Zoids Wild Hunter Wolf

I love this kit! I’d say its my favorite design from Zoids Wild thus far. Like Wild Liger it went together pretty smoothly, though the head seam on mine does have a bit of separation. Eventually I’ll paint the teeth, and maybe the claws too. I’d really love to get a second one to paint, I think it would look great in other colors!

Photoset of Zeek Dober ‘450th battalion’

I think it’s safe to say, that at some point or another we’ve (zoids fans as a collective we) have wanted a Zeekdober model kit. I know I have. Its such a lovely shape, a lovely face. Not so lovely is the availability.

Except when you find a (kind of) MIB OJR Zeekdober on eBay for under $60. So of course I nabbed it.

This was my first OJR from the second wave of kits they made in 1987 and it’s kind of quaint, really building one. Assembling the actual battery component was whimsical in a way. 

While this kit was marked MiB and it was, in a sense, the bags were sealed but the actual plastic runners had, at some point been exposed to something that smelled like a skunk had taken an aromatherapy class and then promptly flunked that class after an all night bender. I managed to de-stink it but ended up with slight colour variations. Which looked…bad. That red plastic is unforgiving and nigh impossible to colour match.

So I ended up detailing the pup, but I used water based paints, so if need be, I can strip it back down to bare plastic if the need arises.

Zeekdober is a bit plain without stickers but the ones in the box were unusable, so I improvised with some left over waterslide decals that complimented the colour scheme nicely. 

This is a very good boy I’m delighted to add to my collection.

Volcano Zenebas/Covenant Base?!

Yeah I know my diorama has been coming along at a snails pace. Life and whatnot has been just keeping me away. But now I’ve got a plan for my second base!

Called Tenebrus, it’s going to be a 3 story base carved into an active volcano! It’s going to have 3 large hangars, one specifically for the Eisen Dragoon and their living quarters (the cool palace tower thing!).

I also wanted to have Zenebas have a very Asian aesthetic to keep it easily discernible from Guylos and Helic. So I’m gathering mostly japense but some other Asian themed architecture for Tenebrus.

I plan to start carving the skeleton of the base from leftover thick plywood this Saturday so expect an update (finally) then.

Shield Liger DCU: Heavy Weaponry!

The Shield Liger Defensive Command Unit (DCU), paired with a set of double beam cannons makes for an intimidating force. A monster on the battlefield, with a strong forward facing shield and now equipped with massive cannons and larger missile pods, DCU can take what it can dish out. While slower and heavier with the new weapons, DCU is just as aggressive and does not shy away from close range combat, using its Shield to bash enemies and powerful legs and jaws to tear metal apart. Its pilot however prefers a more cautious approach, using the increased range to thin and weaken the enemy from afar before getting in close. 

With new weapons comes new rules “If you’re going to pick a fight without me, don’t waste the ammo!”

Happy Thanksgiving!

The best defense is a good offense!

Introducing Shield Liger Defensive Command Unit: Heavy Weaponry!

This is DCU’s “true” form, the way I always envisioned this model, with giant cannons! Never thought I would be able to though, I had never seen the cannons sold on their own, legit or bootleg. But, I’m glad I was able to find a set on aliexpress. A bit of paint and a lot of panel lining later and DCU has a brand new set of weapons!
