@@furionmax7824 hello. Yes, I used primer first before the actual paint color. Primer helps the color paint to stick to the parts better. For this model, I used spray cans for the most part like: major armors and bigger parts. Then I hand painted the smaller parts with tamiya acrylic paints for details. This was a rushed project since I was too busy at the time. I also did not own an airbrush kit yet back then, so this was a good practice for me as well. One of my tips for beginners is always use masking tape of any kind and cover the connectors or parts that go together. Paint ads thickness to parts, so masking the connectors makes the model build more smoothly without the parts being thick and tight to put together because of the paint.

@@プラモ屋イタチ thanks! 😊🤘

@iodaspark thanks for the comment friend. I don’t have the die-cast version to compare it to side-by-side, but the 1/72 scale is almost similar in size, etc. to the older 1/72 versions by Tomy and Hasbro.

Hello there! This particular one took me maybe between 5-8 hours of build time, which included experience and positioning the video for recording. It can definitely be built in 1-day for straight builds. Thanks and good question :)

Hello @adrimardacumos9177, thanks for your kind comment. I came across these kits in Shopee online by accident. The listing pops up randomly, so I recommend to always check when you can. The nostalgic experience is always what brought me back to collecting Zoids again. It took me almost 15 years later when I resumed collecting again, but never too late to restart. Enjoy!

That’s awesome! It’s one of the coolest Zoids out there too 😊

Alright, will find the videos and photos for it 😊

Thanks my friend 😊🙌

​@@xmakinas I also love zoids 🥰

@@thien_genz. I’m glad many people likes Zoids too! 😁🙌🤘👍

😊✌️

Hello, thanks for the gesture and I’m glad this can help anyone! I have more photos I can dig up, but not videos unfortunately. I can upload and post it on the X-Makina FB Page album of this kit, if that would help. Give me a few days to find the hard drive where I stored all the contents of this kit. Thanks again! Enjoy and hope to inspire more folks on their own project builds 😊

I’ll go check it out. I have adult money and loving this hobby so learning tips and info would be great especially if easier to reach you there. Thanks for commenting back, your paint job looked great. I just wanted learn how to do custom paint ones but not deal with taking off and figuring out where or how it went.

My 1st tip in custom painting kits is always use primer paint on first coat and make sure the item is clean from dust or debris to help the primer stick better and the paint after. Even a thin layer of primer would help a lot before painting the kit 😊

Appreciate the gesture, thank you bro! 🙏😊

Hey Thanks! Yes, this kit is actually better than some koto kits out there. Paint friendly, and does not get in the way much after painting unlike the cats, or other more articulated kits out there. I just always mask tape or avoid painting the connector parts and the usual to have a smooth build after paint. Have fun building more kits! 😊

Definitely worth the extra cannons, enjoy! 😊

The primer spray can has a huge spray area, so it got primed along with the parts 😂

Thanks! And Welcome to my channel! I do recommend the set to complete Gunner and it adds a lot 😊

Thanks! Yes, it was my 1st BT. I can’t speak to comparing it to another Saber Koto since I haven’t built my Saber Koto yet, but I will find out. This BT Saber had tight joints which needed some boring the holes to avoid tight friction and plastic stress. Having experience on building and customizing kits speeds up the process like it’s a normal kit to build. I honestly had fun building Saber, and the articulation is great 😊

@@xmakinas I will say its well worth the effort, Raven would be proud of this I would say!

@@panzershuriken6590 Yes, throwback vibes of the good memories of all the Zoids and Pilots. Thanks! 😊

its pretty much 50/50 on quality since they dont have quality control, either you get one thats okay or its just complete trash

@@opali_zero gotcha, i may stick with koto at least haha wonderful work btw

Thanks! It will show very little. I recommend doing touch ups on those spots. I made this project for those who want to start painting kits without an airbrush yet like at that time in my case. I recommend these kinds of painting for rush projects, parts that are inside and won’t show on the outside, and parts that can be touched with little paint brushes. It can also save more paint cans since cans spray larger areas to cover more parts. Although I didn’t do touch ups on this project because of the time I had, I learned a lot from this experience. As it is; when cutting painted parts the paint almost covers the snipped part also, like the cutter also acts like a brush that it brings some of the color and cover the cut parts. It’s quite intriguing to watch as I cut. When watching the video and its images, it is as it is :)

@@xmakinas as a fellow spray can painter, i can understand :) Thank you for your kind explanation!

@@TheRealBBFM you’re welcome :)

😊

Yes! I highly recommend this kit. It’s worth it for all the extra weapons it has compared to other kits that has basic weapons for the same price! :)

@@xmakinas Unfortunately I just got a huge tax bill, so no new kits for a while. I'm even selling some of my unbuilt Gundams and Hexagear kits to get a bit of extra dough. 😣

@@drewlovelyhell4892 Oh i see 😱 I know what you mean. Even I felt the property tax this year, and adding gas prices 🤯. There’s still hope, because the good news is the HMM Dark Horns are abundant this time around. Back in the 2013’s and 2014’s my first HMM DH was almost a rare piece with a high price almost double than it is now. I hope when things quiet down then you’ll have the chance for a Dark Horn 😊

I would suggest rebuilding the kit again. It’s possible that some parts may have been swapped. Carefully check the diagram on the manual when building it again, and also try to connect the parts lightly first before locking them into place and moving to the next step. I hope this helps! Build on! :)

You’re Welcome! Thank you! 🙇🏻‍♂️✌🏼

Thank you my friend! 🙇🏻‍♂️

Thank you my friend 🙇🏻‍♂️

Thank you my friend 🙏🏼🙇🏻‍♂️ Keep being Awesome! 😎🤙🏼

It's of course a limited edition :Đ

Hi, Yes, it’s a limited edition called Liger the Arthur :)

Thank you 🙇🏻‍♂️
