I think I'm going to switch over to Gundams for a bit. I actually like building them more. Zoids have just been way too expensive anymore and I can get Gundams with really cheap shipping from Gundam Store and More since their store is in the US. I really wish Tomy would give Bandai a chance to make some zoids since Bandai makes some great cheap models. I ended up getting a new model of my favorite Gundam, the Deathscythe Hell Custom that was in Gundam Wing Endless Waltz. I have the 1/144 scale version, but wanted to upgrade to the 1/100 since the 1/144 scale's wings always fall off and the 1/100 had an actual clear scythe. Also the 1/100 came with a Duo figure! He was my favorite character XD They recently made a Master Grade that just came out in February. Will definitely be painting it soon. After I finish up my Tallgeese Gundam. Already painted the Duo figure X3  Unpainted Duo figure. Was a pain to paint.  Just for scale, there's Mugen thrown in there too. Though the Zoids are 1/72 scale.  And close up of the gundam and Duo  |

TRAITOR!!
Well, at least it's a Deathscythe, so it's not so bad.
Had my eye on that one for a while, but just never got the chance to get one. He's not a bad size ^^
Nice work on Duo. Sadly if I got this guy mine would have to stay the way he is. *Paintwork fail*

Ew Gundams, you traitor ¬¬ LOL! Heh yeah my little dark secret that I like building them better X3 Esp the new ones that have some really unique builds. Zoids might have gotten me into drawing, but Gundams are what got me into mechs. @ghostie: If you do get one, I bet you could paint Duo. Just use fine point sharpies for the really small details. I have faith you could. |

If you were ever able to come to Australia in the Sydney area, Hobby Co's worth a visit, they have craploads of Gundams. (It was so full in one section of the store that it was difficult to find the Koto Zoids ._.)

Oh awesome! O__O Though if they have koto zoids too, I'd go for them first XD I do recommend looking into Gundams for zoid custom parts. It's why 90% of my Gundams become zoids... I even buy certain Gundams specifically for zoids X3

They only had 3 HMM Red Horns the last I visited, I took the last of their Buster Tortoise. Not sure if they'll bring in Schneider and the likes :s
I've been trying to find that horse Gundam since I wanted to Zoid-ify it lol....

I got a gundam I got from a thrift store, and since no one showed interest in it, I've decided to butcher it eventually. XD
Horse gundam? *is so un-gundamy.*

Yep the horse is named Fuunsaiki and he's from G Gundam. You'll probably find it with the Master Gundam. I know I got mine from a set of the two together.  |

Ooh I see, not sure if HobbyCo'd have the set but I'll have a look again when I go next month (maybe). Dunno if I'll really go ahead with getting one and customize it *shrug* :s We'll see XD

I have shaky hands as well. I have to set my hand on something to use as a brace then it's usually ok. That would be a good test and if you can do that then Duo would be no problem since his figure is a lot bigger.
