Poor, poor Bamburian. Just because Litt Tak was selling it cheap, it's not qualified?
The green chrome on Zoids2 Bear looks very nice.
I've still got one claw from OJR MKII. Can anyone donate the rest of the parts, please?

3500 Yen service charge? Is that a standard?

Chrome Anchor paint is so nice and shiny.

Guys, I'm wondering if I could start a project on Zoids LYN Forum Malaysia T-Shirt would anyone be interested to buy it? All you guys need to do is to buy the T-Shirt which could cost no more than RM50. It would be free size since quantities are limited. I would probably come up with few mock designs and let us vote for the best one.

some samples of T-Shirts
HLJ

or you could do a google search for ideas.

So let me know, need votes of confidence to go ahead with it.

this got my vote definitely.

btw, that oohjapan website is awesome! can source for almost everything !!

and that personal blog... i know who the author is..

finally got to read his hobby historic background

Good morning all. Another quiet weekend at LYN Zoids, I guess.

It'll be a good idea to see if any others have designs they'd like to submit as well. It has been a long time since I played with Photoshop but will give it a try.

Perhaps a mock-up T-shirt could be done first before actual production? How do those inkjet print-out, iron-on sheets hold up in the washing machine? Anyone ever played with them?

@Edmaestro:
I would so love to get my hands on loads of those bootlegs...if they were cheap. Painting them would not feel so painful then.

Weekends are usually quiet. Away from office away from computers. Usually i'll build whatever zoids there is of my choosing.

Yea would be good that you could contribute some designs. I would prefer to have thread embossing usually goes with a single color would be cheaper. Iron on does not last.

pic spam gotta love those OJR boxes those mine was badly decomposed

Dont u just love OJR boxes?

hmm the t-shirt looks awesome

count me in ed.

and the we should have DKZ t shirts too hehe

Wow...can count me in on the Zoids-T... Interested wor

No problem...good price btw

Yup, really enjoyed the visit. But overstayed and ended up in a traffic crawl on the way home. None the less, looking and 'fondling' some zoids was worth it...

Pictures?

dri1

lol @ dri1, never failed to amuse that, that parking pictures hahah

Ed, tired lecturing today, did the students pay attention?

actually we both found out many new things today.

oh thats great. im sure Rider gonna come out with something to share very soon

Hmmmm...wonder what new discoveries our scientist have to say after digging all the fossils in Ed's house. To bad I can't joint the digging expedition . It must be fun and educating for those who comes to Ed's place.

Had a great geeky time at Ed's house.
Well-kept landscaping, 2 1/2-storey, with multiple rooms for Zoids - so relaxing after being in a smallish apartment and bumpy bus ride.
And also, he's a 6th-Dan Black Belt on the electric organ.
Does that answer the questions?

Okaylah. More Zoids, less house - is it?

Got to do live comparison between OJR, NJR and Bloody Deathsaurer: OJR really has a brighter red. The others more maroon. And the OJR caps weren't the bright green I was expecting. Due to aging, perhaps?

Also made comparison with OJR, NJR and Dark Wardick: OJR has a clearer, more translucent green visor/"eye".
All of them wag their tails when walking due to a mechanism. That's what I think, anyway. Too scared to disassemble to have a closer look. OJR, Boh!

Guylos Dark forces come with two-tones: gloss black and grey-black. I think modellers who sniff paint would be able to better describe the colours.
Interesting fact from Ed - they're not truly glow-in-the-dark so don't count on them to be your night-light.

Stormsworder required surgical planning to remove its batteries. Ed forgot how to open the battery pack and I wrongly thought it was a hinged access. The motor is connected to the battery pack by three-pin connectors. Possible candidate for remote-control modification. Or maybe the CP16 can already fit on it? Can someone test this theory out? We forgot to do that.

Rebirth Zoids with the new mini motors and battery packs are also possible candidates for remote-control. Two pin, reversible drive like the normal DC motors in electric RC cars. I did not open the motor housing at Ed's though. Once again - scared. NOT MINE, MAH! Respectlah sikit.

A little warning to all electricity maniacs - remove batteries from your Zoids if you're not playing with them for a long time.
I really worry about those RCZ models that comes with batteries pre-installed in its new motor pack. How long can you keep them MISB without battery leaks? The good news is that it comes with a plastic, insulating tab which has to be removed before it can function. I hope that helps in the long run.
@Electricians and Electrical Engineers:
+ve to -ve multiple stacked batteries, with the end of ONE of them insulated to prevent conducting current to motor contact - would they still leak over time?

The next BIG project TAKARATOMY should undertake after the Rebirth of OJR and NJR models is the addition of EVODRIVE Zoids mechanism into its bigger sized cousins. LED lighting and synchronised, timed movements in such a tiny, tiny package!
Compare the standard ZOIDS pilot size with its Evodrive version from this picture I found on Flickr:



@Edmaestro:
Thanks, Sir Edmaestro, for allowing a novice stranger to enter your sanctuary of Zoids madness. I am now truly insane with the poison.

p.s. how many Wardicks did you catch in the Semenyih waters?
