I remember, this was the first Zoid I fell in love with. I was at the Warehouse and the first Tomy Zoids I had ever seen were in store. There were other cool Zoids, like the red Blade Liger, as well as less cool ones, but the moment I laid eyes on the König Wolf…

Understanding the anti-masking sentiment
I have recently gotten to understand the anti-mask sentiment that has mostly been kept hidden from my social media feeds. It seems to cause a bit of debate between different groups. Some people are adamantly pro-masking and some prefer to avoid masking as they feel the hassle is not worth the outcome. Personally I have…
Where can a Kiwi get some Zoids?
Living in New Zealand, purchasing reasonably priced Zoids from a legitimate seller has its challenges since there are so few stores on our shores which stock kits of any brand. If you want to buy from over seas, the shipping costs alone are horrendous, and with the 15% GST added on to major online retailers,…

These pieces have four coats and, depending on how much paint I have left after coating the other pieces,…
Isolation day 19: Progress report
Yet another project that has been in progress for far too long; my custom Lightning Saix. This is only my second attempt at a custom, and the first one where I will be trying an airbrush finish. I accidentally stumbled across colourshift paints last year, and as soon as I saw them I knew that…
Unboxing Liger Zero Marking Plus
My new Zoids have finally arrived! Shipping to New Zealand cost as much as another whole Liger in and of itself, but it is still a lot better than the $160 price tag the cheapest store has (that’s approx €93, ¥11300, $105USD, you get the idea). I apologise for the potato photos. Of course I…
