Hello!
On this channel you will find model kit builds from varying interests and brands of many fandoms such as Zoids, Warhammer, Megami Device and WW2. I generally build whatever I feel like doing the most - so what comes out will be random.
About me:
I'm an Australian model enthusiast living in QLD that spends a lot of his spare time building kits of all sorts, and wanted to share my experiences on each kit in the hopes it helps someone decide if they will pick it up or not. I'm no professional and all opinions are my own from my own experience building each kit. There may be sizeable gaps in-between assembly of a kit and the painting/finishing. I'm also a massive music lover, usually in the top 1%-2% of listeners on spotify globally each year, which is why I tend to use music in my videos and share the artists.

Much like the Flammpanzer III, this simpler paintjob is meant to be either a restored or fresh service vehicle, with no commentary and a longer run time for the folks who enjoy that sort of thing. The kit was one from the backlog that has existed since before the creation of this channel, so it felt good to finish it, for the curious it's 5069 by Rye Field, which was extremely enjoyable to buil...

nice break from the ongoing Zoid lineup of videos! The armor looks so cool with the interesting shapes it use + that unique looking gun the 'pulling trigger' of building kits in the log is exactly how I feel whenever I just have to build something XD
Yeah! An enjoyed alternative :D It's a good thing to be able to just pick and go I feel
600 aussie dollars idk mate :)
They're definitely worth picking up on sale, such as amazon has them for 354 currently and free delivery. Either way you slice it, it's one massive model that'll take most folks a long time to get through :D
@@Beastsbuilds I cant see them for that price .. but ok .. might bite the bullet anyways .. great model
@petethescalemodeller6130 oh, if you search up hmm zoids just on Amazon Aus it should be on the first page, I can try to link it if you'd like? It's absolutely fantastic to build
I'm gonna have to do this to my zoids now! I felt they looked dead, this fixes that so much
I've been wanting to camo paint my supernova fury for a while now but have been stuck on exactly how to go about masking it, didn't know about masking paper so my life just go a whole lot easier XD
Ooooo, that'll look great on a fury, share it when you're done! Masking paper is a godsend, it's one of the best tools you can utilise:)
that gatling instead of the standard weapon is really nice, great work
So pretty! The LED really brings it to life. You make it look so easy
I bet you can do it too! 😁
loving those lil edits you have here and there which gives a nice change of pace with some fun and relaxing moments the constraint and consideration you state here is spot on to what im learning about and another thing I heard about is that instead of topcoating the clear pla to disperse the light, you can probably sand to give same effect and dispersal (although not sure about this) + love how you can tap near its core to turn those LEDs on 😆
Light goes on, light goes off 🤣

Love your work! Question.. which sms gold paint would you use to achieve the closest possible match to the limited gold version? I’m getting the great saber marking plus soon & want to paint it to be as close to the limited gold version as possible (& this will be my first time painting a Zoid)
Thank you! My guess would be red gold, but I'd say message Scott via email (the SMS owner) and attach a pic of the gold Saber, he's a really nice guy and will be able to confirm what the best path is. Good luck on your first paint! Make sure to test spray on something such as the parts runners before you begin on the parts, so you can get a feel for the adjustments and distance to spray at 8)
Just subscribed I was on the fence about takom kits
Cheers mate, if you're a fan of the Patton tanks, I recommend checking out the takom variants, they're really enjoyable to build!
is the BT version perfectly identical to the Kotobukiya one? Would love to know so I can save some money.
It's 1-1 but with a slightly less visual quality. The build requires a bit more elbow grease and has some tight fits, so take your time and gently sand down anything that's too tight and use super glue where required.
I moved to HK a few years ago from Sydney but just stumbled onto zoids now. Got into it from new century when it was on Saturday morning cartoons. Building a collection of kits so that when I move back and have space I can build and display them.
Hell yeah mate, that's how I got into it too! Being in HK you're in a great spot to find them, that's awesome :D
Takom really rather than attacking him need to employ David Bryden to fix the numerous accuracy issues. Imagine Dragon accuracy with Takom build and engineering. Mind you the Takom Apache has the worst instructions in history so not everyone is immune. Nice build good to see some Tiger options but little accuracy errors are just lazy these days from Takom as the information is out there. Still nice to see Dragon getting well priced competition!
