Zoids Group Build 2014

To be frank, I was afraid the response for this year's Zoids group build would be bad considering the lack of activity on the GB page. But the lads didn't disappoint me after all. I still manage to get 11 entries. And to my pleasant surprise, the quality is much better than last year's entries. A marked improvement for those who joined.

Zoids Group Build 2013

I have to admit. I am stunned by the strong turnout for the Zoids Group Build 2013 at Hobby Art @ Work. To be very frank, I expected many to fall out as the deadline approaches. But I was given a pleasant surprise by everyone! More than 15 Zoids were submitted! And the quality was pretty impressive as well.

HMM Iron King (Warmachine Version)

The craze started in November last year. While seeking to take a break from Gunpla, I chanced upon Kel Vinci's Berserk Fuhrer and the Zoids "bug" caught me instantly. Then I started hunting for these Highend Master Models or in short "HMM" Zoids. And before long, my collection grew to the point I had to clear out some of my Gundam stashes.

HMM Iron Kong - First Look

This will be my entry for the first Zoids Group Build this May, HMM Iron Kong. I consider this the Perfect Grade of Zoids because of its sheer size and number of parts. It would be a challenge for me since this is going to be my first painted HMM kit.

Zoids Group Build 2013

Something for the lads here. I noticed there is a spike in the interest for Zoids recently and after seeing all the hoots at local forums and even my FB, I think it's about time to start working on your backlog (that applies to me and Waylander as well). 

So, we're going to have a Zoids Group Build. Rules you say? Simple, Just Zoids, Zoids, Zoids and more Zoids, you can throw in extra elements like other mechas whatever, sky's the limit as long as the main kit is Zoids. Any Zoids kit is welcomed. Deadline is 4 May 2013 and I have sought the permission of  the bosses at Hobby Art @ Work to use their place for the meet. So come 4 May, bring your completed kit to share and learn! Who knows? I may throw in some prizes as well! ;) 

If you are keen and can make yourself available on  4 MAy 2013, indicate your interest here:

The collection so far...

Yes, I have been distracted recently. You can see I'm sidetracking from Gunpla a bit. Or maybe not... I am always fascinated with dinosaurs and robots, so with Zoids, you get both. 

To be frank, I started having Zoids when I was less than 10 years old. I had a handful of Tomy Zoids my dad bought from Hong Kong and some hand-them-downs from relatives. But that was about all I had back then. I did buy more when I was older but the interest eventually died off because they are just not popular enough so retailers abandoned them. 

So fast forward twenty years, I picked up this hobby. Took up Gunpla modeling, equipped myself with some skills and never looked back. Now, I have come to the point that I want to rekindle my passion for these mechanical dinosaurs. And I say there is no better time than now. 

Well, I decide to start by catching up with purchases of the HMM (Highend Master Model) Zoids. Obviously, I want to start building soon. But I need to plan where I am heading with this move. It's kinda "major" decision to me. 

"When I open this door, I will eventually close the other one..."

Gunzoids!

Ok, we got carried away. 

Rather than settle for one quick-build Gundam each, Waylander wants to add another model to the build, a Zoid. We going to make it as a recon unit. This could turn out to be something interesting. So your bet is on whose? LOL... 

Buster + Saber Tiger Combo 

Duel + Shadow Fox Combo

Anyway, I came across a similar build at Gundam Guy. A 1/144 Jesta and Saber Tiger. A very unique build. Takara Tomy and Bandai. Who would have thought LOL...

HMM Shadow Fox - First Look

Time for some relaxation before I go back into more serious builds. I choose the HMM Zoids, Shadow Fox for this little exercise. First, I really like the design of this fox, the gold and and dark blue colour scheme. I would love to do a dark gun metal and gold scheme. That would be cool.

New collection begins...

Before I begin, just want to say I am NOT suffering from Gundam burnt-out. But I cannot resist what Bandai is offering me, WarGreymon from the Digimon series. I watched the anime a long time ago but I still like it till today. This looks very like an action figure/ doll to me but I am buying it nonetheless when it release in November.

My first three and more to come.... 

And now another favorite. I have been resisting this for a long time. But the floodgates opened the last time I was in Hong Kong. Incidentally, my first toy was a Zoid which my mum bought me. I could still remember it was a frog like machine. Don't know when can I start building but I guess I can start to accumulate first :)...
