Hi guys here's my most recent work. Another zoids project with zoid killer dome crab and zoid maccurtis. Was watching a doccumentary some time before and was inspired to do this piece . They are made based on the reef crab and blue spiny lobster.
THe setting i wanted to protray is an everyday life deep beneath the sea at the reef sides , hence the "algae" and the buried zoids iguna.
HAd quite a few incident with project where legs breaks off and the since its the first time i tried a large amount of flocking , i was aprrehensive at how it turned out. THe details are hand painted and the Maccurtis was given a marble effect to enhance the shiny shell view . THe rough surface was done by dipping the whole time in industrial thinner which i advised not to be tried on gundam models . Surpirsingly some parts were not dmaged even if i soak it in industrial thinner . (wonder what plastic they used)
THe base was donc's sand glue method with coral chips thrown in to give it a more realisitc feel
Hope you guys enjoy the pics

THats all folks .This will porbably be my last work for some time with studies coming up. Please feel free to comment

It reminds me of the aquarium displays I saw in Tokyo. The Japanese like weird sea life like squids and crabs more instead of fish.
Creative dio and concept, I like this a lot!

Re: The Blue Planet - A Zoids Story
Its not always we get to see a zoids model around here. plus you always had it done with a dio. I respect this. they could be more weathering and glazing done to the other small parts like the mechanized parts of the leg joints for the dome but overall i appreciate your sharing of this work. maybe i should touch muy zoids too.. aint so many zoids lover here.
