Xnyhc73: hey there welcome to LYN ZOids Club. The best and trusted site to order now would be www.HLJ.com
and the direct link to zoids HLJ ZOIDS HMM They have almost complete list of HMM zoids there is.

i like the word bazillion, if you've spent your childhood int he 80's im sure those bazillion zoids you have would have worth bazillion Dollars! LOL

MOgenthau: So can i put you name in the confirmed list? Bring yourself and your modellers brain is good enough for us.

Coleturner: Yea building HMM has a strain on every part of your body. My eyes gets blurry and i can't look at the manual afar. Every parts completed you need to get up and walk around, smoke or something. I had this phobia sometimes, when you open the box and close it back immediately and wait for another day.

Dunnola Ed, damn paiseh if I suddenly show up after all this while with nothing to my name.... I think you can put my name in. I'll try to rush as fast as possible.

For building HMM it helps if you don't rush in it all at once. Patience is a virtue at most 3 hours a day on the kit so you don't lose interest and fatigue. I took 2 months to assemble a command wolf...

Couldn't agree more. I was building Saber Tiger Schwalz last night, work until 3am, got impatient at a stuck piece and used too much force, almost snapped it. sweat.gif ended up with a bloody finger.

as much as i love the mechanical ingenuity of the TOMY zoids, i really enjoy the process of building the Koto HMM kits. but it's really easy to work on for too long and got tired and impatient. or maybe it's just me. biggrin.gif

3am is definitely not agood time to be building kits... Especially when dealing with knives as well. sweat.gif

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 ....

Airbrush of course! icon_rolleyes.gif

Edmaestro: Yeah, nothing like a wet, soggy, bashed in box left by the postman on your car porch to brighten up your day!

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...

Not really, have you seen Brembo disc brakes before? Their calipers are really heavy-duty painted stuff, which I sought to replicate here.

It's up to the preference of the builder to mix the color for their kits. For me, I'd prefer to use out of bottle colors as I have terrible long-term memory . I tried experimenting and always end up mixing different colors each time.

Again, it's all up to the builder. I might be going for the April 11 gathering so that's a good time. happy.gif

MKII SL & CW LC was part of the release cos the mould was already there and for them to max. profit.

Fatigue or just plain old tulan I guess. I rarely build two kits of the same design. happy.gif

i would recommend HLJ as well, superb customer service, superb packaging, superb fast service. with all these three 'superbs', one would not mind paying a lil extra though. or else it will end up like Morgen's wolf ac box. tongue.gif tongue.gif

Service... It's good, after you're done prodding them one or two times. sweat.gif

I bought the CW AC from Play Asia and it came with free shipping so I guess you get what you pay. tongue.gif

The back leg not yet done !! this is because I study the manual, it is very tough and time consuming...
The head, to me I always put last, even for Gundam model. Cos the head is more critical. I want to be more careful when doing it.

Comments are most welcome.

Have you checked the armor plastic for blemishes and sinkmarks yets? Koto kits are notorious for the incredible amount of sinkmarks. As a rule I usually sand all parts down to check for any sinkmarks to fix. icon_rolleyes.gif

Gundam76: The parts look good; keep it up! Soon, you will have an awesome completed kit on your hands.

Edmaestro: Nice work there on the snapfit. The flat topcoat is an awesome idea!

Gundam76L wah very deep modeller talk goin on here. Good Good! Gundam76 I can't comment cos im not a modeller. I can see its a fine work you got there.

The reason you dont see the cut mark is i paint it over with gundam marker. lol And btw im not a hardcore in modelling. Just playing for fun. Hardcore is like Kindredd and Morgenthau.

Kindredd. Yea i know you can cos u showed me the glow glow paint. LOL But with a fee?? nah its ok i can wait for the official one.

Morgenthau: Modeller has good eyes like yours. Though snap fit i did do some coating on some parts. but not all parts needed it, gained from bad experience. oh, i used industrial top coat from my factory.

Since talking about saber, nice custom on the limbs

Hmm, that is the way to go if you're not planning to paint it. The flat coat makes it less plasticky and brigs out the color of the plastic. If you're free, you can pop in to Popular or any inidan bookstore to pick up a copy of the chinese version of Dengeki Hobby. Although the HK version cuts out the Zoids installment, you can pick up some modeling tips here and there from the mag which can be useful sprucing up your HMMs.

I bet Ed learnt the topcoat from there. tongue.gif

Added on
Some time


I will only buy a saber tiger if they release a HMM Great Sabre... whistling.gif
