Zoids Groupbuild 2013 @ HAW

Another groupbuild has come and gone. But this time, its not your regular gundam/zaku groupbuild. It is a Zoids groupbuild, which is somewhat rather refreshing. To my surprise, the turnout for this event was overwhelming good! Just check out the sheer number of zoids that graced us with their presence!

It was not that long ago when the last groupbuild was held at HAW. And back here again were some of the familiar faces and some new ones as well. This community is slowly but surely growing! Anyway without further a do, here are some pics of the entries! More pictures here!

The biggest and baddest of them all is the King Gojulas by Waylander. I was about 45 mins late and as I rushed into HAW, I was greeted by its majestic roar! As this kit is an ancient Tomy zoid, the process of making this one come to live was rather tedious and lots of effort with the masking and workmanship. More pics can be found here at Waylander's blog

Next up is Toymaker's Iron Kong in War Machine colours! In Toymaker's words, this is the PG of Zoids.

Next up, Leon Ku's King Kong. I really like this one. This whole presentation already has a story of its own! Check out the internal details of this kong. This one totally gave me the feel of King Kong the movie.

Many stayed on to chat and share modeling tips. As the day was coming to an end, everyone finally packed their zoids away and said their goodbyes.
