Time to unleash what's hidden in my work in progress. I 've started this diorama earlier this year but have been making a slow progress. The diorama is called Sazabi: Hasshin! [gesundheit!] which means something like "Sazabi: Launch!" in Japanese. This is going to be a mod job + diorama.

The OOB build up of the MG Sazabi is a bit ugly to me. It has an ape-like proportion. The arms, when straightened can reach up to the knee <_< . That was the first thing I modify. I cut the lower arm by 2mm and the upper arm by 1mm. You can see the cut marks highlighted in the red box.

The leg joint in groin area is static. It doesn't give the pose that I want to achieve in this build. I modify the joint by cutting them up and using thick brass rod, I reattach them in an angular position.

Planned work are extension on the torso sides to give the Sazabi a more menacing and bulky look.

The head - still in orginal state.

Shoulder joints was extended at approximately 3mm to accomodate torso modification and for mobility purpose.
