So I've stalled a bit. Currently working a deal to purchase some zoids off another collector. This has tied my hands and curbed my money burning a hole thru my pockets, at least until this burn pile goes to it new keeper of it. Thus I stalled on buying the scanning spray. Besides this scanning spray I also need to buy a small kitchen lazy susan and a shorter phone holding tripod and start an app called polycam to see if it's quality surpasses the 3d scanner I purchased, as youtubers show it should! While on hold I've, since sending parts to a fellow zoider in here, joined discord.It has been a way for us to communicate in closer to real time and eased the deliveries. Now he and I are somewhat internet friends(or at least I feel he is a friend inspite of my advanced age and my strangeness) and chat now and then on what we've been obtaining or searching for. Now that I'm using the discord app more n more I thought I'd search to see if there is a group in it. Sure enough there is indeed a zoids group there alive and well. While searching thru it's many channels I hit upon something. Someone is selling a gilly. His gilly has 2 drillgans upon it. But wait! There's more!(Yeah old enough to remember those commercials)...1 drillgan was normal. However the other was gray on all parts of it. Promptly I pm'd and inquired if it was 3d printed. Also if so the who's, what's, when's, where's and can I buy the stl files! Not too terribly long afterwards he replied. That they were abs molded. Naturally I prompted for more information. He has a factory make these for him and has offered to sell me some of them at what I consider an outstanding deal. I do not know if he has an unlimited supply of them or an avenue for that since his time to chat was limited. But this has really pretty much put the breaks on my working towards results that are already obtainable thru other means. I will be doing a deal with him once my other deal is complete but until then I won't have much more to say on information on these new found and newly made drillgans! Just updating this thread to keep those following abreast of the situation.
