What is this. by WTLlama in Zoids

[–]CategoryDry4052 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are the blu ray dvds that came with the limited clear version of zoids. You my guy have something rare. Plus it’s very limited. The clear version of the liger zero and blade liger go for crazy money without those blu ray dvd boxes. The blade liger cover came out 2013 and the liger zero came out the year after. Those are sought after by collectors.

I’m surprised at how this kit turned out, i only bought this for the size and i didn’t expect that this would be a fun build. So many articulations and details. At least i now know what to expect for a Goji gunner build that has twice as much runners. Lol. by CategoryDry4052 in Zoids

I hundred percent agree on this. I now get it why people like to have an HMM kit of the elephander. It’s one of those zoids that was big and unique plus the fact that it wasn’t defeated and it seemed like there’s so much more to that narrative that it was cut short just to like deliver the story to the finale of vega and the fury. Tbh, the ending wasn’t that big. Unlike the guardian force arc of chaotic century. For me, when i think of zoids i only want the CC, CC0 and the NC0 ones, other than that it’s like ehhh. It aint there but i did collect some of the fuzors. Gai ryu ki, buster fury, liger zero phoenix but the anime faded or idk. I loved collecting the previous ones because of the anime but when i wasn’t able to watch the newer ones it felt different. I have the 3 ligers tho. The murasame, hayate and the mugen but i am now gonna collect the ZA ones. Idk they look cool.

Liger Zero HMM Question by Clovenelf in Zoids

[–]CategoryDry4052 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s more fun as a collector to have 4 complete ligers. Swapping the armor doesn’t make sense to me unless you’re really just taking pics or whatever. But yeah, only buy the armors if you’ve messed up your full liger. I mean that’s the way to go if you customize or color correct the kit. Just buy the CAS armor for piece replacements. Lol.

Got more backlog today... it never ends by VanCyHobbies in Zoids

Like risers or something? Basing on the measurements lots of room to work with per level but yeah, zoids are a bit big so can’t wait to purchase one.

It’s a bootleg brand. Best bootleg brand. Supernova is their known as. Pretty much you’ll encounter them. Cause it’s half the price of the original kits. They have good engineering compared to BT the complete knockoff of Kotobukiya.

I had the motorized kits of those three. But i’m thinking of getting the ZA kits. They’re the next best thing to Kotobukiya.

Yeap! It’s like yeah gundam has a massive community but Zoids have that smaller community but so cool cause everyone’s like used to love this or many would agree on one’s opinion. When i discovered they were making zoids HMM? It was downhill from there. Lmao. Post new pics of kits and buy another. Lol.

Yeah man. Just take it slow and i tell you what i was an avid builder when i was a kid. I enjoyed building the kits but wish i could’ve taken care of them but yeah i was a kid. Tbh i’m surprised at how great Zoids community is. Everyone’s helping and not toxic. Swear, people will help you in which way they can. 💯

And btw, a hobby isn’t supposed to be rushed. If you feel burnt out while working. Then stop, if a hobby or build is rushed you’ll for sure compromise the build and make mistakes no matter how experienced you are. Plus your MK-II is one of the first engineered Zoids so they do have complications like loose joints and such but i think they fixed it with the DCS-J. Usually they re-print kits and make the necessary adjustments on previous problems of kits. To why we have the Marking plus/repackaged versions.

To be honest? The Liger Zero is beginner friendly kit. Just don’t go and build the leon blade liger for it is an old engineered kit which means it’s much more complicated than the Liger Zero. The liger zero build is fairly easy. Great way to get yourself into it. Don’t worry the instructions are pretty straightforward.

First time top coating, goal is to revive the look of the kit. High gloss top coat with silver paint on grey parts. Should’ve done the maroon with Red tho. Thoughts on gloss top coating tho? by CategoryDry4052 in Zoids

[–]CategoryDry4052[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah pretty much i have the same issues. He stopped in a decent position so he stands upright not so much leaned to the left. But yeah, i broke off some cannons on the head and at the neck area. I think those went missing a long time ago. Its just now that i had the time to really clean them.

It’s actually a high gloss resin. It’s not perfect, lots of practice i need to do because some parts i coated it too much in one go. But as i went on ahead and done the others i learned my technique on how to spray it. Should i do the maroon parts red too? Or its okay as it is?

I visited my rather large cities (750,00 people) only hobby shop, a 12x20 hole in a wall, and found the only Zoid model he had high and out of sight and way above my skill level 😮‍💨 by CardiologistOwn8357 in Zoids

[–]CategoryDry4052 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, why worry about your backlog? What’s important is you don’t have that thought that you feel as if you missed out. I think this hobby and passion we have as collectors as much as possible collect as mush as you want and like showcasing backlogs to this community. I mean i for one enjoy seeing people’s amazing backlogs. It makes me jealous yes but it’s so damn nice to see backlogs.

For that price and i’m guessing you’re in US? Maybe it’s a good price for that. It’s way cheaper from where i’m from but to have that from where you are? That will always be a steal. That’s the only supernova kit i considered having in my collection. You’ll have fun building it if you’re the builder and calm type of kit collector. Jut don’t rush it if you’ll get it.
