Scale Mecha Models for Beginners (Zoids): Supplies You May Need

Описание: 2019 UPDATE - I'm now running a pretty successful blog about video game stuff. You should come visit! Also, I did a post about the creepiest message I ever recieved in my life which was because of this video. Enjoy! https://backlogcrusader.com/2019/06/1...

(Apologies for the video quality and camera shake. All I have to work with is my laptop's built in webcam.)


I am by no means an expert at any of this stuff. This video is based on my personal experience and my wish that there had been a video like this for me to watch when I was first starting out.


Shoutout to the lovely people at   / zoids
