Are you okay? BUSTAH TORTOISE!

 

So I wasn't aware how small Buster Tortoise would be until I got it in the mail...

Yeah, that's tiny. For those who want to know, that's my HMM 1/72 Berserk Fuhrer box (which is the same size as the Red Blade Liger box) under it for scale. I didn't bother taking a picture of the frames, but suffice it to say, there was maybe only a third of what came in the box of the Red Blade Liger, and likely the Berserk Fuhrer.

The head unit already complete. Inside the cockpit is a tiny little blue pilot made up of four even smaller pieces because they know just how to kill my hands.

The Zoid core, right side up and upside down.

Zoid core installed in the body. This one is actually really neat, as you have to slide it up from the bottom, then twist it to lock it into place, creating a sort of nearly seamless effect. I should have taken a picture...

A good chunk of it is already done. This will be a fast kit, I can feel it.

 

UPDATE THE FIRST;

So here's all the frames of the kit. It's pretty small.

The back end. It has a fake face to fool predators.

The gun, finished. It's frankly ridiculous and could pass as a spaceship.

It looks like the lower half of a robot, but it's a set of stabilizers for when that big ass gun goes off.

And so he's done. About 10 hours of my life well spent.
