungy(or metallic? *squint* Damn these glasses) look, which I dunno if that's dust or not but I LOVE how it looks on the zoid, intended or not. (maybe it's just flat grey and my monitor is fussy, but I still like it. XD)
And the red stripes made with thicker paint to stand up really makes it stand out, I like that!

Very nice work!
Was it tricky to get the legs connected solidly to the body?
The paint work is really nice too. Lots of detail color.

Thanks so much, everybody! Your comments are all too kind. This kit was a blast to work on, and went by much more smoothly than i expected. I'll gladly do another once i get some time. BTW, is the tail flexi wire? I can't really see it too clearly in the photos. Yep! You called it. I snagged some electrical wire from work. (forgot what gauge, sorry!) I simply cut out the middle of the tail, drilled some holes in the body connector and tail end, and glued in the new wire. It worked brilliantly. I highly recommend doing this on any liger kit! (Like I said, I forget to comment. XD) I like how this looks! It has a bit of a grungy(or metallic? *squint* Damn these glasses) look, which I dunno if that's dust or not but I LOVE how it looks on the zoid, intended or not. (maybe it's just flat grey and my monitor is fussy, but I still like it. XD) And the red stripes made with thicker paint to stand up really makes it stand out, I like that! Great! Thats the way it was supposed to look. I wanted him to look weathered or worn, like he has been around for a bit. Very much like an old team member or a partner, of sorts. ;D Very nice work! Was it tricky to get the legs connected solidly to the body? The paint work is really nice too. Lots of detail color. Many thanks! The legs werent too bad, it took some fiddling with to make the legs the correct length from the body. Otherwise, it was just a matter of using plastic weld/cement to fix the bionicle joint to the inside of the leg. Here is the frame under the body panels so you can see were the joints lie in comparison to the motor.

Excellent work. So, you even added some body flexibility with this design? If so, bravo!
