After a while of trying to search for a replacement of my Holotech War dickshark's tail end, I gave up and decided to do something about the tail I thought was broken, it was only missing the pieces that goes through the holes. So I grabbed the Dark Spiner wrist armour pieces, sanded/cut down the nubs and superglued them on. I will be painting the tail end a metallic purple or something close enough ;D Here's some pics of my progress so far, plus an comparison look with my 100% complete Standard War dickshark:    |

Hmm, I know you said you wanted to paint it metallic purple... but how about using black? It might contrast well with the parts on his back and not look as out of place as metallic purple might.

Dang, that holoshark looks cool! And in the second pic it looks like he's a guppy with the shape of that ziplock bag behind it.  Warguppy... Now there's an idea! I also want a Wardick... Though the version I prefer (dark) is a bit too pricey... Can buy a lot of other cool Zoids for that.  |

Awesome replacement job! I agree with Ghostie on the idea of painting it black for the same reasons ;3
I really like that holotech Wardick too! I mostly just like the colors.

Alright! Metallic paints!!!! ;D Indeed ;D I was surprised at how small the paint containers are and got a few doubles JUST in case one runs out XD. Because I got a few Zoids I wanna paint either to look better or just to give it a new colour scheme. |

It's why I just go with craft paints XD; |

Folk Art o.O *plans to pester her mum about it* I wish I discovered that earlier!!! XDD |
