Nice! I actually love the Technozoids kit for its cannon, but I do prefer the black limbs. I tell ya, this is a Zoid I would actually like to see reworked into an HMM kit.

Seems odd to call something "Electronic" when it's merely motorized. to me, electronic suggests something a little more elaborate, electricity being changed into something other than mechanical movement. Lights, sounds, little infrared beams that mess with your TV remote...

I can see that. Still, "requires batteries" = electricity. ^_^

 It's been forever, since I've been on here, partly because I had stopped collecting Zoids, and there is little use visiting this thread when I just end up getting myself jealous, with everyone else being able to spend money on new Zoids. Ironic, since I haven't collected a new Zoid since getting a job in 2016. ![]() So what could be in these two boxes?   Kuwaga and Beast Liger are my first purchases from the Wild Line. I've always found Rising Liger to have an blade intriguing design, with how a firearm is integrated into one side of the blade. When I saw that there were very few left on Amazon, I figured I had better buy one now, because they are already starting to get pricey on Ebay. Hopefully, this isn't a sign of things to come. I swore that if I ever got back into building Zoids, I wanted to do more than just build them out of the box, hence small jars of panel lining. However, I wasn't going to try it on something that I paid over $50 for. It would be nuts if I ruined it by accident. Kuwaga/Pincers is another story althogether. Even though Hasbro seems to have given up on their line after hardly even a year, and no advertising, they are still pretty cheap, and it would be no big deal if I ruined it due to my inexperience with panel lining. It's perfect for perfecting panel lining and other techniques, and will probably be my guinea pig, err guinea beetle?...no wait, uh...testbedbug! Yeah, that's it! And then use what I've learned on Rising Liger. The Death Stinger and Aro Saurer are units I've left unbuilt for years, as my interest in Zoids had waned. Kept swearing I would get around to them eventually. Now my plan is to panel-line them, after I'm done with Kuwaga. Although I might consider selling TOMY Death Stinger, so that I can get the upcoming HMM model instead. The HMM kit will keep me for a very long time! I could probably sell the Tomy version for close to at least $150 now, covering most of the price of the Death Stinger ZS. Damn, I wish I could have afforded to pick up a bunch of TOMY Zoids when they were brand new. The prices they are going for now is absurd! The cleaner is for my Bearded Dragon.

Nice to see you are still out there, JES! Yeah, I haven't bought a new kit in some time, but some of the Wild designs are pretty appealing. I am liking what I see with the HMM versions; they should be easy to "correct" and get them to the right scale. -_^

 Some good news: my Gundam Markers arrived! I bought a set when I found out that the enamel panel lining bottles I got could hurt the ABS plastic used in at least part of my Rising Liger. I'll use these when in doubt of the type of plastic that is in question. Still need to get some clear coat from a nearby hobby store first. And this strange turtle must've snuck his way in somehow while I was attempting to get free shipping on Amazon. The Tamiya Weathering Set is still on it's way. Bad news: contrary to be being able to post my first video today, making a YouTube channel is going to be a lot harder and frustrating than I thought, since at least some of the anime footage is copyright claimed, and for some reason that I can't figure out, I'm not allowed to publish a video that uses part of it. I'm still trying to figure out why, since a lot of other videos consist almost entirely of footage from movies and TV shows, and whether I should just throw out everything I've done and start over, using photos that I find online, and avoid any visual media altogether (even though I think doing so would rob my videos of the impact I would like to make). |

There's no sense to youtube's policies, they're flagrantly violating the law and not even in a way that makes them money

Legally, you should be able to publish video or audio from copyrighted sources if you 1) cite the source and 2) the clips are present for commentary or parody.
Not that YouTube actually cares one wit about that.

 Finally. I got tons more stuff for my second place in the ZF contest, but this was obviously the main event. Not counting Ice Blazer, which is really just a variant of the Zeekdober, that puts me down to one single motorized Zoid that I don't have any variant of - the Descat. And unless the stars align a second time, that's probably never going to happen, haha. But then again, I also thought I'd never get a Godkaizer. |

Yeah, I built it today, and I'm very pleasantly surprised... I wanted it mostly for completionist reasons, but I like it much more than I thought. Pictures don't do it justice.

So I am really the sole to have won nothing OJR in this contest, even if I was second in kitbash ? Only a single OER I already have two times ? There is really something I don't understand here.

Oh... my goodness... I SO want a copy of that kit! I mean, anything from a scanned and 3D printed copy or a molded and cast resin version. After all, what I want to do with it shouldn't be done to an original!

Such a beautiful over the top super robot mess of a zoid, I can't not love it
