I like it much better this way

Bright yellow plastic for an Acroyear? I can't abide by that.

I'm calling this modified zoid vehicle the Scorpitroid
Posted by Picasa

I ripped out the legs and gears, greebled the sides with junk and sheet styrene, mounted the turbines and there you go
Posted by Picasa

Scorpitroid Commander's head is from a Mcfarlane Frankenstein playset with an SG helmet and a Beta Midget chest plate on a black Military Force
Posted by Picasa

I got this arm from a Robotech kit and decided that it should be the Scorpitroid commander's weapon

Here you can see how the turbines connect to the main body of the vehicle. Basically I just ran some 5mm stryene tubing through the back, added another bit of rubber tubing to 'fatten' it and covered.
Posted by Picasa

These square pieces were taken from a Gundam kit and greebled with Wav Option vents to make covers for the turbine mounts
Posted by Picasa

The turbines are from a microman rescue series vehicle, as I mentioned earlier

The Scorpitroid's original form is the Zoid Deathpion, which I picked up two years ago thinking that one day I'd do something with it...

Back view. It's actually quite sturdy sitting on that ball joint.

Rear top view. The part in the middle of the thruster is actually a chest piece from some cheap robot I had lying around

Once I had all the parts together, this took about 2 months

here's a bit of up-close detail

I tried taking pictures of this thing, but it was tough to capture on film...I wish I knew something about photography

Acroyear Bounty Hunter with updated head

This Palisades Pharoid still has to be one of my favorite Microman

I was pretty psyched when I scored this Robotman II helmet (with a few other parts)

The wings are from the Soul of Chogokin Dancougar.

Another view. Again, It's not perfect, but he looks cool with wings!

I took this hollow piece from a Gundam kit and boxed it in with sheet styrene, which was first glued and then trimmed/sanded. Easy!
Posted by Picasa

Here's a tip for you: If you don't want something to stick to the putty you are molding, make it wet. It won't stick. I needed to do that here in order to make the holes that would hold the wings

You can see the space between the torso and the waist. The Waifer Leaf part didn't fit that well so I had to modify it a bit and was left with the space. I could've gone in a redone it, but I thought it was ok. He needs the space for posing purposes anyway.

The hands came from Machine Force. I think I made the wrist a little too long, but I can live with it. The wrist part was made from sheet styrene and putty, basically.

This guy now dominates my top shelf

A new custom lurking in my garden...

The head is from maybe a Sailor Moon gasshapon toy, the stickers from an old Robotech plastic model kit, the gun is Lucas

Here you can see the tatoos on her leg and arm

Not super rare stuff, but some of my rarest Micro toys

I just liked this picture so I thought I'd post it. One of my favorite vintage vehicles here
Posted by Picasa

The Micro Range Finder. This was a busted up Climbleader which I found. It didn't have treads, so I replace the section with a set of tracks I found on a Transformer tractor. Later, I added the Zoid radar dish. I'd still like to do some work on this one, but here's a look anyway

Originally I thought I'd 'do this up', but I like the original colors, esp. with the kicker. I think I'll leave it like this.

Can't say I like the new vehicles much, but I think I might try to make something along these lines. Some kind of Photon Sled II or something.
