M.S.G. #20 Gatling Gun

RCM — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 20:38:04 +0000

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 awesome vidya (which means it’s not mine).

Looking at all the reviews on the internets, it is painfully clear that I am missing a pic of this with the barrels spinning in a lovely motion blur. I will see what I can do about this!

Dark Spiner’s crabby friend! Snappy claws and spinning dome can also be activated by rolling across the floor.

2007-11: Berserk Poryzoid

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 king badasses of zoids in these colors.

ANYWAY, the story behind this one is that it’s an evolved form of the Poryzoid I made earlier. Because that’s what ~~pokemans~~ pokezoids do, right? The blade arm was inspired by this super limited CAS resin kit that I have no chance in hell of ever getting. Story-wise, maybe a Blade Liger got in the way and absorbed into the “evolving process” (which you can NOT watch on youtube). Gunbluster too, with those egg beater replacements!

I will try and take more pictures before the damn thing just explodes.

HMM-015 Iron Kong

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 just to keep it from shedding armor and fingers every time you look at it.

~~Pics still to come, if it can survive being photographed (don’t expect any exciting poses; I don’t have the patience).~~ Screw it, just look at Dalong’s pics instead.

*For a kit this size, it’s as fragile and fiddly as the Molga or Command Wolf (two of the worst in this regard). Kotobukiya has shown they CAN build sturdy kits—look at Saber Tiger and Gun Sniper! That makes it even more disappointing that the Kong is so weak.

Before I got it in my mitts I told myself that if this kit was as fiddly as I feared, that I was going to quit HMMs. The level of detail is incredible, and the kits are beautiful, but they’re just too expensive and I’m too clumsy for this to be a good deal.

HMM-013 Gun Sniper

Short review: WOOT! Long review to come. I love this little guy.

For now, check out the build review.

ARGH, the hoses on this one!

RZ-029 Storm Sworder

One of the early “brand new” designs of the NJR. Very sleek and the jet turbines everywhere are a nice touch.

2005: Blade Hawk (Full Metal Crash)

RCM — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 21:54:11 +0000

This is an odd bird. For its alternate mode it splits into a weapon (giant shuriken!) and armor for Murasame Liger. Since I don’t have a Murasame, I’m trying to think of customizing ideas…

PT-03 Shotwalker (Wave)

Well, I had to build it!
