I am as excited as Steve Martin in 'The Jerk' when the new phone book came out. MY PACKAGE IS HERE, MY PACKAGE IS HERE, MY PACKAGE IS HERE! My chromed Bloody Gungyrados with custom Bloody Darker red wings and my Guylos Empire Gungyrados UV Reactive Green wings and parts are here too! Many other things given to me as well! Whoot! I love extras! He gave me a huge pile of assorted wings with issues. These wings must have been a very hard casting to create for my needs! There are so many extra wings in clear, green and a few shades of red. Some have warped. Others have bubbles or other issues. But all will do in a pinch until replacements can be made as long as one doesn't look too close. Also given was a shopping basket from the hmm Leena special with all goodies in translucent colors. Oh and the swing part under the wing was cast in the uv reactive green as a thank you for the loan of mine for him to copy for his. Now my fun begins. I am waiting on a can of black lacquer Tamiya paint to darken the chrome pieces and assemble my Guylos Gunny. I have to rebuild the motor assembly of the chromed one to assemble it. This will be a while. But decades in the planning and dreaming are so very close to an end. At least for these 2 projects anyway! I have so much more coming up planned. As soon as these are built this thread will be graced with pics of the final finished products that are now in my greedy little hands. These are going to look so cool or is that fire now days.

For those who know the heart break of broken gungyrados wings do not dispare. I show you this! These are just the 'wings with issues' pile. I also have my 2 successful sets as well. It got me thinking. I was going to ask him about possibly just casting the connector section of this and gojulas tails. To give a ready made replacement. I built up a gojulas replacement piece for 3d printing, but have yet to actually build one to try out. Nor have I shared it with the 3d printing community yet since it is untested. However with his casting skills maybe all that would be a moot point and a grief of the past for us all. Anyway on to the eye candy of my forever supply of spares!

Wow, he's making some incredible progress!
On the wings; how strong are those new wing clips? Would you end up with the same breaks but with new parts?
On the guns; WICKED!!!

Wow, he's making some incredible progress! On the wings; how strong are those new wing clips? Would you end up with the same breaks but with new parts? On the guns; WICKED!!! Actually one of these many does have one of those hangers broken. They seem slightly more flexible than the normal ones. As I've shown, in my many ramblings of this thread, he had my green set mounted on his to show me. I broke the original ones trying to dismount them before for a cleaning. So that is somewhat of an indicator. I am thinking about using 1 set of the reds shown to do a repair of those wings. Even my lil kabaya has the same issue. And being even smaller it is far worse of an issue. If I recall those just broke sitting on display. I have no recourse on them, but I may ask if he can mold a new set in translucent red to match original full size gunny later. Part of that many projects planned thing. In fact maybe a whole recast. *smiles evily*

oh that is a cool gun, what is its origin? As far as I know Twotoys himself is the creator of this gun. I know some of his guns are designed by someone else who he has a subcription for permission to build and sell them. In this case I don't know if this is one of them. He has been cranking out so many new designs lately of custom guns it is getting hard to keep up. But I liked these last couple of them. Some I want for shoulder mount iron kong guns. However this one I am hoping to accomplish a grade up unit to go on my beloved gunny(s). Other wise just a static mounted one.

That gun appears to be based on scans of the tail... a little stretched and with some detail omitted, though. Nice work either way!

The External Particle Cannon is a weapons concept that appeared in Smack Zoids B-Part, a segment from Dengeki Hobby Magazine that looked at various Zoids concept art. It's where things like the Konig Wolf Silver Fang, Blade Liger MK-II, etc. come from and this issue looked at concepts for possible Zoids CPs. The weapon turned out great! If it was customized to be motorized, that'd be especially cool. I'm loving all of his guns lately. As someone who doesn't collect many large Zoids, I'm not really able to make use of them, but it's really cool to see them become a reality. Not many creators focus on option parts that aren't conversion kits. Items that can be used more freely, with any Zoid, not just intended for one, are always nice to have.

If you have discord and in it's zoids group you will find a vid of this and another gun completed and painted in the # zoids_workshop thread. I'm not sure if I can post vids in here in anyway. Pretty soon imgur is liable to tell me I've used up my alotment of space as it is just in pics.

This just learned. I have 2 gungyrados projects in full swing. I rebuilt the motor box and battery box of the freshly chromed one. I have the other motorbox and battery box sitting nearby for a cleaning. While finishing putting in screws I noticed the difference between new and old(original) gungyrados battery bay doors. New has a screw holding it shut. Whereas the old the battery bay door slides back to free itself for swinging open. Yes an original version is being turned into my Guylos Empire Dark Gungyarados. It was the one with broken wings thus the doner body. Anyway just thought I'd mention this as a how to tell which era one you have if purchased built or even a possibility of a shifty reboxing.

If he is considering jewelry, maybe he should make some proofs of faction rings and pendants. Many of the characters of the anime and manga had gold or silver faction medallions from the Helic, Zenebas, or Guylos empires. Rudolph had the royal ring and Bang had the Guardian Force pendant in season two of Chaotic Century. I would love to see faction stuff! I know it wouldnt be for everyone, but I wouldnt mind some options for the sub groups like Rottiger, Eisen Dragoon, Proitzen Knights, Phantom Knights, Leomasters, etc.....
