Hi, I am Gundam76. Introduce by EDMAESTRO to this forum

Previously, I used to do Gundam models. Now, I change direction

Now, I am having a red saber tiger, Black saber tiger with big weapon on its body. and recently, I bought another zoids that is Geno breaker.

I am still building the red saber tiger, very slow cos I need to sand it, apply putty and eventually Air brush it.

The black saber tiger and the Geno breaker is above my cupboard, it will take some time to complete

I hope every one in this forum will help and share more of the zoids cos I am new here..

thanks ahtiven.... yes, thanks to EDMAESTRO, if not...I wont know...

yes, I will post my WIP and let you all comment, so that I too can improve on my HMM models....

yes, all of you well spoken. HMM really very challenging, many small detail parts and very interesting. I too also enjoy building it, but if I am not in a good mood, better don't do, sure the result will not be so good. take our own sweet time assemble it. The end result will be very rewarding.

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.




you may find it cheaper but the handling chargers is expensive ....

this is the website you can refer

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10079114

http://www.hlj.com/product/KBYZD19

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

Good work and thanks for sharing...

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...

hey brother...you are giving us the technical information...I really like that you are really sharing your knowledge. you are very kind !!

THANK YOU SO MUCH...

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/

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 ....

orgenthau, thanks for the comment

Yes...you are right..it is not easy when come to painting...

Btw, are you using hand paint or air brush ?? The colour seems like very evenly painted ....

The red part is too thick, do you think so ?? Do you mix with other colour when you apply colour ? for me, my sifu told me every colour have to mix at least 2 type of colour so that the result is better.

I hope I have a chance to meet you so that we can really discuss about AB, how to mix with colour and others...

well, sorry If I hurt your feeling, if the colour is thick it is ok, but the way I look at it, thick and uneven very obvious......

I like to mix with colour, the result is better and it looks more striking .... once I try out some of the colour, it is a new discovery
new challenge and new experience.. I sometimes do screw up but I learn from mistake.

if you want to play safe, you can ask them 1st before you pay.

I suggest you go into more reliable website such as Hobby link Japan

hi there, I bought a lot more cheaper , it depends where you buy. Honestly, Rm270 is rather too high liao...If I were you, I will pay extra for the new Geno Breaker.

The one I am building is red saber tiger, Honestly, the plastic is not so good, very fragile. You need to handle carefully, especially asemble it....Take note. However, It is fun to do the assemble. You will NOT regret buying it.

Previously I do Gundam models, now I change direction. however, I still do Gundam, just that not much liao..this year planning is HMM zoids. maybe next year for Gundam, BB Gundam only, not thinking about MG or HG. Just plan only cos budget constrain.

Added on March 19, 2009, 3:43 pmSorry Brother Ed, I dont agree with you. Bandai plastic is better than KOTO. this is because I have done many of Gundam models and I do know about it, I have friends in Penang also break some small small parts in saber tiger.

Well, the story is like that, KOTO brand is in Japan, the designer is from Japan, but the moulding is in China. The quality is not so good compare to Bandai. Bandai is fully from Japan.

Hi faizzaki, the glue is not use. dont worry. However, if that parts doesn't fit well, then you have no choice but to use it. I am still my red Saber tiger.

Pro : Zoids model is good : well design and very detail. I like compare to Gundam. they even have very small parts that need to assemble.

Cons : plastic is not so good compare to Bandai. Bandai is using engineering plastic material. I have done PG/MG Gundam, and the plastic is better.

yes, Ed...

Actually what Ed said is true....The plastic is not as bad as what people said, cos the Japanese people got quality control. You dont have to worry about breaking it, any plastic material is not handle properly will also end up breaking. NOt only Koto but also Bandai as well.

However, I do know the new Geno Breaker, the plastic material is a lot more improvement. If anyone have it, try notice the red parts, got some things like shinning and a bit looks like oilly, ahhh... that one is good plastic. I think ED has finish it, he should know better.

Dont worry about breaking it. you will not regret for HMM model you buy.Nowadays the quality has been improve compare many years ago.
