Had the same thoughts from time to time depending these tiny parts! But sometimes it makes the details look more complex. The Dark Horn now looks great also in comparison to the oer.

Love the comp photo- it shows how much larger the HMM is than the original.

Love the comp photo- it shows how much larger the HMM is than the original. Yes it's definitely beefier than the OER and I think more importantly it tapers like a wedge from back to front unlike the OER that just seems straight/parallel in it's shape, not built for ramming like the HMM. Started the guns now but still got loads of parts left to build!

Wow big guns and a lot of them! Seems they are like the ones on the Iron Kong Schubaltz HMM. This Horn Variant looks very cool but i am stil a bit unsure about the colors. The Harry Special should havexa lot of gold but i would prefer a more silver and less jellow looking gold color but that is only my feeling about this. The black parts on the gold look awesome there are colors that match very good!

The black parts on the gold look awesome there are colors that match very good! We'll see what happens when I decide to detail it a bit Needs more guns...... MORE GUNS!!!! That definitely seems to be on the menu! Aside from the giant railgun there are a bunch of extra guns and grenade launchers left on the sprues that will be put to good use! There's also what appears to be two extra complete shuttles which is a bonus, my OER is missing his. Oh and a tail skid too that I'll use.
Railgun parts:
Extra weapons:
Shuttles and tail skid:

Congrats to finish the Dark Horn it looks great! The mass of details, colors and weapons is a very special combination that makes this one the most expressive Horn Variant i guess. For me it's nearly an overkill😅 Might be better when the guns are detailed a bit. At this point u like it but in comparison to the OER rhe old one is also still a good design. What i really like on the HMM is that he has this option to put additional weapons on it that are already in the box.
For comparison there would be a crimson horn my favorite as it is very well armed too.

I've gone through the instructions all kindly scanned onto the MECH9 website (great resource I just discovered) of any Zoids by HMM related to this one machine and weapon wise: Dark Horn, Red Horn and Iron Kong Schwartz; there is nothing for the Green Horn and they haven't made a Crimson Horn yet.. So here's the problem (not a big one just irritating..) I can't identify a bunch of parts, can someone please help by looking at the pics below? Cheers!
They were on the same sprues as most of these bits that I have already identified and ruled out certain candidates/models:

Hmmm... doesn't that thing need a bigger gun? HAY! Maybe two of those things would look rockin' on a Gojulas? ^_^

I'm working on more guns, just trying to figure out what might work without resorting to going through my massive collection of 1/6 donor guns! Found out what one mystery part was at least (thought you would have all the answers tbh), a connector for the tail and shuttle gun pod/skid mount unit which I've now attached as it seemed a waste not to use it; put the other shuttle up front for now too.

Hm not sure about the additional parts i have a lot from the Gojulas weapons set too. These round parts look like parts for a gattling maybe? Might make sense to check what everyone has on spare parts so the others can check if they need something!

Might make sense to check what everyone has on spare parts so the others can check if they need something! Yeah, most of the spare parts are bits of gun builds and an antenna and the round piece is definitely from an ammo feed system but not one that matches anything I've found yet. No big deal, got loads of other stuff to work with and already have a weapons system designed, just need to do some more drilling, sanding and sawing to finish it... feeling lazy and my giant Gundam just arrived! Oh and I returned the belly/flank missile systems to the Red Horn configuration as it works much better and has some cool hoses, I lose a few vents but nothing else, not sure why they changed it as the RH set up can shoot to the side and not just up.
