I was wondering if anyone has scratch build a whale king in scale to other zoids.

Y'know, if you did it with cardboard, it might actually be feasible.. if you had a large garage or something...

If I remember correctly, I approximated the length of an anime-sized Whale King at about 22-feet long. I think I used the scene from early on in Guardian Force as a base.

If you made a scale Whaleking it would be the approximate length of 5 Ultrasaurus... I did a chart when I built Gallant Mariner that came out like this:  |

That would seem about right then using the anime sizes vs scale sizes. I think. Now you're going to make me go pull that episode up again......  |

You know, I have plenty of cardboard and a lot of space . . . if I didn't think the Whale King was ugly as sin, I might actually go through with it  |

I've got about an acre of property, so I'm sure I could squeeze him onto it. I had wondered about doing and anime size Ultra, but the cost.... The Whale King would be a lot cheaper. I just don't know what the heck I'd do with it once I was done! I suppose I could put wheels and a trailer hitch under it! LOL! |

I liked it better before I saw it there in profile, it looks less cool that way.. I didn't realize the tail was so thick and uniform.
But it'd be pretty easy to make with boxes!

Maybe if Kotobukiya were to re-imagine it as an HMM? Still, a good whale has a lot of potential.  |

I mean the Ultrasaurus held tons of zoids inside each of its hangers, not to mention it had a cockpit that could easily hold well over 50 people in its forehead. |

The anime Ultrasaurus was scaled up to Crazy Anime Scale along with Death Saurer (and Seismo and Gildragon), that's a 1/72 model one.