I agree mate, it's wild they don't seek his input with the finer accuracy and details. Oh no... I bought the Apache kit with excitement, sounds like I'm in for a rough one!
I’m glad to see zoids is coming back I was very disappointed when it stopped for 12 years
I'm super happy it's coming out of obscurity and gaining a bigger fanbase, fingers crossed it continues!
@@Beastsbuilds I have also seen that Tomy is making the realize line they are smaller and cheaper model kits that I think might be a good alternative to hmm kits I hope they continue it
@@Spencer31494 yeah they look excellent for new and returning folks, I hope tomy continues showing love to the IP like this 🙏
A fellow novocastrian!?
Queenslander :P
Whaaaaat!? Not a qldrrrr 😂
Thank you! here in Melbourne its hard to come across zoids in city other then going to conventions to snag one (there was a store that held sturm for 300 but is mostly filled with Gundams now compared to last year) most of it goes with critical hit having Konig wolfs ready at the double with some stingers otherwise there can be some hole in wall places that have a good stock (the store I got reddra for 90 from should be having an online store sometime sooner or later they check for the lower price the kit may have which makes it cheaper then the tag) otherwise I just used hobbyco to get my 2 furies and saber 😆
Just ordered one of these guys from ebay for cheap, I’m okay with most of its faults but I just hope it won’t be too difficult for me
They're a fun build, I just reinstalled drawing software to see if I can make the proper fix pieces from the fury repack to 3d print, if they work well on the Sturm I'll put the files up for free 😃
I thought huffing paint and glue was the reason to build these kits? Like, people only play golf to day drink...
Maybe I should take up golfing 🫠😵💫
ah yes masking up when painting 👀 No worries im getting a respirator soon enough! seeing a whole 360 spin of Bladey is just gorgeous! and nice to see how the LED shines through in the end there which makes up for the beauty shots. also began cell shading the Shieldy so gonna have to do it as I build (some parts just are hard to get out in general)
The shots don't do it justice, looks like a sapphire in the flesh! Hell yes, the zero is gonna enjoy the company!
Very cool build!
I built the 47 and found it to be a good kit too. I have become a big fan of Takom kits. I know they are not all perfect but most are great fun to build. Thanks.
Good video... quick and to the point. We all know building a kit is the true test. A suggestion for a future review... show the kit painting/decal choices. Thanks.
What was the 1st website you mentioned? Zoo something? And what was the preorder website for aussies?
The first one was suruga-ya.com/en and the website for Sugo, specifically for the sworder is sugotoys.com.au/product/koto24716121/
@@Beastsbuilds cheers
It makes me think of the gulf racing livery. Smooth work, boss!
Cheers mate! If you like the idea of a gulf livery, you may like the Alitalia saix idea I've been brewing 😁
@@Beastsbuilds can't wait 👍👍
Does this kit have any particular issues?
As mentioned the outer wing sections when the wing is folded will pop open slightly, it's not a major issue so you can ignore or glue & clamp it 8)
Pterodactyl chicken no better way to describe this one! (I had a running joke on one of the pieces that is in torso is a burnt roasted chicken because of pegs and shape XD) but yeah nice lil breakdown and talk about the prices here (I think I got sworder for around 100-120 or so from hobbyco I believe) gonna be eyeing on the next build you hinted
Third time's a charm, TH-cam wouldn't let me reply lmfao. Literally a roast silver chicken, also the hobbyco sales need to add Sabers to them
yeah the sales so far I havent seen one on the sabers yet but alot on the other zoids and even Godos have it on em which makes it a bit weird to think about (I suppose fury would have to also join in on the 'not on sales' group since I had to be on lookout for a friend who wanted to buy it if it ever gets on sale as their first zoid)
@@4Zoics you can guarantee if the Sabers come on sale, the backlog for the pride will grow 😂
@@Beastsbuilds time to be on lookout for some sabers on sale 👀
Truthfully I think the standard genosor is pretty badass.
