Thanks to a few too many wholesale orders through my business, I just havent had, and won’t have, the time to get my entry finished, so I’m bowing out.
Good luck to all others who enter.
I’ll still be following and commenting though 🙂
More led work, 19 done so far, lord know how many more I’ll do.
Added a large thruster bell to the inside of the shoulder armour since I’m removing the 3 little pop out ones.
I’m massively behind schedule with this, and with more work on the horizon, I’m pretty sure I’m not gonna finish on time.
Ah well, soldier on.
Fitted some leds in the leg thrusters.
Had a few setbacks lately, but ha time to play again.
This time with the weapons.
Used a zoids double beam cannon set, but these things dont have grips since they’re normally…
First problem encountered with this resin add-on, thanks to resin shrinkage, the forearm covers no longer snapped into place properly, and the thruster flaps didn’t close a…
Evening spent test fitting the resin parts on my Sazabi.
The fit isnt the best, will take some sanding to sit well.
But I’ll be damned if that isnt impressive looking.
bought the resin parts years ago direct from the caster.
test fitter one of the arms too and it looks like theres been some shrinkage, so will DEFINITELY need a fair bit of work to make them fit -_-
My base kit arrived today, 2 days to get the the UK and then 5 days for customs to release it to me, gotta love our speedy customs service XD
This will have a resin conversion fitted along with a couple of leds, added surface detail and scribed panel lines, and a new weapon unit fitted.
Let the test fitting commence.
Man that’s a lot zeon kits there. Yeah I need to finish my own sazabi. It’s an amazing kit already and findin ways to improve it will be a challenge in itself. I can’t wait what you’re going to do with this one.
Only 5 days in customs? I’m from Poland. One of my last packages (from November 2016) spent 3 weeks in customs. Sent on 2nd of November reached Customs on 8th and was delivered on 29th. I needed to call them many times and they were always saying that they will send it right away.
But fortunately that was one time, usually takes up to 3 days.

Turns out I CAN’T use the Sazabi ver ka I won as a prize last time as a base for my entry, so guess who’s just ordered another one XD
Hey at least I’ll get the premium decals with this one.
Q. Can I enter with a kit that I didn’t purchase from HLJ?
A. You can use a kit that was not purchased through hlj.com, however, you will need a customer account in order to submit your final entry and receive any prizes should you win.

I think they should be OK (would count them as details) but you might try msg Syd or Todd (you can find his name in member list of this group. He is either first or 2nd). Im going to use some precision machined sockets parts in my build and like hell HLJ is selling those ^^
Can I just get some clarification, does the kit HAVE to have been bought off HLJ?
the rules say that
“Entries can be made using any combination of any model kits which were/are available for purchase on hlj.com”
but also
“Prize winners may be asked to prove the entry was originally purchased from hlj.com”
“The rules have been clarified to state clearly that the kit can be purchased from somewhere other than HLJ.com however you will need a customer account at HLJ.com in order to submit your final order and claim any prizes.”
After all this work do you think you’ll do it a second time for the Banshee? I’m just imagining them standing next to each other phasing through colours at the same time
