13. Hot Stuff Instant Glue Pro Kit (Includes CA Glues, Accelerator, Debonder, Extra Spouts) HK-1

    Features:
  • [Hot Stuff Original] Thin CA Glue with a viscosity (3cps) similar to water and no surface tension. Have the parts that fit exactly together, get them in position, run this instant glue along the crack, it'll wick right in. If you have tight-fitting joints of non-porous material, this glue will give you the best results as it won't create any extra space between the pieces. Since you get the parts aligned before applying the glue, you can be sure they'll be perfectly in place when the glue cures.
  • [Super T MEDIUM] Gap-Filling CA Glue has a viscosity (200-300 cps) similar to syrup. This super glue is perfect for gluing somewhat porous materials and pieces which have small gaps between them. It cures at a slower speed (10-25 sec) than Hot Stuff. You can bond wood, metal,rubber, nitrile, composites like carbon fiber and Kevlar and plastics. To bond two parts together, apply the [Super T] to one part and accelerator to the other part, then push together and hold tightly for around 30 seconds.
  • [Special T THICK] Ultra Gap-Filling CA Glue has a viscosity (1150-1500) similar to honey. Works great when you use it to bond both porous and non-porous parts, and it can fill larger gaps. It is best used to glue parts that are missing pieces or don’t fit very well together. The gap-filling capability is very useful when there is a large chunk missing from a surface- filling that space with Special T can preserve the structural integrity, seal the area from moisture and contaminants.
  • [NCF Quick Accelerator] is the best accelerator you will find anywhere. All of our accelerators dramatically decrease the curing time of the glue and force the glue to cure when it wouldn't otherwise, but NCF Quick is less expensive per ounce, has a more pleasant odor than the others, and comes in a convenient 6oz aerosol can for easy application. This accelerator is active for several minutes, so you can spray several pieces at once if you are making multiple bonds.
  • [US-1 Super Solvent] is the very best product to debond and dissolve CA Glues from our kit, and it will also remove super glue made by other companies. Just a little bit is usually enough to unstick your hands and remove the CA glue, and as Super Solvent does not go bad with age, it makes sense to always have a bottle within the reach of your non-glued hand! You can also avoid getting your fingers glued in the first place by using our poly gloves for CA glue.

Hi there, to answer your question, they can be posed. The glue isn't really required, it just helps some pieces stay on or together in the case of the Shadow Fox's face (the teeth on my girlfriend's came out at the slightest bump until I cemented it). No real issues on any others, but I would suggest it just in case you get a defect.

Now I do I have a few suggestions on which one would be a good starter zoid so that you're not too overwhelmed like I was. Personally I felt that the Liger Zero, Shadow Fox, and Gunsniper were really enjoyable to put together. The only issues with the lot are Shadow Fox's teeth and the Gunsniper has these hoses that are a pain to fiddle with.

Although, if you want a real challenge, I suggest the Gojulas (this one is gonna end up costing you upwards of $300 nowadays, but I assure you it is marvelous when fully assembled), Berserk Fuhrer, or the Geno Breaker (this one has an issue with a piece on the neck that looks a bit like a vent, it is really fragile if handled improperly).

Hopefully I was of help, and good luck in your purchases!

Ebay will be your best bet to find older Zoids. You can sometimes find some for a decent price on Amazon as well, but I've seen far more on Ebay.

The Panzer has two versions-- One with the Liger Zero (I believe it's only the naked Liger Zero, not with the standard armor but I could be wrong on that one) and one that is just the [Panzer unit] (http://www.amazon.com/Zoids-Liger-Zero-Panzer-Unit/dp/B007CUHBS0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1420555091&sr=8-2&keywords=liger+zero+panzer), and would require you to purchase the Liger Zero separately.

I think of the HMM's I've built so far (Blade Liger, Psycho Geno Saurer, Command Wolf, Great Saber Gold ver.), the Great Saber was my favorite. Beautiful Zoid, solid build.

Just my thoughts on gluing these models. I have built 4 of these HMM models (Shield Liger, Blade Liger Bang Ver. [Pic](https://i.imgur.com/VU5go5C.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/VU5go5C.jpg), Raven's Geno Saurer, and the PK Iron Kong.) I glue all, non-moving pieces, and the reason is because, when you don't do that, the models are VERY fragile. I built the first one (the Shield Liger) without glue, and kept having issues where parts would fall off while trying to pose. I eventually stripped it all down and rebuilt it with glue because of that. I like to pose these models because there is so much articulation to them, that posing them is a joy. Using glue basically makes them an action figure.

​

This is the "glue" I use: Model Master - Liquid Cement for Plastic Models. This stuff basically fuses the plastic to plastic, so that's why glue is in parenthesis, so be VERY careful. I like that it has a needle like tube that allows you to use a very minimal amount, and 1 bottle lasts for many builds. Just my 2 cents from a guy who actively builds with glue.

Red Horn

Cannon Tortoise

Buster Tortoise

There are more on Amazon, but all of those should ship to Canada.

I'm in the US, but I buy most of mine off Amazon, or at anime/comic cons.

I've never had an issue with bootlegs, but I've heard Amazon has your back.



Edit: formating and stuff I forgot.

It's never too late! ...unless you glued parts together x_x

And Thank you! I use this:
LimoStudio 16" x 16" Table Top Photo Photography Studio Lighting Light Tent Kit in a Box, AGG349 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005CX9S8A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_EvGkybSDHRF61

but I found that 16x16 is a bit small for a model of this size, so I bought a larger tent separately. I used an iPhone5c camera

You are looking at $40-50 for shipping from HLJ and it will be close getting it in time, depending on where you are located, for Christmas with the amount of shipping going on at the moment. I'm showing Amazon has it for $90 and Prime shipping.

Definitely get a good pair of hobby side cutters. This is what I use, and I've had it for a year and a half and it's still really sharp and leaves almost zero stress marks right against the plastic. There's cheaper ones out there, but you'll need to cut farther away from the piece and then use an exacto knife. Then use sanding sticks to get everything flush.

Sorry if you know all this, just saw the nail clipped comment and they're definitely not the best idea on a kit, especially if you just spent 80 bucks on one.

u/GreatDevilicous · 2 pointsr/Zoids

i think he was talking about a CA and hardener combo. i could be wrong though. https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Accelerator-Debonder-Spouts-HK-1/dp/B001LNW5M6

u/ThePurpleCookies · 3 pointsr/Zoids

Your dead on about all of that. What makes me mad is that this game exists but its Japan only and to my knowledge won't play on a US Xbox 360. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000E3WPWE/ref=redir_mdp_mobile

u/MacBookAmateur · 1 pointr/Zoids

Sorry for the dumb questions but what kit exactly? I couldn't find it outside of this kit: https://www.amazon.com/ZOIDS-EZ-034-Jenobreaker-Plastic-Kotobukiya/dp/B008MU8BS8

Tumblr post seems to say it's a Berserk Fury. Does the regular Koto HMM Berserk Fury come with them?

If so I hope it comes with the upcoming markingplus ones in June.
