houndsoldier, dimetroptera, styluarmor

First of all, the houndsoldier:

I find the genesis houndsoldier very expensive at P700 for what it does. I mean for P800, I can get myself a Gordos, Salamander or a Seismosaurus.

All the sprues of the genesis houndsoldier would probably fit in a Command Striker box. Upon completion, you're left with the...hanging feeling that this is it for P700?!

My main tiff with it is that the guns at the back are in line-of-sight to the head of the zoid. Weird...I wouldn't mind it if the neck can move like a command wolf. Since I don't have any of those old custom parts, I was looking for something to make the most out of the zoid.

And behold!







I figured that if this zoid was the same size as a command wolf, then what do I custom a command wolf with? The command striker config didn't quite cut it -- the weapon system needed to be sleek. Hence, I found a CP04 from a command wolf AC.

With CP04 mounted behind it, this zoid has grown on me and I love it.

Man's best friend, right?

Upon seeing the 2 default configurations of this zoid, one can't help but notice the lack of offensive weapons. Looking at the box, one can see a couple of configurations of the dimetroptera if combined with a couple more zoids.

This is dimetroptera plus dispelow:





Don't you love those long-range cannons? Aside from the dimetroptera kit and dispelow, you'll also need a couple of extra box for this.

As a side note -- this looks cool on top of a 21" TV. It's not too big, not too small either.

The story behind this styluarmor custom is that the curtains knocked over my styluarmor from the top of the TV. Being quite old already, the parts were getting brittle. What broke was the gun mount -- it's the piece similar to what's holding scissorstorm's wings.

Not wanting to waste P300 on an extra scissorstorm (whose mount is gray vs the red of the styluarmor), I decided to rumage around to see what I can use.

I had an extra gatling gun CP + deantler's legs + the styluarmor.

I've always wanted to mount a gatling gun on a styluarmor

The pics here were just taken indoor using an old cam phone (SE T630)....that would explain the grainy pics.

Hope to be able to post other pics soon! I've got a fuzors orange dimetroptera + that P500 fire phoenix in a box somewhere
