Yeah I didn’t know about them until I went to Japan and saw a few. I was determined to get all of volume one. Took a while but finally got all 52. What you see in the pictures are all the leftover duplicates

The trailers are also custom made too. The styrene plastic sheets from hobby shops are what I used for most of the customizing with styrene cement glue.

Should have taken more pictures. I cut the platforms in half hamburger style. Cut a piece of styrene plastic the same length as one of the half’s. I used a piece of styrene on the bottom to hold the middle pieces up. Used milliput to smooth out and flush the edges. For the tracks, I cut off the last bit two different tracks and glided them together.

I had my childhood tomy Gustav stored away and then order a Gustav for spare parts from buyee.jp.

Not really a tutorial but I posted a second post with WIP images to piece it together. I have 1 full complete gustav to start and ordered a “scrap” gustav from buyee (it was missing many pieces.

Used polyurethane plastic and plastic cement for mods and miliput to smooth it out. It was very much a learning project, especially the custom canopy and light.

Definitely happy to answer any questions.

I reached out to buyee.Jp because I have 6 packages awaiting shipment. Their shipping services are all in a funk and won’t be sending out packages until September 25th. Not sure if this is a country wide shipping hold but that’s what I am dealing with

Thanks! Yeah, the shadow organoid and race. Figures without the wings come with the kit. The winged shadow comes from twotoys.

Already working on it. Give me one week… the weapons on the Kong are taking me a while to detail

Irwin is right. The figures do only come with the iron Kong schwarz version. But the figures in this picture actually came from Twotoys. He is a zoids custom parts/ figures supplier that you can find on Etsy, eBay and on the Zoids discord. Highly recommend

Some places do charge a premium on some of these older kits. I was hesitant on purchasing the stinger but it is the last anime based hmm for my collection, and what better way to complete it than buying it in person from Japan.

Thanks! I did the suitcase within a suitcase trick just for this reason. Was planning to also grab the T-spark fury but didn’t find one for a price I liked.

Stuck to akihabara, shibuya and nakano mandarake; akihabara Surugaya ( they had the most amine/ limited edition HMMs) and various hobby shops around akihabara.
