Tu also contacted me asking if I was interested in reviewing some stuff on Youtube, so here's the first of those videos. Not much to look at, but I do examine every part on camera for flaws. Going to be forever until I get this thing finished...

I have been now shown vids of my completed chroming job. I found out I am the 1st to request anything like this from him. Because of this, he has for the longest time not given me a price quote. Now that it seems completed I have received my price quote. I am unsure if I'm allowed to leak any of this yet. I was asked not to share the chroming vids until after I have the product in my hands. I am honoring this request. However from what I've seen it looks very nice. I do not know how long it takes to get to him from the chromers. Thus I do not know when my projects will finally be shipped to me. I do know this round is now completed and all task are finished. We are simply waiting upon arrival to send the whole order to me. I started this project so very long ago. I am in about 7 or 8 months now. So those who wish for things like this promptly please be aware how much time has transpired during this round. His personal work was done fairly quickly. My uv reactive green wings and parts, along with a darker red pair of wings from him have been finished for quite some time. Plus price quotes on those things were almost immediately. As I've said before he is very good at what he does! I have helped him grow in a few different aspects. English is a new language for him and my long windedness has helped him learn so much more of it. He also now knows how long other things out of his hands takes. Besides all this I've steered more clients to him. After this project is finally here in my collection we can finally move on to another project. I have so much planned to do and or help him achive. This was just the beginning of a wonderful collaboration!

Absolutely, don't share anything given in confidence! You might be excited by the product and to help him out, but it could do more harm than good until he gets a system solidified. I'm just excited for the things he has going on! I understand that people are paying for uniquely crafted pieces of art, and there is a premium for the production of that kind of thing. Potential customers need to be aware of that, too.

Well imgur is acting up again. I was asked to post another gun he designed, plus given permission to post my chroming job. Imgur being fussy hinders this. I am testing this new way thru them in hope it works. This is the chroming job pics, 1 of which is twice. Anyway let's see if this works like it should........nope! Grrrrrr! I'll try again once I find a solution again.

Now for a question. Twotoys is begining a project. He wants to know how much interest there is before begining. He is considering making some zoids jewelry. Rings and pendants. These will be with textured characters of zoids and or each factions symbols. I have given my feed back. If he would put the faction symbols on the sides. Then a textured pic of a zoid of that faction on the top. Then the call numbers on the hole sides of the ring making it like a high school class ring of sorts. This was my input to it. This gives him lots of options then increases sales because not everyone has the same love of certain zoids, and all can say 'this is my favorite zoid'. For me gungyrados, guylos empire and call numbers DPZ-23 would be my ring!I also told him that getting a ring sizer to size them to each buyers need will help too. Thoughts,comments and suggestions.

Wow, he does some remarkable work! I'm not interested in things like rings or jewelry, but I love the idea of his doing CPs and other customizing items.

I told him all these big guns would look great as iron kong shoulder guns! He showed a super seya kong concept with a gun on each shoulder. I rather like those guns too.I think both Iron kong and ultra are well suited for custom gun setups. If they are well designed to fit with little or no modification makes them even more desirable.

There's always so much potential in CP units... I would assume there would be some demand if the word got out.
