I have been using my models as my little treat for writing; finish a scene, get to spend more free time on this (I am at a particular part of the revising stage that Really Sucks lol) The head/chest had been done for awhile and I'd painted the translucent parts before, but that was awhile ago.
I painted the green green-er and the blue blue-r. I'm really happy with how deep blue it turned out. I've made a fair number of HMM kits by now, and you can really tell which ones were made at the start of the series life, because they got some weird/bad design decisons. Like the bottom connector for the side mane panels or the tail joints for the Liger Zero. the shin/knee armor connector joints also suck majorly, too, but that's not relevent for this model lol
I don't have a full inventory of all of my models, but I think I might have the most liger zeros?
- HMM Liger Zero X (seen here)
- HMM Liger Zero (regular)
- HMM Liger Zero Panzer Unit
- bootleg transparent Liger Zero Jaeger (that is currently wearing the Panzer armor lol)
- the ridiculous $400 die cast Liger Zero action figure
- Hasbro Liger Zero
- Hasbro Liger Zero Panzer Unit
I have multiple blade and shield ligers, of course, that just happens in this fandom lol. But Zero is probably the single "species" I have the most things of. I think as a kid it was my favorite zoid, but as an adult (who has interacted with all the other media) idk which is my favorite now. I like a whole lot of different designs for different reasons!
But yeah I thought I was done with this but as I was cleaning out the box and tossing the empty spures I found the sheet of waterslide decals. there wasn't a guide on where to put them in the booklet so idk if I'll do them or not.
Next will be the Shadow Fox; I want to paint it gold but I'll have to think of what I'll do with the other parts! But I'll work on a phoenix first (its one of those models you get at the craft store that are ostensibly for dioramas) so that'll just be painting, no assembling of stuff.
