Like i Mention earlier, Leo san was 80 % complete, the rest of the 20% depends on my K9 hound pack conversion. I have always wanted to build a head for the Hound pack, i did consider Cats, husky, wolf and finally decided on a fox due to it's vibrant color that matches well with leo san.
To begin the build, the first annoying thing I found out was the back leg knee join which came off very easily no matter how it was bend, quite a bad design.
So finally I decide to swap the join parts from Age's elbow join, It was much more rock solid compare to the original.
And even cooler is the improvement of the overall bending.
Next comes the body, I made it fatter with some builder parts and pla plates
Rework the tail from the trooper drop ship, flip it under side
The reason why I wanted to flip it was due to the opening compartment that I need to have it connect to leo san's arm hard point.
And here is my main reason, converting the hound pack into a battle claw attachment, here is how the folded claw/leg look like
Test fit onto Leo's arm, I also need a small connector to fasten the pack on the arm
And there you have it, the complete battle claw attachment
The most challenging part was building the head, As you can see that the head was actually kit bash from various parts, the ears from SD wing custom, the eye piece from SD Queen Mansa detailed with builder parts mono eye and some Kato parts.
The mouth piece was a taken from builder parts wing component, the left over parts was use to make the neck.
I have to sand paper as thin as possible to stick it on a age 3 core fighter nose.
the face and head structure was actaully taken from SD wing custom shield
Last mod was modifying the anti tank rifle, I always love the aliens'pulse rifle and you can see how much it influnced the build, the exciting thing is that the rifle can be attached onto leo's round hand
lastly, primer time.
