ZOIDS Group Build 2013 @ HAW

A couple of months ago, I was invited to Zoids Group Build event by Toymaker. I was excited as Zoid model making is rare in Singapore. It is refreshing to see what model kit builder in Singapore would do. I head down to Hobby Art Workshop and I was not disappointed with all the entries.

The turn out was good mainly the room was packed with model kit fans. Everyone present get to vote their favorites entries and I had mine. Well I will talk about who I have voted but now let me show you various entries for Zoids Group Build 2013.

There are some GIANT Zoids too but they did not join in the contest as they are seasoned Modeller. Here is Waylander with his King Gojulas


I love the vibrant colors but it was very big!


Organizer Toymaker and his Iron Kong!


Leon Ku also have his contribution and it is a funny one with Kong go Banana!


Kong was chasing Yotsuba who carrying bananas!


Now let's look into the actual entries.

Here is Edwin Lin with the color theme of Iron Man Red and Gold on Zoids HMM Gun Sniper Leena.


Also with weapons like Iron Man Warmachine and the paint job is good and very tidy!

Now this is Werewolf from Ng Chern Liang and I love this one for the good color theme, base and pose.


It was so alive and the base is just enough to make the impression. Simplicity at it's best.

This entry is from Stanley Lim.


Many do not know this entry has some special effect during display and they thought it is just a chrome looking purple and orange.


However if it was under UV lighting, it has a life of it own.


Too bad many only notice that after the vote as there were no UV lightnings until later. It glows with fire effect!!
