Love your work! Question.. which sms gold paint would you use to achieve the closest possible match to the limited gold version? I’m getting the great saber marking plus soon & want to paint it to be as close to the limited gold version as possible (& this will be my first time painting a Zoid)
@Beastsbuilds6 күн бұрын
Thank you! My guess would be red gold, but I'd say message Scott via email (the SMS owner) and attach a pic of the gold Saber, he's a really nice guy and will be able to confirm what the best path is. Good luck on your first paint! Make sure to test spray on something such as the parts runners before you begin on the parts, so you can get a feel for the adjustments and distance to spray at 8)

It's 1-1 but with a slightly less visual quality. The build requires a bit more elbow grease and has some tight fits, so take your time and gently sand down anything that's too tight and use super glue where required.

Takom really rather than attacking him need to employ David Bryden to fix the numerous accuracy issues. Imagine Dragon accuracy with Takom build and engineering. Mind you the Takom Apache has the worst instructions in history so not everyone is immune. Nice build good to see some Tiger options but little accuracy errors are just lazy these days from Takom as the information is out there. Still nice to see Dragon getting well priced competition!

Thank you! here in Melbourne its hard to come across zoids in city other then going to conventions to snag one (there was a store that held sturm for 300 but is mostly filled with Gundams now compared to last year) most of it goes with critical hit having Konig wolfs ready at the double with some stingers otherwise there can be some hole in wall places that have a good stock (the store I got reddra for 90 from should be having an online store sometime sooner or later they check for the lower price the kit may have which makes it cheaper then the tag) otherwise I just used hobbyco to get my 2 furies and saber 😆

Nice mate! I'd say that getting yourself a nice silver shade for the cables and 'bolts' around the model will help it bloom, along with Nuln Oil by Citadel for the panel lining to make flat coloured areas pop nicely. You can also consider adding in some gold on the rings on the horn and guns to separate the blocks of colour.

Being completely new, I'd say stick with either markers or a brush and try using both on something other than your model first, such as an old figure etc so you can get a feel for it. Practice makes it easier before you go near your kit, I wouldn't try and airbrush just yet, they're expensive to set up if you find it's not for you.

The irony is that the Sturm Tyrann is actually using the same Repackage joints from the Berserk Fury. Even with the same Repackaged joints, the backpack AND the giant claws on the forearms is just way too heavy which is the main cause for the droopiness of this kit. However, I can attest to the Repackage Fury joints being so much better, albeit it does have some of the same issues as the Tyrann, so I expect mine to slowly lose stability over the years which is expected with most older kits.
@Beastsbuilds4 ай бұрын
Sadly I've got the 2018 Sturm Tyrann, basically the original fury gummy legs are the issue. I built the 2019 repack fury not long ago on this channel and it's crisp, very good for posing and really strong from the posing challenges I put it through, that being said, I hope Koto puts out some retroactive fix kits for the problem ones, such as the sturm, blade/shield ligers etc.
@twinbladedxd4 ай бұрын
@@Beastsbuilds Ahhh fair enough. My Tyrann was one of the reprints around 2021 onwards. I noticed the leg/knee joints were the same on the Repackage Fury that I built a couple of months ago so that's why I assumed it was the same. I've seen comments saying that the Tyrann release from 2018 onwards uses those same Repackage joints. 100% on the last part, would love to see a saber tiger and blade liger versions where they fix their joints (good lord my saber tiger is horrendous I can't pose it well due to the PC part in the leg joints). Sadly Kotobukiya won't do these anymore because the cost to print these kits are just too much. The recent Konig Wolf is a good example, with the cost of it being more expensive than the Liger Zero reprints (Empire/ X).
@Beastsbuilds4 ай бұрын
@@twinbladedxd As far as I'm aware, the knee joints should be the same for both, I thought it was only the ankles that were addressed later in the sturm/repack fury? The funniest part is I have both the original Schubaltz saber and original red saber from the first runs, my very first hmms wayyyy back when, and they're still perfect to this day. I'm entirely convinced that humidity/climate affects these kits the most. You're right though, it does come down to profit and cost, and sadly it most likely isn't in their best interest to do anything about it. That being said, I've been considering 3d sculpting some of the 'pc' parts and seeing how they go with resin, perhaps this sturm would be a good guinea pig!
