| HMM Shadow Fox, completed May 21 2014 |
Apart from a very minor alteration to the head sculpt and a slightly darker colour scheme; this is pretty much the HMM Shadow Fox as it is directly out of the box. When painting this kit I used a rather different combination of paints; Krylon matte black with Vallejo's steel for details on all o the outer shell parts, for the inner frame I used Krylon's satin nickel plus Vallejo's black panel lines, and Krylon's silver, gold, and oil-brushed bronze were used throughout for colour separation. All followed up by a couple of rounds of flat coat.
I started this project in December of 2012, for the first Zoids Group Build unfortunately due to some poor planning on my part I ran late in completing it for the group build.

Notes:
HMM - High Master Mold, a line of 1/72 scale kits by Kotobukiya usually based on Zoids, though they will be extending the line into other things in 2014.
Zoids - (ゾイド Zoido) is a multi-media model-kit-based franchise originating from Japanese toy company Tomy (now Takara-Tomy). The majority of the franchise is built around and focused on the various motorized model kit series. More recently, companies outside of Takara-Tomy have been licensed to produce Zoids kits (Kotobukiya). This has led to Zoids being made as large die-cast figures, highly detailed posing kits, smaller action figures and even PVC figurines. The various anime series, comics, manga books and video games all serve as tie-in media products for the franchise, to expand both consumer base and franchise recognition.
