So I have been thinking of getting another Zoid recently like a genosaur or a lighting saix, what did I pick?
A Red Horn which is none of the above and something that Kotabukya doesn’t want to restock at HLJ which sucks. that aside I have been keen to get back into a model and do something special as well.
I’m going to ask for some F1 custom waterslides from them. Should’t be too expensive. Since I’ve tried waterslides I ain’t going back to regular stickers ever again. At least not those big ones anyway.
I like red, but white will be nice as well, i guess. Where did you get the red horn from ? beside HLJ , most of amiami + other quite famous shop are always pre order or back order ! T_T
My Zoids are coming soon , more photos update soon
I actually got this at a collectible store, of course I pay a bit more but I get it now. I was thinking of other schemes and White has come to my mind as well and if I could get a light blue to match that would be awesome.
OK this is how much of a noob I am.
When Bandai give their colour callouts in the instructions WHAT COLOURS/MANUFACTURERS are they referring to?
Please help.
Even though what tetsujin says is 90% true I think I’ve read somewhere that it’s referred to Mr.Hobby paints. If you want to go by the book anyway. I like mine anime-accurate so I mostly use wiki for photos/pictures, mixing paints as best as I can to get that or as close to that shade I can. If I miss a shade or two in between, it’s not a huge disaster. 🙂
Thanks for you thought’s on this. Somehow I can’t help but think that Bandai are missing out here by not having a dedicated range of paints. Yes I know they have their pens but I think they would fly off the shelf’s.
What do you think?
And even their pens come from the same company that makes Mr.Hobby stuff, GSI Creos. So there has to be some sort of an agreement between them. Not so much as a partnership as much as a “deal” thing Tim mentioned. To be honest, I’m more than happy to splash ANY kind of paint onto that plastic. With a little effort any model, be that a resin or…[Read more]
Thank Tim & Dan your right on the money there with what your saying. I looked a little deeper into this and I seams to be Mr Hobby all the way. It’s a shame as its hard to get in the UK unless you buy it off eBay and then it’s the waiting time.
So many thanks guys.
I’ve got the same problem here. Therefore I use whatever I have at the moment. Some of the more exclusive paints I get online while the others I mix myself using what enamels I can find. A lot of people use Mr.Hobby paints but I’ve never used them. Tim here loves them. Aqueous more than the rest. Right now I’m thinking of experimenting with Alclad…[Read more]
I just finished the shield liger kit yesterday. It is very nice, when all the panel lines are done. I did not silver highlight as much as the earlier posting.
I applied a flat top coat over the kit, and it looks much better. The pics above was before the coating. It looks a lot more “solid” now, too bad the photos do not show the result properly.
Yeah I definitely agree, the flat coat works wonders on it. I think it might be the type of plastic they use for the Zoids? When I see them assembled but unpainted they look a bit toy-ish but after you coat them they look much nicer.
80% Finish lighting saix yesterday, just need put armor on . Not quite happy with this kit because their join are not very good design , easy to fall off 🙁
That is rather disappointing to see joints are loose. I believe this was a reissue of a older kit (was just the lighting saix from New Century I think, no extra amour.) that might explain some things. Looks great anyway which is the main point.
Putting the armour on, was the most difficult struggle of my life LOL. I was really frustrated!! it was so difficult, things wouldn’t stay put and something falls out/off. I felt like i needed 10 hands. That or I am just not deemed “pro” enough.
