So a little over a week ago I acquired everything I needed to begin assembly of an RHI-3 command wolf.

This is my first time airbrushing a zoid and I think it's gone well.

The panel lining really gives it depth and I got to basically port over my experience with washes and 40k minis.

One thing I learned as I painted and assembled it is that i needed to thin my paints even more than usual for airbrushing.

The gun mounted to it is the CP-22 dual sniper because i absolutely love mounting such an oversized gun to it. I've got several other zoids to assemble, and each one's going to get a descepticon logo as a team patch.

HMM Command Wolf- RHI-3

This is the first Zoid I’ve really detailed and decaled to this degree, and I love how it turned out!  Tried to follow the image in the instruction booklet pretty closely, as well as the photos from the professionally detailed model. Painted several small areas on the model including the ears, the ridges and the orange ring on the armor, and the green on the canopy (using toothpicks!). Did some panel lining and added the water slide decals, taking some artistic liberty as to where they were placed. 

First time using gundam markers, they’re pretty nice and easy to use, even for someone like me with pretty unsteady hands. Its a little messy in some places but overall I think i did a pretty decent job on this. Decals were a pain though. I like waterslide decals but when they don’t work they can be very frustrating. I’m lucky they included extra of the ones used on the leg armor, as one ended up falling off. I wasn’t even sure when or where it had, I just noticed it was gone! XD

Finished painting and assembling my latest Zoid. The RZ-030 Gun Sniper W2 with the CP-13 extra weapon, the Wild Weasle unit.

As usual, I've placed a decepticon insignia on the model. This zoid was painted in an iridescent blue that under the light shifts towards purple, though this can be hard to see in the pictures.

This velocitaptor is bisexual.

Here she is next to the command wolf I painted last time.

Next up, the RZ-046 Shadow Fox.

I've got some neat MSG add-on pieces for that one.

Zoids HMM Command Wolf RHI-3

I love this model, and love the fact that it comes with so many accessories. It comes with 3 different guns including its standard weapon, Irvine’s style, and Brad’s style. It also comes with boosters and two leg mounted weapons All of them are easy to switch out too, which is nice. This little wolf has a lot of customization options! Personally, I’m sticking to its standard weapons with the addition of the boosters.
