.. Just realized I took zero pictures of the arms, which are actually totally done! Oops.

Anyway, core shot and what's done of the body so far. I'm not colouring everything violet, mostly just kind of hitting stuff that I hope will peek through the armour.

Speaking of, I'm waiting for most of it to dry, for the torso. starting some work on the tail next I think, though leaving the legs for last may be a mistake.

1: PEET FICS!

2: And yeah, rev raptor's a great build, fast even when you take care. The raven raptor's just a variant of that before you add the pile bunker, but we're not doing that here

3: Ah, here we go. The mount for the booster cannons fits the wild weasel gatlings quite nicely, and gives them just the clearance they need to be above the blades.

Sort of ironic Sirius isn't getting the lance weapon, given who he's named after...

#Zoids #ModelBuilding #PlaMo

Snake form's already achieved, though in this case I would make the comparison to bananas more...

This build is really quick when you know what you're doing, and I still remember Charlie pretty well. I'm also more aware that glue is totally not a necessity anywhere here so I haven't bothered.

Wanted to point out this grill detail though. On the original it's red into grey and looks fine, but here? Mm, gorgeous.

#Zoids #ModelBuilding #PlaMo

Okay, getting underway pretty early because I, uh, didn't sleep basically at all last night for mysterious reasons.

It's funny, I specifically said I don't need a second rev raptor but here we are with the raven variant. I love the colours in this; I considered holding the build till I order some silver markers for the grey parts, but uh. They're gorgeous and shiny without, I really can't improve on that without actual plating.

Meet Sirius (agender, he/him)

#Zoids #ModelBuilding #PlaMo

Okay, well.

That was an *experiment* and I can't say it went too poorly? But also wow this is held together by gravity and prayer.

Remember Edgar? It's been sitting there almost totally unarmed since I build it and I really wanted it to have Final Boss Energy for the display.

So, one pair of adapters from my wolves, one lightly-disassembled wild weasel base, and one pair of charged particle beam-firing buster claws for its back.

Edgar is now my Manticore Liger*

*for now

#Zoids #PlaMo

The picture does a pretty good job of getting across how the plastic looks now, but it doesn't hurt to add a video to really sell how the light hits it.

Anyway, not bad for a C$15 add-on to an order that was already going to cost me quite a bit regardless.

I'll dig into the other two boxes another time; I'm planning some customizations to go around and I don't want to be, ah, completely disappointed with that after doing this :blobcatgiggle:

#Zoids #ModelBuilding #PlaMo

1: I took the opportunity to switch her pilot for something a bit more fitting. He doesn't show up too well behind the amber cockpit, but y'know.

2: The head might've been the hardest part, getting it split in half without messing with the tubes on the neck. The rest of the limbs took time but were pretty okay. I fixed some of my colour errors from the original build, too!

3: And here she is finished. So shiny!

4: Fallen soldiers. It's a lot of now-unused parts!

#Zoids #ModelBuilding #PlaMo

My package arrived!

Ordinarily I'd follow the whole progression of a thing as I did it, but this was supposed to be the appetizer (the Big One's not happening for a while, need paints for it) buuuut it turned out to take quite a bit of Effort anyway.

Anyway, this is Kotobukiya's HMM Customize Parts #014, aka "sprues G and E of the gun sniper in chromed silver." Abigail is getting some upgrades.

Well, mostly she's getting some resplendent armour.

Zoids brain continues with a cute lil pair of Helcat Noir.

Despite being a little windup the Helcat is in my top 3 favorite Zoids and the Noir is the most GORGEOUS shimmering green.

Built this boi today too. Ruin/Gilraptor and Drake are two of my favorite characters in Zoids Wild. I love the bad dudes lmao.

The gift for myself I've been paying off for awhile.

Chogokin Liger Zero; beautiful diecast boy.

You know, one thing in #Zoids lore that kind of gets glossed over is that Zoids evolved most of the way on their own—the metallic exoskeletons are natural developments brought about by their environment, only stuff like cockpits and installed weaponry were actually man-made and/or domestication.

What I'm getting at here is that,

legally,

Turians are Zoids.

Hasbro Battle Cougar; in all of his burgers and fries color scheme glory lmao.

I built my Rising Liger Infinity Blue today and he's a gorgeous boy.

Not a ton of pictures of the process this time around. There were Things happening, and also I did already build a command wolf and share it on here (technically .lol but y'know, images and such documented in the tag on my profile and all)

Iris is pretty well stuck in the LR configuration; the empire wolf actually predates the AC version and its special bits. I like her this way, though!

She doesn't have a pilot for now, but that'll change soon enough..

#Zoids #ModelBuilding #PlaMo

Started shaking badly enough doing the first leg I have to stop for a bit. This is at least more of a "low blood sugar" thing than an autistic lack of fine motor control thing.

It's... probably a sign of something or other how much happier it makes me when it's just blood sugar.

Anyway, feet pics!

#Zoids #ModelBuilding #PlaMo

Been sitting on this one a while as she came in with the rainbow jerk, but here's the command wolf, empire version!

I love these "stolen" designs, they're just a paint job but it's such a neat thing regardless. This model is from way back in 2006 or so when the HMM series started, and hasn't been reprinted so she's an old one!

Just building another one of these is like, "how did I ever do the first one with /scissors/?

Here's the Sniptera from Zoids Wild! I love him a lot.
