Kotobukiya HMM Zoids, building Zoids and a Zoids backlog at the same time.

Finishing these parts for, manual indicates grey but pictures on the box show red, either way many manufacturing marks to remove before painting #kotobukiya #zoids #zoidshmm #lightningsaix #ez035 #hmmzoids #plamo

Sprue A2 was completed relatively quickly, onto sprue B which, from first glance, has many parts with mold lines #kotobukiya #zoids #zoidshmm #lightningsaix #ez035 #hmmzoids

A1 is done, it took me about 2 weeks on and off to prepare all the parts for painting, moving on to A2 #kotobukiya #zoids #zoidshmm #lightningsaix #ez035 #hmmzoids

Finishing the final piece of sprue A1, filled in a slight dent on the edge of this piece due to incomplete formation of the plastic while in the mold #kotobukiya #zoids #zoidshmm #lightningsaix #ez035 #hmmzoids

Today I removed seam lines from these guns on the Saber Tiger, it is not until towards the end that I found using a scriber on the tiny grooves is much easier on the soul compared to sandpaper but at least I found out #kotobukiya #zoids #zoidshmm #sabertiger #ez016 #hmmzoids

Today I attempted to fill in a notch in the recessed area of this tail part. I’m quite happy with the result #kotobukiya #zoids #zoidshmm #lightningsaix #ez035 #hmmzoids

Onto the rear blades, misaligned molding on the edge so I sanded it down and then reintroduced the slightly flattened edge #kotobukiya #zoids #zoidshmm #lightningsaix #ez035 #hmmzoids

Started building my Lightning Saix, the mold line is very pronounced. Finally sanded it out and filled in the imperfect molding on the lower left of this tiny tail part #kotobukiya #zoids #zoidshmm #lightningsaix #ez035 #hmmzoids
