I have no idea where Zeekdober fits in to the battle story. He's not an Uber, so... yeah.

Zeekdober is a battery powered Zoid, despite being no bigger than Command Wolf. This isn't really a "custom", but I thought he could stand a bit of sprucing up. Thus, I painted some of the details on his legs and guns (and a large booster on the back) with Tamiya Copper, his paws, ears and guns are Panzer Schwarzgrau, and his teethies are flat white.

Why Tomy insists on making their Zoids with teeth the same colour as the rest of the head I will never know. If our teeth were the same colour as our skin, it would look supremely creepy. "See my flesh-coloured teeth!" "AIGH! NO ME GUSTA!!!"

It just seemed too monochrome in places.

The colored pawtips really add to the feet. If I ever get a Siegdober I may well have to do that!

Image Anime still has some for a decent price. $40 with shipping isn't cheap, but it's better than what you'll find on Ebay. "OOh, a vintage Zeek for $450?! It's 20 years old and the motor probably lights itself on fire when you put a battery in it, but count me in!"

The feet were the biggest issue for me; it's not sensible to make 'em the same color as the rest of the leg bits. The other details just started to bug me the longer I stared at it.
