Liger Zero Jager Review

First of all I would like to say sorry for the lack of updates lately. As some of you may know I have move to a new city and I have been really busy work and stuff and haven't had as much time to work on my models as much.
Anywho, for you Zoids fans out there, I did mange to put together the Liger Zero Jager. This kit was a real treat to work on. The overall constructing of the kit is very nice. Unlike most HMM kits which are known to have parts falling off quite easy, I find this kit to be quite stable overall. I still do have the odd part come off, but nothing to drive you crazy.
As for poseable and movement, this kit is highly stable and has a good range of movements making it very easy to pull off any pose you may like.
The nice thing about these Liger Zero kits is that you could just buy the basic Zero kit and just buy the CAS kits which are much cheaper overall, but if you are like me and would rather have all three CAS out at once then your force to buy the complete kits.
Anywho, here are the pictures:

Calgary's Military Museum

First of all, sorry for the lack of updates. As some of you may know, I have just lately move to Calgary so I been pretty busy looking for work and a place to live so its been hard to work on models. I hope to start getting some more updates in about a month once I get all settled down here.
Anywho, this post is about my little trip down to the Military Museum here in Calgary. It's only $10 to get in for a adult and it is a pretty nice place for its size. It took us about 3 hours to look at everything, we didn't really go outside as it was a little cold at the time.
It was made up of sections such as WWI, WWII and other time frames. Each section took anywhere form 20-40 mins to complete and overall a nice place to check out if you are into military history.

Anywho, time for the pictures.
P.S. Tons of pictures!!!

MG Heavyarms

My first painted kit of the year. I was hoping to have this finish before the new years, but stuff came up and a bit of laziness got in my way........
Sadly this will be my last painted kit for awhile as I will not have my gear to paint anything for the next while. I still plan to snap build a few kits, so I will most likely do a few reviews on them when I get them build.
Anywho, on to Heavyarms. This is quite the nice MG kit, my only complaint would be the ammo thread going from the gating gun to the ammo pack. The ends would keep falling of the rubber wire making it super hard to pose, which I just used some crazy glue and glue them on fixing that issue.
This kit also does have some issues with the ankle like my MG Deathscythe did as they both have the same frame. The only different is that it falls backwards and not forward like Deathscythe.
As for the kit itself, I stay mostly true to the colors with some minor changes mostly to the gun and the ammo pack. I also added a bit of gold to the frame outside of the missiles where the missile are painted silver.
Other then that, I basically cover everything else in my early post on this kit. I plan on doing some snap builds on my Zoids kits next. So I should have some reviews on them in the next awhile.

Anywho time for the pictures:

MG Heavyarms WIP 3

Sorry for the long update. With the holidays and with me getting ready to head off to Calgary soon, I been pretty busy as of late.
Anywho, this is the final WIP for Heavyarms as all I got left to do is the flat coat and it is all finish.
There isn't much too add this time around as this WIP basically covers the panel lines and decals sections on the kit.
The panel lining was pretty straight forward, and for the decals I tried using the waterslide precut decal this time around. I must say that they where very nice to work with. They are a little thicker then the ones from Samuel, but they were much stronger and the fact that they were precut save me alot of time.
Other then that I don't have much more to say about this WIP other then picture time!

Far Cry 3: Path of the Hunter Rare Animals Guide



Here is a list of videos that I have made showing all of the locations for the rare animals in Far Cry 3 Path of the Hunter. There is a few that I didn't record as I wasn't going to make any videos at first, but had a change of heart. I do plan on getting the other three done, but for now I will just upload a image of the starting location for the first two. I hadn't been to the third location yet, and will upload the video when I get to that spot.

Update:
I made a new character, so I could do the other two hunts. I just rush to them as fast as I could, so I have very minimal skills and equipment on.

Warning:
These videos does have gore, blood and swearing in it as this game is Rated M.

MG Heavyarms WIP 2

Time for another WIP for MG Heavyarms. At this stage I am basically all done painting now and just have a few touch up here and there to do like the eyes and the handles for the gating gun. I am hoping to have it decal and panel line within a week if everything goes well.
I did run into a small problem with the leg missile launchers. I had this great idea that it would look cool with red highlights on them. So I want and mask them all just to have the paint blend thou my masking job and ruin the paint job.......... So I ended up having to strip the paint off and repaint it again, this time with out the red highlights.
I also made a small mistake with the blade as well. I forgot to make sure to get all the dust off before putting the black gloss coat on, and didn't notice until after taking off the masking. I plan to try and get some of that dust off and just fix it up with some paint.
Other then that, everything else has gone very smoothly. I did make some minor changes to the color scheme, mostly the gating gun. I plan on having the body gray, with the handles the same orange on the body, with the barrel polished aluminum, and pale gold for the ammo thread and the end of the barrel.
I hope to have the final WIP for this kit up in about a week, which will be mostly the decal and panel lines done.

On the left was Mr.Color orange yellow, which was too yellow for my taste, so I ended up mixing in a bit of orange.
The red parts drying after a soapy bath. I already said it once, but the bare plastic colors are just perfect.