Nice to see another build and thoughts/commentary vid from you! Im also 4Zoics from the server and am looking forward to that Storm sworder! (one of my favourite builds and zoids)
Oh hey dude! Thank you! It should be up sometime next Saturday/Sunday hopefully 8)
Got big red the other day. Bc im a destiny retiree. Im gonna paint that sucker in the colors of my warlock armor with thr nee solstice. Any advice on painting and making some colors really pop?
Nice mate! I'd say that getting yourself a nice silver shade for the cables and 'bolts' around the model will help it bloom, along with Nuln Oil by Citadel for the panel lining to make flat coloured areas pop nicely. You can also consider adding in some gold on the rings on the horn and guns to separate the blocks of colour.
@@Beastsbuilds but how do I do it? I'm a newbie with this. Do I hand paint with a brush? Are there special markers I can use? Or do I spray paint it with that little blow thing?
Being completely new, I'd say stick with either markers or a brush and try using both on something other than your model first, such as an old figure etc so you can get a feel for it. Practice makes it easier before you go near your kit, I wouldn't try and airbrush just yet, they're expensive to set up if you find it's not for you.
@@Beastsbuilds I got a heavy arms I just got and put together as a test run to make sure I can actually make a model without breaking it.
@@furionmax7824 That should have a couple spare pieces with it, probably use those and practice painting them, it'll make your attempts on the complete thing a lot easier to navigate.
Wow! Love the color! 10/10💯👌👌
Siiick, you gna post this on the reddit? I’m excited since I have one of these I’m about to build. Appreciate the tips and a good look at the kit!
Not this time mate! Hell yeah, it's a great kit, very satisfying to build. Have fun 😁!
Takom kits are excellent, reasonably priced when compared to Dragon which are more expensive, confusing manuals and overcomplicated to build.
What the Diameter of this turn table you are using?
182mm mate 8)
not a fan of the end colors
What about them is it, if you don't mind my asking? In the right angles it almost mirrors the original Schneider within the shifting colors.
It's so cool! The reflection of the polarized paint gives it a very nice atmosphere.
Simple beauty works well with the blade liger 8)
Looks cool.
Nice work! That color scheme is doing it for me! By the way, your videos will benefit with a video chapter pin the description or comment box. ^_^
That's a solid recommendation, I'll keep that in mind moving forward! 😁
@@Beastsbuilds You're welcome buddy, you keep on building for the mecha culture! ^_^
@@love_ark you got it! 😁
Loving these videos! Zoids are awesome!
Cheers dude! I gotta say, these crystal pearls are 👌👌👌
欲しいなーバーサークフューラー❤😊
It's a really satisfying kit to build, hopefully you get one! :)
Yay more Zoids! Nice to see how the pearl white looks. I've planned to use it with pearl snow white on the Konig Wolf later on. Currently working on a Sabre Tiger. I've posted some pics of my Saix on the SMS bookface group. Check it out if you get a chance. You tube keeps deleting my comments. Dunno whats going on.
It took six times to post the above comment.
That's really weird, damn TH-cam! The pearl looks magnificent hey, really good color. Hell yes mate, the Sabers are my favourite beside the panzer 😁, though sadly I don't have a Facebook or anything, are you in the zoids discord?
@@Beastsbuilds I'll have a look next time I'm on Discord, Though while I loath all social media, the marketplace is all I ever used facebook for. Its the best for all your local classifieds. Scott posts all your tubes for people to watch, and seriously the group needs more mecha.
@@I3eechy oh man, I didn't even know haha! If you ever jump into the zoids discord, feel free to tag me to take a look dude, I'm Beast there 8)
That purple tho 🥵
Hits so good, new favourite SMS color!
Very nicely done!
Cheers Scotty!
One thing I never liked about the design is that it's gorgeous. Yet I think a giant cannon would work better than a twin shield generator.
Now that's an idea I can get behind, twin laser Vulcans from the shadow fox perhaps 😍
Funny that you should mention that, its not just a shield unit. It is also a piercing drill and cutting pincers and duel laser cannons! A version of the CAS in the zoids legacy game has exactly what your looking for however it was a fury with a gigantic laser cannon on its back, I think it was called the shatter or shard version.
Great work 👍
Revel glue? What glue / cement are you using? Good looking paint job 🙋!
You got it mate, I use Revell's contacta professional. Thank you! 😁
