Anyone else have an interest in scale models that aren't cars? Gundams, Eva units, Zoids and others are welcome. Basically any scale model that isn't a car, airplane or boat. Customs welcome also.

Please include model name, manufacturer, scale, and build time.

That Sword fish II looks awesome! Zoids look great too. 👍

I remember having a small Zoid spider thing when i was a kid, but don't have it anymore.
I've got a small Honda P3 model kit (ASIMO), knocking about somewhere, i'll try and find it and post a pic.

I'd like to try weathering one of my kits. I've seen it done before and it looks great. I'm just a little hesitant to try. Maybe on one of the cheap kits I have coming in the mail.
 
It's like putting on make up; powder and all. It takes more than one stroke of the foam applicator to overdo something so it's not there are big stakes. And if need be, you can wash it off with water.

Tamiya's got two different sets you can try out. I like using the mud weathering stick to do rally cars.
 
I used to collect Zoid models when I was younger! I would order them from over seas, wait months and be sad, and then be so damn excited when they actually arrived :lol: I actually had all the ones you posted, besides the Mirage Fox. My favorite was the Beserk, though.

While I didnt collect Gundam models, I did collect the action Figures. I probably had every single Mobile suit from all factions up to the Release of Endless Waltz. Speaking of which, I really need to pick up Endless Waltz, I cant even remember how many years its been since I've seen it.
 
I've got a few more that I haven't posted yet. Do you still have yours? I'm always looking to add more to the collection.

EDIT: Getting used to panel lining. The ultra fine tip Gundam markers are great.

@Heldenzeit Unfortunately I don't. It had to be close to a decade ago that I was collecting them. They are probably lost in some old toy chest at my moms house somewhere. :(

The Endless Waltz action figures weren't as abundant in the department stores here as the Wing series, but I remember being head over heels when I found the 5 main mobile suits and Tallgeese III. I wanted the Serpent custom as well, but it probably didn't exist in the action figure series.
 
Sword Fish II by Bandai. Unknown scale, 1.5 hours.

Aaaaah that's salt in the wounds right there. Some years ago I let go not this one but the diecast metal version for a mere 60 bucks. Today it's considerably more expensive. Agh screw you, I'm neck-deep in Tomica Limited debt to start looking for more stuff...

*opens E-Bay*
 
@Heldenzeit that zoids collection is golden. Pure. Gold. GOLDDDDD.

I'm making sure to get these things whenever I get my own place.
Thanks! I have a few more I need to gets pics of. I have moved a couple times since and seem to have misplaced them.

Found a Command Wolf Irvine for cheap.

That looks pretty cool. How much did you win the Liger for?
Final bid was 7000 yen, but theres shipping inside Japan and shipping to me plus buyers fees.

So we'll see...Thankfully the dollar is good against the yen.
 
Hoh, man. How you been using Jauce for a while now? They've been charging more for shipping with each shipment I've made, so I wanted to know if it's been happening to you as well.

First time for me. I'll let you know how it goes.

Shipping was 3200Y. Exchange rate is great right now so what I ordered for 7000Y converted to 112USD shipped. We'll see how well it was packaged when it gets here.

Picked up a Command Wolf LC that I modified a bit. Used the bomber unit from a Pteras and a rare white version of the CP-04 guns. The blue pieces were really old and brittle! I had to glue a piece I broke.
