You know there are other free image hosts, right? Ones without insipid far-left political yammering on every page.
We can't view your Discord attachment. Use catbox or imgbb or something. I wanna see this sucker!

Well I am not sure about any other options of image hosting. I think in here in order to have it post it rather than a link it has to be a bbc code link. I tried this one out. It was super easy to upload them there. But I'm not sure of how to get it link each single pic and post them on here. However. postimg.cc/gallery/0vmmtt7Is the full 14 pic set of what was taken. I hope this works in this way. |

I hope this works in this way. Works a treat! Wow, look at all that candy red. I have been semi-successful lately trying to recreate that kind of thing with shiny chrome paint/markers and clear red on top, but without an airbrush or the patience for full masking, there's a limit to what I can do.. This is the real deal, good oldfashioned chrome like Mama used to make. It cost you a pretty penny I assume, but that is worth it. |

I have quite a bit wrapped up into these 2 projects. But it was a dream of mine for so very long. Mechadios wouldn't make me this. Further with the custom gun and wings makes this even better. I said this from the beginning Two toys will go down in zoider history as one of the greats. Now for the bad news. There are some warpage issues in these wings. Worse was the uv reactive green wings. One has a blemish and the other cracked during shipping. Thank goodness for all the extra wings. I fished out a suitable pair with limited issues to utilize. I just finished cleaning off the breather hole tubes and plan a clear coat to see if that helps them. One has a very tiny bubble and one has a tiny dark spot. Other minor blemishes should clear up with that coating. These were so very hard for him to make for me! I hate to bother him about it. I have read that hotwater and patience can fix warps, but they are mounted now and I think I will leave those at that. Someday down the line I will attempt my very own hand at making a set of brass wings. Yet another dream project.

And now that this one's finally got to see a gungyadoros from more angles and it's gotten to see it better, this one wants to get a Gungy too. will have to keep an eye out for the Zoids Graphix release |

I don't take very good pictures!However what I'm worse at is painting. It is why I haven't really painted a zoid until this one. 1st was the extremly difficult candy black to lay onto all the chrome pieces of a normal gunny.Next was hours of cutting tiny rectangles of masking tape to recreate a strobe effect on a custom uv reactive green pulse cannon cylinder.The final hurdle was a planned clear coat onto the wings. That went entirely wrong. Right away I could see the topograghical effect of texturing of the paint laid down. Then spending hours removing that from that 1 wing. Resorted to car waxing the wings. Somewhat better and restored. After which it is completed,well sort of. I intend to buy the black death zcaps for this one and steal some jelly red ones from a wild beast liger for the chromed one. Then, Then these will be finished! But have a look at my poor camera work here. Under blacklight ones included! postimg.cc/gallery/kmbxh9L6 |

Those are both pretty solid-looking customs! Goodness, you've got great taste!

Those are both pretty solid-looking customs! Goodness, you've got great taste! now I have a hankering to do a gilly in the same fashion as that guylos empire dark gungyrados. Using gildragon horns,blades and accent pieces in the same uv reactive green but use a smoke colored canopy and a dark gilly base. I think it will come out just as stunning! Thanks for the encouragement. I feel this guylos empire dark gungyrados is how they should have released it! |

Exactly! I know you can overdo the black/green color scheme, but it just feels right somehow!

This one, my chromed bloody gungyrados, is now completed. I used silver death zcaps on the pulse cannon. Then I swapped red jellies for yellow jelly zcaps on a wild beast liger. Utilized the red jellies to finish off the chromed bloody gungyrados. Now this custom is compleyed. I have to find some black death zcaps to finish the guylos empire dark gungyrados and both will be finished. It's pulse cannon already has the silver ones replacing the clashing blues. Now to try out the new places link.  |

Did you get a chance to see the guylos empire dark gungyrados yet? The link is further up. It came out awesome! Waiting on some black death zcaps to finish it. But if you look it has awesome black light pics with them too. Now that I'm familiar with the process of the new pic host I can put pics in instead. Oh and these pics are clickable to get them to enlarge. |

My display case arrived today. For those who have never purchased one of these they are really nice. This is the largest they make at 22"x14.6"x14.2". All panels are covered with a peel away protective cover. They all use these tiny clear rubber bands to hold them together. It's too bad they don't make large enough ones for gilvaders, Ultrasaurus and King Gojulas. But these come in many other sizes. Both custom gungyrados fit nicely in this one  |
