Nice build.
I know this is not correct, but always think HMM Death Stinger is smaller than the original Tomy one.

Nice build. I know this is not correct, but always think HMM Death Stinger is smaller than the original Tomy one. I actually think it is so, but that's because the proportions are skewed in different ways. The claws are much beefier, but the body, head, and tail are all slimmer and longer than the Tomy one. The legs are much more detailed and large, however, and give the Zoid a fuller appearance.

Cheers! A long way to go yet! Here's a pic of the Tomy version Beside the Koto HMM (with it's tail panels closed):

I've had to split this between the custom section and here so if you'd like more info on the Vulcan cannon please just check that thread out, it's the 1/6 cannon I mentioned. Just found out I have to build all the ammo chutes a link at a time! There's four sprues/runners of the links! And some very thin wire that is probably what holds them together, I'll feel like I'll be in some sort of hippie jewellery crafts meeting! . They're not kidding with the box size either, it's jam packed! The slightly smaller of the two inner boxes is for the back alone it seems.
Conveniently (for once!) there's a strand of my hair there so you can see just how thin that electrical wire is:

Nice Storm Sworder FSV, although I like the Original Silver Storm Sworder more...

The purple and black Redler are the most common/normal Redler colors. The black and purple Storm Sworder is a limited edition kit made for the Fuzors line; the Toy's Dream Project Storm Sworder Jet. They aren't related.

More of a purchase than a build but as they are rare as hen's teeth thought I'd share as I was very lucky find this Deathpion at all, let alone in mint condition for a fair price and in the UK! Just got it today and it looks like it was produced yesterday! It's that mint, the rubber hoses all feel brand new (this is a 20 year old toy that came from America as a gift), the white pilots, yes there are two and a lightsaber like weapon, are still bright white with no yellowing, the battery compartment is so clean you could perform surgery on it! Anyway enough gushing, here are some pics of it in hand and next to my HMM Death Stinger for comparison. She even included all the used runners/sprues, spare parts, stickers, instructions and all the packaging too.
