I have the following backlog of HMMs that need building... Anyone think maybe I lack patience ^^;
Saber Tiger Gold's out end of this month too... I need to get my arse in gear so I can shift some of these boxes! Just when I thought the supply of Zoids in the UK had dried up completely, I found this while out shopping! I think it had been sitting in the warehouse for a while now. Apparently it was was found and sent to them just before Christmas.
He needed a little DIY on his tail. There was a deformity in one of the joints that caused it to fall apart, but Dr Ghostie comes to the rescue. It's now good as new. I finally got round to building and photographing these XD Blox Unenlagia and Mosasledge.
It took ages to get Unenlagia to stand properly for this photo ^^; I came home from work yesterday to find that a parcel notice saying "Hi we dropped by but you were out, parcel needs a signature blah de blah de blah" (which is absolute bull, because my future Mother-in-Law was in all day and the doorbell works) which meant that I had to jump onto a bus to the next town today to pick it up The size of the parcel lead to some funny looks on the on the way home, but it was worth it for this lot of Super 1000s They were very securely and lovingly wrapped, hence the big box, and are in lovely condition save for Zolkon who was missing a couple of parts. Thankfully I already own a Zolkon who needed part replacements so this one has now got NER Redler replacements. I'm planning to paint the purple armour (I won't be touching any of Zolkon's original parts), and possibly replace the wings with the NER spares if I decide to paint them too.
Originally the purple foot armour was on the back feet, but I changed that after my fiancé reckoned it looked like a cut and shut XD So after months and months I've finally finished my HMM Great Saber There's a reason he got the nickname Sorbet is due to a conversation between me and Pirate about a HMM Geno Saurer on eBay listed as Great Sauber. It mutated from that point XD
Great Saber is an awesome looking kit, but a bugger to handle. Let me tell you, getting the second photograph above took ages, because everytime I tried to pose him he just fell apart! Maybe that's his revenge for me taking so long to build him! Been a while since I updated this, but I haven't stopped getting the Zoids XD Revoltech Blade Liger came through Gorgeous looking box, but discovered the figure didn't look quite as great out of the box. Nice from a distance, but riddled with moulding issues up close. Next is yet another Claw. His name is Tsume! Tsume is very special... Tsume has ghost plastic under his Chrome... at least under the head and back armour. Third to arrive is HMM Lightning Saix Finally! Can't work out why it never showed up on Parcel Force's tracking site, but it doesn't matter now that my Saix is safely in my possession. And finally an OJR Sabre Tiger. He's missing a few things, like his eye canopy, some parts from sprue W, and the attachments that help his legs move, but I think I should already have what needs to be replaced. It's the item description for him that made me lol though. It was plain obvious that the seller was trying to look knowledgeable while actually having no idea what he/she was selling: "OER Original European Release - Red Liger / Tiger Zoid" Actually it's an OJR Sabre Tiger. The OER version is black not red. "The motor runs fine although I think the legs are out of sink, so the legs move (as they should) but the overall effect is standing still" - Yeah, this would be because he's missing vital motion components “The jaws open and close sometimes, and at other times just click. Maybe a cam or something needs lining up.” - Actually you'll probably find it's because the flash wasn't cut off. Then there's this: I fixed the on the far leg already, but both were like this when it arrived. Somebody wasn't reading the manual eh?
Sadly that Claw is also not Ghost, although Deathy has now agreed on a trade ^^
And I've now got the shipping notice for my Revoltech Blade Liger. All I can say is that it better be worth that stupidly high price. I've heard it's not very big. First off, pictures of HMM Liger Zero in its colour scheme have now surfaced: The legs are a bit too long, but I will admit it looks a damn sight better with its colour scheme. Ami Ami has pre-orders up (26% discount off RRP) So, what've I been up to since my last post... Well, I finally finished building and stickering HMM Red Horn, and cleaned up the table so he has some space to sit. So next on the agenda is this guy: He's partway done already. He's got a head, neck, chest and I'm now working on the butt. Also I now have a very happy Z2 Ultrasaurus! The parts I spoke about last time came through and I was able to replace a great deal of Ultra's sun damaged and broken parts. Finally, I got another Claw in my search for a Ghost Shield Tiger.
It's recorded on my Ghost Shield Tiger quest log Snagged a lot of Zoids2 Ultrasaurus and Zoidzilla parts off eBay!
Hoping to use them to restore some of the damaged parts of my Ultrasaurus and Wiki's Zoidzilla. ^^ I received my Holotech Spinosnapper from Deathy in the post today ^^ He was missing his left hand, tail gun and headpiece, but thankfully the grey of the hand and tail gun is identical to that of the NER white Spinosnapper, of which I have spares and was able to replace them. Sadly, HT Spinosnapper's headpiece is transparent orange, and I only had a white one to replace it with, so he's not quite complete yet. Additionally, I scored another Claw in my search for a Ghost Shield Tiger
