I started this around Monday and finally finished it. Goal was for the armor to be removeable. Based it more on how It looks in the anime.

Absolutely beautiful! Stunning work on modding the kit to fit the HMM.

How should I say.. That's a nice lookin' zero pheonix!

That looks really great! Love the results... you did a great job!

This is really really great! How did you go about converting flimsy blox pieces into armor that matched the proportions of the HMM kit?

I would love to see any build photos you have of this custom, as well!

I really didn't take any build photos, I was to caught up in making everything fit, building the kit and the constant paint layers. Here's some pictures of that show how the armor bits fit. I mainly sliced and trimmed parts of the Zero armor and glued then into the Phoenix parts. In theory its not that hard, but it was the trial and error of ensuring things fit well onto the Liger body after trimming and glueing that took a while. Some pieces I had to try a few times to ensure would fit correctly. Now everythig is removeable thankfully.

Like so many great customs, all the real work is invisible on the surface. Thanks for the additional pics! I've tried to make sure I take plenty of build photos... sometimes I congest my drive with hundreds too many, and other times I realize I missed a critical in-progress shot. In the end, though, it's the final build that matters.

Holy crap you are dedicated!

Seriously, great work.
