thats the point! IF its not shiny enought to blid, it aint shiny enouhg

Where in the world did you find these?

[Alteka]

The evil underworld known as ebay. They don't snow up there often, though - it's easier to find them on Yahoo Japan.

Oh, also - My extra liger zero kits have just arrived in the mail, so some proper pics of Panzer (and Schenider) will follow soon.

[commandliger]

I sure know about that underworld!! I tell myself to stay off of it,but it's like I am addicted,or something! Now I am broke(Just won a Bloody Death Saurer,MIB) so maybe the addiction will cool...Doubtful...

[Knolly]

You know...

I don't think these are the Leoshop chromes. Did they have a sticker on the box that said something in Japanese? There were official chromes of the 3 CPs, and I'm guessing that's what you have, only because of the different colored frames underneath the chrome.

After all, LeoShop just plated regular kits, so if it was LeoShop kits, it should've been standard kit color underneath the chrome.

Anyhow, thanks for the nice pics! Do you have any other shots of the articulated Zeros by any chance?

^^

[Alteka]

I own several leoshop kits already - These guys are no different with the white & red sticker deal that says ken tei mekkikootingu baajen ('metal coating version'). I wouldn't have bothered shelling out cash on an unknown chrome job, since coloured electroplating can look godawful if not done correctly .

Anyways, more pics. Here's Schneider in the Zero X base kit. I couldn't find any testors clear orange acrylic at the model shop so I had to go with the Tamiya stuff:



..and then there's Panzer. I plopped his guns backwards since it looks weird with the big glob of green massed where the bunny ears meet the gun tips. Used testors clear green on him.



Here's the three of them together:



..and the three sprues together for colour comparison:



This is where they're living at the moment (the uncrowded mantle of happiness..). You can see my Leoshop Storm Sworder in the upper right:



Up above, I have my qusi-articulated trio of kitties. It's a combo of ball joints in the hips & shoulders and pinning the leg mechanism different ways (ie the Alteka-quick-n-easy-way). Zero is the singular one with only pinning, so I can place the legs back the way they were originally if I want to. Jager has extra joints in the wrists.








..and here's the shiny kitty trio with their boxes:




..the end! (I guess?)

WHoo! I love 'em! But, still...I think Jager is and always will be the best CAS for Zero...

[Pawl]

They are very cool. Jaeger is the best by a mile, then Panzer. Just like the normal ones.

Is that StormSworder chrome too? Wow. I missed out on all the Leo shop chrome Zoids sadly, so dont know much about em. Any chance of a close up of SS? He looks ace...

[Moshii]

I actually have a LEOshop chrome Molga...Man I love him.

[Alteka]

Yeah, Jager is my favourite lil robokitty buddy too.

Here's a closeup on Stormy. I didn't find out about leoshop until it was too late (I was in college and had zero cash.. and when I finally got out they were all gone), so I've been slowly scooping 'em all up:

[commandliger]

I have a Leoshop chrome gold&black Command Wolf. I love it,but when I was building it,a peg on its leg snapped off...I glued it back on,but I have to be VERY careful with it. Your pics are great Alteka. Do you have any more Leoshop Zoids?

[Alteka]

I have the 'lil Molga and a boxed Command Wolf floating about somewhere. Always on the lookout for more, though :3.

I really want that yummy blue & gold Shadow Fox.. mm.

[killerfury86]

Nice pics and chromed goodies ;D

[Pawl]

That SS is quality.

[Snowflake]

Panzer chrome would have been nicer in olive-chrome, but that green sure is pretty
