Great work Paul. I also have to say I kind of like that unpainted cream one. It was just putting the idea in my head how amazing one of these massive beasts would be in GID vinyl, ideally with just some light subtle paints like on Yuji's M1s. A giant glowing apparition is something I dream of owning.

i can't imagine a glow one.
Out of the corner of my eye, this thing still startles me.
I'm constantly moving it around the house.

I was asked by One-up to paint a few of these Zenith monstrosities.
These things are really huge and nuts with textures. Holding one definitely make an instant fan out of you!
Included was a bag of assorted limbs. It was sort of a challenge deciding how to arrange them for optimum visual placement, then cutting the holes. Sort of like a big crazy Mr. Potato head.




Nice work Paul! Those are really amazing. That blank is dreamy just as it is. But if anyone is going to paint it, I know you'll do another amazing job. I'd love to see lulubell or some other US store to carry these. I'd find the money somewhere to grab a blank.

These came out beautiful ! I like that weird shellfish-siphon-like appendage you plugged in near the base of the one on the right. Were you not tempted to install one of those drill-like mega schlongs in a full frontal position ?

Damn! Just saw the pics... Now don't get me wrong, I am ecstatic to have this one by paul, but seriously I brought this one home today and thought "Wow. This thing is nuts, one is enough for any collection!" Now it might have to be 2... Pink unpainted... ;)

That pink one is crazy. I would love to have one of those in the collection.

I know it's not the right thread, but those Yamomark roosters are pretty cool also.

It's cool dude. I don't mind if people repost pics - with a link back is best so others can see the full report.

Actually the reason I set images up the way I do and not in a gallery/slideshow style is so each image will have its own URL. Makes it easier to see the full size and repost elsewhere, and folks don't have to bother rehosting on flickr, etc.

Here's that Zenith:

So Andy, can you give any additional info about the pink zenith? Was is an actual release? A pre-order? None of the above? Like I say, I just got my pk zenith, but a blank would be very cool.

It was marked for sale at the event. I think the price was around 30,000-35,000 yen. I guess they were selling it there but don't know if they were taking pre-orders.

Cant believe you picked it up, such a massive toy. Great work by paul, no doubt.

I had my eye on that GID king jinx, but EMS was the nail on the coffin for me.

Hanawa painted one I think. It is on his IG. Can I post HIS IG photo or is that a faux pas?

I'm always impressed with the details Hanawa paints. Must have taken quite a long time.
