Hellcats: Guylos & Tirol Colors

I discovered Pixaki Intro today and whipped these together as little test animations.

Once I learn the program in depth, I'd love to put in more detail, create additional alternate custom color variations, and try out drawing different Zoids. Until then, please feel free to use these if you'd like. Just credit me by tagging my page.

Thank you!

This thing is hugeeee!

When I was pretty young, I had a modest Zoids collection. Basically any Zoid I could get my hands on I would build. Then I discovered a site (Metal Machine Music???) that listed a couple of Zoids and I grew obsessed with the "Death Stinger". Basically anywhere we went, I was always on the hunt for this guy. Then it became an obsession and anywhere we went, I would scour the aisles for it. Unfortunately, little me didn't realize it wasn't released in the US until much later.

Mom was pissed but the moment we spotted it (months later...) she threatened to kill me if I didn't get it.

My old Zoids collection is pretty much gone now though I've started to somewhat rebuild it. The first thing I got when I moved away for college was the same Death Stinger model after scouring ebay. Then the HMM line came out.

The pink and maroon model is the HMM line, the blue and white is a bootleg Super Nova, while the largest one is the one I modeled and 3D printed myself. I made some changes to the model based on both designs and added a few details like little spikes on the leg guards and on the visor/helmet. I also changed the cannon on its back and tail to something I more enjoy. The tips of the "feet" are now pointed and I added more "rings" to the claws. It irked me for some reason that they looked "bare" >__> Unfortunately I hate sanding so I printed it and built it with all the layer lines visible but I think it adds some charm.

Originally this was gonna be a simple print in all its basic colors but a trip to a local hobby shop had me reconsidering a weathering effect. Gundam markers work exceptionally well on PLA (yes, I used Gundam marker for everything except the black and blue parts .___.) and while I tried using Mr. Hobby Top Coat, I gave up and used Rust-oleum's matte finish (do you know how much it costs to get a small can of Mr. Hobby Top Coat?????? One can only covered enough for one singular layer D;).

The whole figure is articulated similarly to the HMM line. It can stand on its own and be posed in any position but I'm leaving it as is cause I don't know where to put it yet .___. This thing is huge D: Husband keeps telling me we don't have the room but I can hang this from the ceiling...I think?
