Hi! I hope it's okay to post a thread of your own build? The main thread for builds seems to be getting a bit confusing and I won't help with my high photo count to show options and details  . This is the norm on all the other forums I post on (custom gun builds, 1/6 figures, Transformers etc..) so work can be singled out for feedback or reference to other builders etc.. and found more easily too.
This is only my 2nd HMM Zoid model I've built, actually the 2nd model kit I've build in about 30 years!  I'm used to scratch building from scrap and donor bits and bobs, not following instructions. I tried to capture the Particle Canon effects with what I had lying around, bits left over from 1/6 custom Star Wars builds that I sliced and mixed up together with a bit of paint and ink. Not happy with the projecting part for the canon but it's just an option and a stand in for now as I've ordered something else hat could be made to work better. the base is from some 1/6 Marx horse and covered in real sand with PVA and matte clear. I gave him a sort of sandstorm scoured/heat damaged paint look instead of the usual silver metal dry brush look as we don't really know what he's made of.
This is a sort of dual mode display, a bit like a doctor's anatomy mannequin 
You can even take the "heart" (Zoid Core) out like a doctor's

Seems pretty quiet in the model section at least, doubt I'll be venturing out of the "making things" section, how many active members are here usually?
Anyway, this is the particle canon effect bits I ordered (yellow swirly thing) I'll invert it and get rid of the stand etc.. Hard to pin down the exact look of the particle canon beam as it seems to vary, then just wipe everything out! . But if this doesn't work I'll use it for something else and try the others pictured, one of them is a two for one deal (the figure).
I only bought this first as it was the last one on eBay, I'm thinking the purple one might work better now:
Thought these would be good for Genosaurs (minus the bloke in glasses of course!)

This is incredible! You did an amazing job.
I love that you have the Furher displayed with half of the armor on. I may do the same if I get my hands on one.

What a fascinating way to display a zoid! I love it! That and the weathered armour effect. Very suitable half armour display for a zoid like Berserk fury who is one of very few zoids to actually appear in the anime as armour-less at some point.

It's an option but as you will no doubt know these HMM kits have lots of options!! I might put him on a motorized turn table, got a spare one somewhere around. |

Just ordered the purple swirly effect for him, I think the orange one will look better with Raven's Genosaur or perhaps the Death Stinger.

So not really a multiquote function then! You can actually multiquote pretty easily, the above was done without copy pasting anything. If you want to multiquote just click on the gear icon on the top right of the post and then on "select post". Do this for all posts you want to quote and then click quote on the last post you selected, and you will quote all the selected posts =) |
