Zoid: Minifig Scaled

[Brickmaster]

Well, among the brickshelf zoid find, I took my own challenge and decided to build a minifigure scale zoid! :-)

I worked on it for a day, for a few hours, and just put on the last touches before I took these photos.

I modeled it mostly after a particular zoid that a mercinary in season one drove.. I think it was Jack Sisco or something? And it was called.. a lightning saix? (prounounced 'psych')

I am actually kinda happy with it, it's ment to be a super fast zoid, and it looks pretty slim. The design of zoids was much boxier than I originally expected - especially the liger zero 8-

Wow, this is really great! A lot better than I expected. It could use some weapon systems though.

Funny, my sig-fig's name is Jack Cisco(pronounced the same as sisco I suppose) I must have remembered the name subconciously or something. :-D

Or maybe I totally ripped it off. X-D

Thanks for the comments guys *sweet* So far I've beefed up the paws, and am currently building a weapons system, basically just a huge mounted gun. Other than that I think im just going to leave it as is untill I decide to take it apart :-$ The more I look at it the more I see how wrong I am and better ways to build it :-X (Just limited on parts, so I cant..)

You passed the challenge, my friend! Great work! The posibality is awesome! I know exactly who and what you are talking about! Yeah, Sisco was a mercenary, his zoid was super fast and was black and red. I was wondering, though if you ever tied your cat down to figure out the joints for your zoid! :-D I really like the cockpit. I would have never figured out how to make the windows look that good! I wouldn't have used those glass pieces like that! I wish the feet on this mech coulda been a bit more detailed and mechanical though, and maybe some more thickness in the tail, but this is still some great building here! I'd say your better at making zoids than making Halo right now! :-D

Thank you *wub* These comments mean alot to me *sweet* My biggest challenge was the head aswell, I overall came out pretty happy with it :-$

For the joints, what I did was (just like my scarab model) was look at a picture and megablocks the limbs, then I would get some joints and plates and build a skeleton of the whole model, so I can see if the joints and such will work - this is what I did for here and my scarab ;-) Then when I get the skeleton satisfactory I encoat it with bricks to make it look like the model :-) I kindof looked at ligers and yes, my cats movement :-D (though he was voulintarily sleeping on my lap instead of tied down) ;-)

Very cool, Brickmaster! The head is very well done, even more so because it can hold a MF! Great job! *y*
