Description EDIT: Please don't stop here
I do all sorts of illustration using my 3D robots


as well as animation work

and the occasional coloring collaboration




This is kitbash (cutting apart toys and reassembling them as something new) of the Zoids Zaberfang with Bionicle joint parts to make an articulate Zoids figure. Not art, just having fun.


EDIT:

FAQ- How did you do this?

Alright already. I've been a big slacker for the past three weeks in terms of art output so I filmed a tutorial video of me making one of my latest kitbashes. I posted it in a playlist on YouTube:

Hope you enjoy, feel free to tell me about what you make!

Hm, interesting idea.

I was thinking about doing something like this as sewing/costume practice at some point in the future, and this will help with the reference artwork.

Oh, don't give me credit for any of it. Its just toys I took apart and glued back together. Anybody can do the same.

was there alot of super glue involved...
are there any sites with information on kitbashing for a newbie such as myself?

whodagoose In reply to evillusion79 [2009-08-24 23:13:15 +0000 UTC]

Lotsa glue gun. No super glue.

I have 'how to' videos on YouTube:

There are 7 parts detailing the whole process.

Ya know, I tried to sell them all once online. They didn't sell, but I was glad the Tiger didn't, he is my favorite of the bunch.

One day I will revisit the group of them and do give them cooler weapons, post new pictures here, then post them for sale online.

Oh, I wish it could transform into something. I'll have to crumple him up and cut out a car or something to glue on top of him so I can say he transforms...

whodagoose In reply to strong-1 [2008-09-27 06:13:24 +0000 UTC]

I sold all the Bionicle parts a while back. The Bionicle kitbash I sold on eBay about...gosh...I can't remember how long ago, but each one went for around $30-$50 each...not terribly much.

Emuishere [2008-08-29 12:54:56 +0000 UTC]

This looks great! The two styles blend really well together
Did you paint it? I know that Zaber Fang comes in a maroon colour, but I can't see any difference between it and the Bionicle.
I love looking at your kitbashes

bluesquirreldude [2008-08-14 14:06:17 +0000 UTC]

Interesting! I'm guessing that the pieces on ZOIDs and Bionicles are compatible in some places for this sort of thing to be possible? :3

whodagoose In reply to bluesquirreldude [2008-08-15 17:41:55 +0000 UTC]

Nope. Gotta cut'm up and glue'm. It would be awesome if they were compatible.

Ah, oh well XD Cant find zoid's around here anymore as it is *sigh* still awesome though :3 I'd totally ruin some bionicle pieces and zoid's pieces for that sorta detail

I've been asked so many times how I kitbash, so I did a tutorial video and posted it in a playlist on YouTube:

whodagoose In reply to bonebreaker99 [2008-07-30 17:57:03 +0000 UTC]

Glue gun, some holes are drilled in parts to allow the glue to thread between parts. The threading gives it a strong hold.

whodagoose In reply to ravage023 [2008-06-01 15:49:03 +0000 UTC]

Actually I would sell the Bionicle/Zoids kitbash (Though I might not sell the Tiger, he is my favorite) Send me a private note if you would like to discuss it.

Thank you very much. I really like the way this one turned out. I may turn around some day and put guns on these guys to make'm look more like Zoids.

dogalmighty In reply to whodagoose [2008-06-01 08:57:23 +0000 UTC]

That'd look good, i'd think about putting in the chest cannon as it seems to be a predominant fixture in weaponary amongst saber type zoids.
Have you thought about sorting a tail out?

whodagoose In reply to dogalmighty [2008-06-01 15:47:47 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I don't know about a chest cannon, but you're right he does need some kind of tail...and there is that empty joint socket where the tail would be...
