  1. Of course it wouldn't be an AZ build without video. It really do be Crab That Just Walks.

    I'm a little torn whether he even needs a name, considering the core is... barely there. I'll think on it.

    Despite some issues I have with the model itself, I do love the sea panzer for what it is:

    One of the little guys of all time.

  2. It's a small model that's not all that complicated; I did align the shell bits wrong on the first try and had to pull it apart to fix something, but otherwise besides the new parts it's pretty much the same as the OJR release.

    I did some painting, naturally. Did the missiles on the back (which, because that's also the switch, it's also been stripped by my finger oils in just a few power cycles) and some gold details on the gun and radar dish.

  3. I don't even remember when I bought the sea panther. It's been a long while that I've had the box, but I didn't want to build a Zoid without knowing I did it right, and in this AZ kit's case, that means running the motor.

    Which uses an LR1 battery.

    I had to buy one online.

    All the reviews of this thing I saw when it came up mentioned the same thing: the red plastic is an interesting metallic red colour that doesn't come across that well in photographs.

  5. And like, there's more, I kept taking pictures. One showing off a bit of the claws' articulation, plus the boosters on the back which I've only mentioned in alt text, move along two axes.

    One showing her as a red geno saurer. I actually love this look, maybe even more than the stock actually?

    Finally, Can She Do The Pose™. Sort of? I mean, the spine doesn't straighten all the way out, but the tail opens up!

    Since I ran out of gorgons... Garuda seems perfect.

  6. Of course we have to do a video too.

    This doesn't nearly show off how awesome those claws are. They're on extending arms that can hold them out and at various angles. "But wait, they move when it's on?" *Yeah.* You can disengage a latch on the back, a catch on the front, and some guides on the bottom, and move them around, open or close the claws, whatever, they'll stop moving with the model but she can still walk just fine. Even at weird angles, it's incredible.

  7. Models you finish and are just like, "how do I even begin the final post"

    The 'breaker comes with all of the geno saurer bits, including the main weapon and both of the head cannon options. There's also colour options for the cheeks (they can be red instead of silver, but I like the colour separation) and the cockpit hatch (also red)

    It also comes with everyone's favourite probably-an-egg really mad pilot, Raven, and ~~her~~ his organoid Shadow.

  8. Also extremely into this arm situation. The legs have "working" pistons too, but it's so cool to see them on an articulated part like this.

    on a *motorized model.*

  9. I love how the larger AZ kits are armour-over-skeleton. It's the one big thing they have over the HMMs, for me. The geno skeleton in particular is so cool and detailed, though I think I would prefer it if the tail didn't have big hollows where the vents are going to go.

    The geno saurer gun is like ten parts total. The geno breaker one is a wildly intricate box of extreme articulation which can be linked to the motor in a way that's nothing short of incredible.

  10. So that spring goes in the toe so that when it lifts its feet the toes kind of tuck inward, and when it plants its feet back down they splay out again due to the shape of the molding.

    It's really fucking cool and is absolutely another case of the AZ line of Zoids showing off in the engineering department yet again

  11. Hey you know what I haven't done in a long-ass time? Let's fix that.

    So, she's another -saurer series and I ran out of gorgon sisters, so I'm still working on a name.

    Funny enough, I didn't actually like the geno Breaker for the longest time, but what sold me on the AZ version of it was the fact it comes will full geno saurer armour in red, too. And their guns. And everything.

    What sold me on the AZ *geno* on the other hand are these springs. More in the followup

  12. I only just opened the box for Meltina to start organizing and have 2 things snapped off the runners. I am hoping this is the worst thing to happen this round lol...

    Photos don't really do the colour justice though. Its very pretty and I am reconsidering if I want to paint it.

  13. It's happening!

    Finally a mass produced kit of the TIE Bomber! And at a decent scale!

    🥳

    Already had my pre-order into CultTVMan's Hobbyshop.

    But it's nice to seem some good box art ...

  15. After having a conversation about making small wood and paperboard model kits I'm wondering:

    Does anyone sell a small affordable lasercutter / engraver that's just enough to do one or two mm thick MDF / board?

  17. We just refreshed our forum for scale models and scale model 3D printing.

    We are trying to have a place for people who don't want to be on big social media (Farcebook, Instasham, etc.)

    Check it out, post WIPs, finished builds or just lurk.

    NOTE: I'm an Admin over there, and we are keeping the lights on through donations and a couple online shops.

  18. Next model on the bench.

    The 1/650 Klingon D7 Battle Cruiser. This is the most recent re-release from Round2 Models.

    Going old-school with a "mostly" out of the box build.

    This will be for a Star Trek 60th Anniversary group build with some online modeling buddies of mine.

    I see a lot of putty and primer in my future ... Starting soon.

  19. 🧵 1/3

    I am done with the Bride of Frankenstein. And in time for the deadline!

    Here's my finished pics (enough for a thread).

    It's not perfect, but I'm getting better.

  20. Work on the #BrideOfFrankenstein continues.

    Tomorrow I can gloss/satin seal for a save point. Then, I have to wait a couple days until after Mom's surgery for weathering and face details.

    I need to have it done by the 28th, so we'll see.

  21. I think I've done enough damage with the airbrush. Time for some hand painting. The Badger Sotar 20/20 never disappoints.

  22. A bit of work on my K67 H0 scale kiosk. Printed some magazine shelves for the front, put a background with more magazines.

    One of the few times I wished my laser printer had a higher resolution.

  23. The X-Plus Bride has been primed. Duplicolor automotive black, and Tamiya Grey and Fine White (zenithal).

    I did the gap filling with Apoxie Sculpt and some Liquitex Modeling Paste.

    Now to let that dry and pick out colors.
