LIGER SHARK
This is a custom ZOID I built for a contest.
It started out as aLiger Zero X, seen on the right. But I swapped the gear
box out with a larger gear box from a Redhorn. This makes the overall body
1/2" longer, 1/4" taller and 1/8" wider. The body panels were extinsivly
cut and spliced to fit the new gearbox. I mixed and matched the regular
style LZ armor and the LZX armor for the body and head. And of course where
the custom gets it's name from is the chopped and reshaped parts from a
Hammerhead shark ZOID.

This is the ZOID stripped down of it's
Shark Suit. The tail piece is also removeable, but I forgot to do so for
the photo. All of the parts layed out are derived from the Hammerhead and
the Viking Lance CP kit. Just about all of the Hammerhead was used, other
then the canopy , motor and internal moving parts. The head and side sponsons
were used to make armor for the hind legs.

Partially stripped down, you can see the modified
head. It has the burster guns mounted on the chin, and a custom set of
side frills with shark gills.

Stripped down before painting. With the leg removed
you can see the gattling gun mounted on the chest andthe chest burter gun
up on the chin.

The underside of the breast, I even used the
