Hi guys
Im an old fan of zoids toys and kits. My first kit was a triceratops back in the early 80's. Ive had a few others through the years when they were more mainstream but its been a while since i have put one together.
These new zoids are both larger and smaller than the ones i remember from the 80's and 90's. One of my favorite parts of the zoids are the lil cockpits and canopies that had lil gold or silver chromed plastic pilots.
That being said i noticed the MSS Godos and bought him first since he has an extra cockpit and jump seat. But wow this guy is soooooo tiny.
That lead me to wanting an HMM model so after some looking i chose the command wolf since it has 3 actual cockpits. Unfirtunately i could not afford the LC and AC version so i went with the repackage or RHI.
But to make up for it i had a can of testors star spangled blue laquer. This stuff is a beautiful blue metal flake that when sprayed on the white parts looked awesome (will post pics tomorrow.
This model is awesome i still cant velieve how much detail it has. It took me 12 hours wotking in 4 hour shifts to complete and i have yet to add any detail work.
One thing i miss though are the rubber now plastic caps. I just feel like thiet should be more. They kinda bring the machinations out.
I was also a lil disapointed in the articulation. I was really hoping to make a few silly poses like begging and so on but it wont work like that.
I still love the kit though and now i want to build a couple more.
My question is are there any other HMM models that come with extra canopy covered cockpits and pilot?
