@buyus: thanks for the collection pics! awesome! soon to be expanded tee hee...

@DeinanCF: welcome to the Zoids thread! hope you enjoy your stay here, with regards to your modelling section, most of them are using Gundam Markers and sandpaper to do away the decals.

Oh, building cars right now... I'm still destressing by the way! 

For beginners, I suggest that you start with some simple Bandai Gundam markers to do the panel lines, use the oil based pens, those come out nicely. Black, is ok, grey is better for more realism.

To hide the discoloured areas, buy some sandpaper in various grades, 400, 800, 1000. Start with the roughest grade and sand down the affected part. Then progress to the finest sandpaper and soon the mark will dissapear. You can do a wet sanding technique, this will help your progress.

If you really want to do a good job modelling, you should visit some local malaysian modelling sites, try the Malaysian Scale models tips and hints section go to the link below

Got a happy news today, it seems that i will be having Edmaestro Jr. @ A BOY! another 5mths to go.

It's about time you joined. Been wondering where you went with your zoids? You should read from page 1 to see how much fun we have here...... fun poisoning.

pics spam.
Bio Zoids Volcano from Genesis anime

the normal pilots, for example these.

Happy, happy Gawai holiday, everyone. May your rice harvest bring you much profit and Zoids!

Saw these Zoids trophy heads on Yahoo Japan Auctions. Starting bid was 2500 Yen for the set.


@DeinanCF: Congratulations on the Soul Tiger. Not as glowy as Rayse Tiger, maybe but the backpack makes a beautiful kutu/tick with light-up legs!
I'll have to get Buyus to post a picture of the LED kutu later.
Sorry, cannot help with the pictures. I only have camera phone. Good luck in the project though.

@Edmaestro: That built power mantis probably has its design history in another old, vintage Zoid. Pen-holder, anyone?

Pratically Free
Dust them regularly. Get those blusher brush from your girlfriend or wife. They come with various sizes and softness.
If dust are stubborn and won't come off. Give them a bath like what i showed in the previous page.

Cheap
My cabinet does not have doors so bought few rolls of clear book wrappers and sealed off the entire cabinet with double sided tapes. It wont be 100% but at least it helps in keeping the dust a way for a long while. Can you see the plastic?


Intermediate
If you are just displaying on tables. I advise to buy clear 3mm thick plastic and built a cover over the table. You can find those plastics in DIY Shops.
You can read about howZOID.US did it.

Expensive
Buy or custom make a glass display. With 6mm thick glass 4meters x 8 meters x 1/2meter wide this should fit King G vertically and Mad thunder horizontally.

Like some of us display our zoids in aquarium but its expensive buying the fish tank.

Welcome back to Zoids, Dguy. I hope you'll be able to restore your vintage Zoids without too much trouble.

And welcome, carmenbabe. Good to know there are female Zoids enthusiasts in Malaysia. (and NO! I'm not going to edit this!)

About the Sissys - each edition have their respective Styluarmor and Stormies? I thought the Fuzors Ultimate Seismo only had Storm brothers?

@DeinanCF: The anonymity and gender-neutral World Wide Web is so confusing sometimes. Welcome, ladies. Thanks for buying Zoids!

Since restoration works seem to be the order of the day, here's a little something Sir Edmaestro got me working on. He's a hard, hard slave-driver




Thanks, Ed!
It's not completed yet but slowly, slowly. Trying to figure out the underbody colour for Red Wing - sometimes I see pictures where it is matte dark grey. Sometimes matte black. What's the real colour, Red Wing owners?

rider why do u want to know the underbelly color?

ahahah A cat collector! You will be pleased with the HMM BL Leon its a very nice kit. Becareful of the fangs when installing, they are really sharp.

transforming cat? hmmmmmmm....... is devastator a cat?

Congratulations QQ21 and DeinanCF on the overloading of your display cabinets.
There are always responsible people here if you need more caretakers for your Zoids. My display cabinet not even buckling yet!

About Decepticon "kitty" - Devastator? Yeah, looks like kittycat. Big, oversized, short-legged kitty cat. But of course, top of the list has to be Ravage. Too bad, the reentry mode of the toy kinda *meh*.

Wah! QQ2 is already starting to built his Zoids empire. I'm sure its getting larger every time.  Uwaaaahhhhh....these few month going to be very frustated, no extra fund for ZOIDS.....

DeinanCF , I'm sure your house is not only stuff with toys n zoids , but also cats merchandise , just guessing
