M.S.G. #26 Dynamic Chain Saw

I’m combining the regular post and the build review, just because. Is this one more fun to play with than the gatling gun? The answer may surprise you.

Some additional neat/interesting things I will point out pictorially, as soon as I stop being lazy:

  • The chain has 40 links. Two different types, 20 each. You will spend a LOT of time on that part.
  • One of the sprues comes with a couple of spare chain links (in dull flat grey). I guess if you hamhand one of the proper ones, all is not lost.
  • The handle can be removed, and this can just mount into an elbow joint of proper Giant Human Like Battle Robots (probably many HG gundams)
  • There are over 9000 hardpoints and whatever the opposite of hardpoints are called (holes?), so you should be able to find a way to attach this to your favorite Giant Human Like Battle Robot or Zoid. Be prepared to wait at least six months for proof of this (besides the Juaggu up there).

Perhaps in six months I will also post something better than crappy cameraphone pics. Though, to be fair, the crappy camera on my phone is at least as good as the ones that took most of the pics on this site (before I got the SLR in 2009).

Oh, and the answer is yes, by the way.

Abandoned ideas (2003–05)

Being abandoned swap ideas, all I have are the crappiest pics imaginable. Actually, 6–14 aren’t totally abandoned. I’m hoping that posting these horrible ancient pictures of awesome swaps will shame me into taking better pictures. Seriously, my phone has a better camera than the one that took these.

037 Ultrasaurus

In: 2nd Worldwide Release > Hasbro Variants
Posted: 2012-01-05

I’m putting this up mostly for historical completeness. Anyway, the Hasbro one’s big difference was that spacers were added to make its body wider, I guess because of US safety standards or something. Eventually this bugged me enough that I sold it. I think I was going to put the money toward a proper NJR, (cont’d)

From an old magazine

In: Customized Zoids > Found/Acquired

I have no idea where these came from or what the deal is. Someone sent me a few pages from an old (80s) Japanese magazine, and these were on one of the pages. I imagine it was some kind of contest. I also totally forgot to repost these when I moved everything to WordPress.

A motorized gatling gun with a totally hidden motor? How did they do it? The answer may surprise you.

This is from Kotobukiya’s M.S.G. (Modeling Support Goods) line of weapons and parts. While M.S.G. stuff is made for Giant Human Like Battle Robots, this one can (probably) be used on Zoids, so I’m including it here. Also, I have no other outlet for non-Zoid models. For now, check out the build review and this (cont’d)

I decided to use some of my fire sale profits to restore my NJR Zabat that gave up its life in a parts swap. This one is from Academy, which released Zoids in Korea. (The kit’s colors are identical to the NJR, and so is the packaging—except for Korean text instead of Japanese.)

Brass pilot

Blast from the past! A guy named Card (from the Zoidfans Yahoo group made this back in 2003. I forgot about it until just recently (March, 2011) when it fell out of a Zoid I was about to sell. It looks almost exactly like a chrome pilot, but it has an actual weight to it. (cont’d)

Just making this post to show that I have two of these MIB, if anyone’s interested. I think they were the Pacific release, because they have a Tomy logo instead of Hasbro, and there is a sticker with Chinese writing on the back.

I have one of these MIB, if anyone’s interested. Fun fact: this almost always shows up on ebay listings as “Grachiosaur”. Hasbro font fail!

Horn Swaps

So far, all I have here is Dark Horn / Green Horn. I used to put the black parts from an NJR Red Horn on Dark Horn’s armor, but trying to get pictures was impossible. Not enough contrast. This would have also looked a lot better if the Dark Horn parts didn’t have those distinctive (cont’d)

EZ-038 Elephander

In: 2nd Worldwide Release > Guylos/Neo Zenebas
Posted: 2010-05-31

I love everything about Elephander, except its size relative to other Zoids. The body’s about the size of a Redhorn—not too big. It does have a lot of nice movement and detail, and a ton of extra bits, so I guess I’ll just pretend it’s a 1/100 scale kit.

TakaraTomy commemorated the 10th anniversary of the anime by releasing more anime-accurate versions of Ban/Van’s Shield Liger, and this hella sweet Kong belonging to Schwarz/Schubaltz. Making my own swap was not enough, once I saw the clear green motor and black inner frame. I also finally found a semi-good deal on ebay (although everytime someone (cont’d)

I’m not sure if I ever finished this. The build’s done, but I’m really unhappy with the paintjob, because pink is the most difficult/uncooperative color to work with. I’m also unhappy with the fact that it has fallen off the shelf and broken SEVERAL times. Like it’s against the law to paint one of the (cont’d)

For the longest time, people have wanted an HMM Kong. Especially me! But now that it’s out, and I have built it, I’m kind of disappointed, because it did not overcome the worst qualities of HMM kits—the fragility*. I haven’t gotten around to it yet, but this one’s going to require serious amounts of glue (cont’d)
