anybody remember Zoids?

Posted by CallSignOWL on Sunday, May 30, 2010 1:58 PM

I have a little collection of old Zoid kits I put together as a kid, and I had not come up with an Idea as to what I was going to do with them....until now.

They are made of the same plastic as model airplanes,right? and at 1/72 scale, are little models in their own right. I bet these would look really cool with some weathering and battle damage.

How would I be able to re-build them around the mechanical bits meant to make them move? Does anybody have any thoughts on the matter?

Thanks!

The original 80's release or the late 90's and 2000+ release?

80's no not really

rerelease yes (hell just check my username Big Smile ), I've seen some wicked builds done of these kits.

The re-release, I think. I used to rush home after school so I could watch the show!! Love the username, BTW. Koning Wolf was my first Zoid kit I got! ....and I think it is the most complete one i still have.

What have you seen done? I'd like these to look good and would like to see what can be done with them.

I think I have about 2gib worth of images I'll trawl through some later see what I can find. I have a konigwolf in my stash waiting to be built. My first zoid was a Red Blade Liger, I've had a few over the years but my oldest boy is a bigger fan than me and between him and his siblings things went missing and eventually no more. I also have all episodes of the the different series Stick out tongue (though there maybe a new one on the last year or so I'm not sure)

that sounds great, cant wait to see pics! Yes

My brother and I would "fight" our Zoids and whomever knocked the most pieces off would win...though sometimes he would play that game all by himself, which led to my Shield Liger to take a tumble off the table and break off most of its tail....
