WIP: SD Ryofu Tallgeese

Submission date was extended, managed to finish what I intended. Added 2 shields and connectors from 1/144 Tallgeese, to the hind legs. Underside of shield will be covered up.
*Yes, the idea came from Aussenseiter from SRW. ^^;
This will probably be the final pose.

Now I really hope I can make it in time.

About 1 week left to paint and do up a base.

WIP: SD Ryofu Tallgeese

Weapon sharpened using epoxy putty.Re-angle the horse tail higher, to better fit the "standing" pose.

A part of the weapon system, included in SD Ryofu Tallgeese. Since I'm not building the weapon system...

I'm using it to fill up the horse body, which are supposed to be wheels for the motorcycle mode. Nice mechanical details, suitable for the internal.Wanted the front legs to look more dynamic, with 3 points of articulation. Cut out the feet, will re-angle later using epoxy putty.

This will result the feet to be in a fixed position, but I'm fine with it since everything will probably be in a fixed pose.
