Anyone ever used leoshop.com to buy zoids before? Just curious if it is reliable...I am trying to find the Schwalz Saber Tiger for less than $100 USD with shipping.

I've not bought from leoshop before but they have been around for many years and i've heard many time over, they are legit.

And how about Hobby Search aka www.1999.co.jp/eng they have some cheap stuff there as well but I just want to know if it is legit as well.

Answered my question above, thank you. The only thing is the first link you have there doesn't give me the price on shipping, which I guess the item would be shipped out of Japan.

those zoids you have very nice, picture taken very sharp.

Good work and thanks for sharing...

www.1999.co.jp : hmmm i thought they are only for japan orders.

The Online Sellers you need to stay away from of are:
# TISINC99.com (US)
# Toy's N Joy's (US)

Is the Zoidspoison custom competition over yet?

Yes over in January 09! hahaha

cheers m8 !
If you wondering how I took the picture
click on my flickr
I'd put some additional notes.

faizzaki, why do you need a reflector?

can normal compact cameras produce the same quality? like panasonic LX3?

Well that website said for all orders to Japan please use japanese site? And thank you for telling me about those 2 sites there.

thanks for the link...You are the pro...no wonder so nice picture taken ....

thanks for sharing brother...do share with us more...we all must make this forum a very interesting one...

the reflector use to minimize the shadow. as you can see very strong light coming from the window. Yes, you can use camera flash light direct to the object, but it will leave a very strong white light at the object and the background will expose.
but if you try natural light source, defuse all the flashlight using umbrella. It will give more natural and killing look !

as for Normal compact camera, try to use manual mode if you have one. If you can master aperture, shutter speed, iso , so yes you can produce almost the same quality.

It's just my 2cent opinion. I'm still learning photography

well, last year I bought a book from this website I just shared with you http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10075381 and Jap rate at that time is 32. that means Rm64.00 but this website they dont give you total how much you need to pay until they send out. They are using EMS and it is very expensive. When they shipped out, total cost roughly Rm120++. Just imagine the flight charges so high.

another website is http://www.xl-shop.com/

Alright then I can open the taps now.

These can be seen here as well for the full article, as this is just an abridged one.

more to come!

yes morgen i heard about your MKII CW plan! way to go bro. Btw what happen to the box?! its totalled!

Base on the picture, I can see that you make the hole taper/bigger so that you can dis-assamble it. And the gray colour I assume that you are use surfacer. very impressive ....
