Ever just wake up and tell yourself, “I’d really like to start building a Liger today”? #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo 
Liger project got sidetracked; been busy this week. It’s just as well as there’s a lot of kit to work on (there’s actually a divider in the box).
Still test fitting, but I think I have to paint and assemble parts by section to get it done. #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo

WIP: Snap fit of the head assembly (sans canopy). Looks so good. Now to figure out how to paint it. #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo
After several weeks off the project, found time today to lay down some primer and a basecoat for the blue parts. #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo
I know it’s been a while, but I managed to get back to work on the Liger. Painted the remaining pieces of the head assembly.
Ended up with what I think of as “Intenso Blue” (Cobalt Blue over a Sky Blue undercoat). #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo

Three months later (because life), we’re done with the Liger’s head.
Now I’ve got an extra bit of motivation to finish the kit.
Of course, if that doesn’t happen I could always mount this somewhere… #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo

Moved on to body assembly (snap fit). I believe this is the rear third.
Kinda looks like an engine block, doesn’t it? #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo

Done with the snap fit for the torso and Zoid core chamber. Have to break this down into blocks to paint it efficiently. Lots of opportunity to add details, too.
Also, compared to the bare plastic I think my shade of blue rocks. #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo

WIP update: Finished the torso, tail, and Zoid core to go with the head. Just the weapons and legs to go! #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo
This is the “Assemble two of these! “ and “Assemble four of these!” snapbuild stage of the build.
That’s the job when you decide to work on a model of a mech that’s a quadruped. #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo

Tried painting the cables/hoses on the thruster assembly, among other details. Not entirely sure I was successful. #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo
The casing for the Liger’s booster packs have an unfortunate seamline that I’m gonna try to erase.
Kinda tricky as they assemble around the thrusters underneath, which I’ve already painted (hence the extreme masking). #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo

Seam removal was…not successful (mainly because I ran out of putty). But it’s not too bad. I’ll take the L. #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo
I woke up one morning thinking I’d like to build a Liger.
That was four months ago. #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo

Here’s a shot of all the paint that went into the Liger, plus the nine square centimeters worth of nubs I ended up with when I was done. #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo
No matter what I do, I can’t fit this kit into my lightbox. Alas, I’m also scratching off paint everywhere when I articulate it so unfortunately can’t take many staged photos. #ゾイド #プラモ #zoids #plamo
