Mwa ha ha!!!
Risky finally got a Lightning Saix model thanks to a friend ^^ And naturally, I had to repaint it to my likings. Overall it took me over 12 hours to make it liek this @.@I used regular acrylic paints and a metallic gold to make it shine. This time I did something different this time while painting. I shaded the colors on him. For the armor pieces, I took a yellowish color and slabbed it on, then I made a more copper color and put that on where I wanted the shadows to be. The worst part was sanding off all the stupid flashes. Can they put them in a more obvious place!? -_-
Well, enjoy!

It takes a lot of work and patience (and a steady hand @.@) to do that.

Lovely effect! a cheetah's not a cheetah without spots!
Incidentally, I'm not sure about the difference between the red and yellow Hasbro Saix, but I'm pretty sure the only difference between the red Tomy UK and the yellow US Hasbro is just the colour. That, and the Hasbro yellow comes with the Remote control CP kit.

The spots are made by Sharpie

If you have one, and you haven't already tried it, you should put Berserk Fuhrer's backpack on Saix... It looks really funny and when you switch it on it does this really peculiar on the spot run

this one was the yellow lightening saix origionally possibly?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, regular Lightning Saix. I just made it look like a cheetah.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no i mean the one with the yellow panels and stuff on it instead of red,wait yeah it was, because the origional red one has claws that are darker and the plastic against the toes are pre-cut so that they actually look like claws,either that or someone messed up somehow and did not use the hard rough dark grey plastic used on the red model *looks at both her red and 'yellow' [hasbro] versions*

Oh, ok. Ya, I've seen the yellow version, but not up close. Si I never knew there was a difference between them (except the color differences

Wow! I really like that! One of these days I'm going to do a custom paint job, but I'm too chicken to paint any of my Zoids unless I can get a duplicate really cheap.
