HMM Blade Liger

[Fox]

Hehe, finally took photos after I finished him.



The build: Took me 23 hours, and there are many small bits and pieces. Be careful, as there are some very brittle pices that could snap(The fins are quite fickle, so I recommend you glue them on in a way that still aloows poseablility, but will prevent any snapping).

If you like challenging kits, I'd recommend yo buy this. But I wouldn't encourage you get it if you don't like forcing bits together, and long-term projects.

The good: He's very poseable, the claws are my favorite part of the kit, as they can move. They can also survive nose-dives to the floor if glued properly(I don't reccomend you purposely kick him off a desk).

The bad: Some pieces don't fit together right unless you force them, cut, or glue. There are also places that need heavy glueing if you don't want it to fall apart.

Overall: A decent Zoid..I kind of want to buy the HMM Geno Saurer and Command Wolf now, just to have them all together. ^^;

Wow, he looks great.

Of all the HMMs, I like the Blade Liger the best.

The display base would look really cool if it was painted blue around the perimeter and white in the center.

[Fox]

I like him best out of most of the designs..Though I wouldn't mind getting a Sabre Tiger..

It's not a display base, it's a drum pad. D: I don't think I should paint it..

[Zoidmagnite]

I don't know every drummer, but the few I did know were very protective in regards to their equipment.

I figured it was broken beyond repair. My bad.

[Fox]

Nah, it's ok. I just use it for practice, since I cannot afford a drum set. :] I don't want to paint it, and then ruin the job with the sticks. XD

[vasha]

cool you drum. Me too.

I think I might get this.

So what should I know? And what about gluing where?

[Fox]

Cool, I love drumminmg. :]

Well, first off, DON'T glue the back legs to the body, I did that, and I regret it. He's not as poseable as he should be. :[ Glue the armor and the "whiskers" on the face so they don't fall off.

Though it may be different for you if you buy one, some people complain abou the feet falling off, or the legs. Just put it together first, and glue when you've determined what needs it..

Be careful when cutting out the pieces, some are very thin and fragile. And you may need some sandpaper if you want to fix any flaws you make if you cut with a knife of small scissors.
