My progress for my custom Daizengar!!!    3 Boxes. Just like the Dendrobium.  I have small hand.  Not impressed for real...  Chrome parts.  95% of the joints are ratcheted! Only less than 15 polycaps were included. Let's start...  Took me 30 mins building the shoulder armor, lots of parts! Crazy!  Head comparison w/ the Non-Scale Dygenguar. I like how they implemented the chrome part underneath the eyes part. We'll see how it will turn out later.   The lights circuit. For the General Blaster effect!  This circuit contains the voice of Kenichi Ono to be installed at the chest of Daizengar. Haven't heard the clips yet. Now for the mods...  Will extend the thighs. I cut it w/ Tamiya Saw cutter.  I cut the belly too.  The Ball joint I will use, same as the one I used with my Deepstriker Custom.  Drilled a hole and glued the ball joint. Will apply milliput. Main body    W/ the Non-scale DGGXAM1  W/ the MMS Yoko and Yda Stradale.  W/ SOC Voltes V   Put a light in front of the eyes, it will glow. After 8hrs...  Joints are so tight that I feel like it will break but it won't as long you will not force it like any toy. You know, handle with care.  Each skirt has 4 articulation! you can pose the legs forward w/o the front skirt blocking it.   Even no mods, the articulation is very nice! Will update later! Thank you for viewing! vic01 |

Wow that is very cool. Will the mod just be for the spine or do you have other tricks up your sleeve?

Holy BAD WORD you're making me want one of these!  Very effective mods there, sir!  A couple questions for you. Is that a Hobby Base ball joint?? And will you use sheet styrene or milliput to extend the thighs? Great work, vic! |

Thanks everyone! ;D If you have the time, well money, and the love of Daizengar, this is highly recommended. I had a decision w/c one to buy, the Dengeki Volks Dygenguar or this after I saw the price from BBTS. Then I realized i can do something if I'll buy the kit, plus it is 1/144 scale w/c I like to collect like Gundams. It stands out! I think for the price, it worth it as long as I won't pay $300+! I've never seen a kit this size before (just don't count the Battleship Yamato). @mechaj: I will look for a horse from toysrus or target inscale w/ Dygenguar, hehe!!! @recca: Thanks man! Get one! I know youll finish it nice and masterpiece! I need your help when I paint this one ok?  BTW, the balljoints I used came from the stand of Elite Force. Nwayz, next updates I did yesterday, photobucket was on maintenance... Leg part  I used an acrylic rod as the foundation of my extended thigh. After gluing the ends, I put some milliput and waited to dry for 2 hrs... Then filled with milliput.  I want to extend the knee part but I don't want to take the risk of cutting it because the joint on the upper part of the knee is so tight compared to the lower part joint. It might break into half when posed. So I'll leave it like that.  The back part below the knee is spring-loaded.  So when DGG kneel down, it'll move down for additional range of motion. This is far it can go.  Light circuit w/ 2 LR44 button batteries. (not included)  Lights on!  Now for the whole body of the mech...  W/ his katana.   The size!!! ;D  Compared to 1/144 GFFMC Psycho Gundam  Underneath is the 1/144 GFF Shin Musha Gundam  Trying an action pose!  Here are the mods I will make: V-fin mod Faces mod Chest mod Torso Shoulder armor extensions Front skirts and side horns extensions Knee horn articulation Zankantou and Katana extensions I think after I've done those, I will paint it.  Will show more progress soon! Thank you for viewing everyone! vic01 |

Jeeze man, you're taking an already massive figure and making it even BIGGER, haha. That's crazy awesome.
You're going to have a devil of a time finding a place to put it once it's done. It may need it's own display cabinet, hehe.
