Andu's in the house

[andu]

Hey y'all!

About me-

I fell in love with Zoids young; my sister bought me the first two VHS tapes of New Century Zero at the Dollar Store. Still haven't seen much else, actually- darned DVD's are so expensive and rare...

I joined MMM for its last 1-2 years, was active on ZRV while it lasted, and am currently a staffer on ZWF. I found Phenotype's site on MMM and loved the customs (which I actually can't find anymore....) I conveniently fell in love with Lego's and Zoids again once I got my first job recently- so, I'm a poor man with an ever growing collection.

In addition to collecting pieces, I'm trying to start custom work.

SO! I'll drop you some questions while I'm here.

-Does the Red Horn model (the old ones, not the HMM's) support TWO CP-03's???

-Does anyone know of a decent air-brush that won't cost $100+? Doesn't need to be fancy.

I'd swear I had more questions. Well, I'll return with them as I think of them.

Helcome, andu! (That is, Hello and welcome)

Glad to see new blood in the wonderful (and expensive) world of Zoid collecting! Lemme give a crack at this...

-Red Horn and its variants do NOT support twin vulcans without custom modification.

-I use an Iwata HPC which will run you about $100, but if you luck out you can get one off of eBay for under that. I recently found a new one for $98 shipped, but there are some "used only once" for less. Often these are art students who use it for a single class and use it with only water colors. Incidentally, if you are going to spray enamels, make damn sure you use a proper filter mask! Don't get a $1.00 sheet-shock dust mask, it won't filter out dangerous atomized paint thinner!

I've found a brush at my local hobby store, for ~$60-70, depending on if I got the single or double-action.

I'm collecting some Zoid parts, too, as well as checking out some materials.

For now though, I'm gonna stick to investing in the models and my lego stuff, 'til I get enough to set aside for those things.

Hey, I seem to recall someone saying they were able to swing by the Toys N Joys store? Just wanted to confirm that and see who it was... I'm not going to purchase anything soon, but they've got some items I'd like to get there for convenience' sake, despite the ordering horror stories.
