I heard Scorched Earth Toys say Ro-bo-dough, so that's how I would say it unless corrected. Actually I hate that name and try to just call it Three Zero Roy VF-1S or whatever.

Agree. ^ Of course now that they messed with/repaired the legs, the joints are all weird. Teach them a lesson and send it back again?

I got the 1J the other day and am super impressed with it. It's not perfect, but you definitely get your money's worth. Detail is really well done. Paint is great. It looks good with almost any pose. Probably the worst pose is what it looks like in the box. Like looking down into a grave lol. Another bonus for me is that it's closer in scale with the majority of my other Valkyries. I preordered the 1S today. I hope they come out with more of these other than M&M VF-1J. I've never really liked the M&M scheme (just personal preference).

I have more pics of his other models, but don't want to piss off anyone by posting more non-Mospeada related ones. Also not sure if he wants everything shared. I only asked about the Horizont. I'll tell him about the positive comments!

I haven't visited Macrossworld in ages. The Sentinel Riobot Tlead/Tread/Beta brought me back. I wanted to also share some pics of my cousins 100% scratchbuilt Horizont he made. It was a long process, he modeled it on the computer, then some of it was 3d printed, others were made out of plastic sheets IIRC. I thought it was REALLY well done. He asked if I was interested in letting him build my old Moscato 1/32 Legioss and I definitely will let him, but I also kinda want to sell it, but I don't think it will fetch as much as I paid for it. I added some of the other models and projects he's done.

Come on up. In the winter, the snow/ice on the streets only lasts 2 or 3 weeks sometimes! I setup my last Yetistand today. Sorry for all the pics, I'm done now.
-
Thanks. I think they're the most ingenious things. I setup my last stand.

I'm in WA State, US. It was 38F last night. No heat on in that room.
-
Every light is going to be different. Lots of LEDS put out noticeable heat, but it's deffinitely less than an old filament lightbulb. I just took some temp gun readings on my stuff. It's 66F degrees in the display room. The 1 watt led spotlights were 92F at their hottest spot (on the lights metal body). My PG Gundam shield 3 inches away was 68 degrees. The valks at the top were 66.

It hadn't occurred to me that they can stand with only the backglass and the door, but now that I think about it, of course they will. I'll have to take them down and remove more glass. Maybe I'll get some help this time instead of doing it myself.
-
Mine don't seem to be that bad, but I've heard others say they hate the dust on theirs. It's something to consider. Even things like having a central air vent near your display can add to the problem. I used to have mine near the entryway to the house. They got a little dusty there. Now they're in a room with the least amount of use in the house. I've never had displays side by side before, so I hope I don't have to dust in between them much. That... could be... a pain.
-
^ Well, to keep dust down, the more sealed the better. People pick the IKEA Detolf in part I believe because they are cheap. I haven't checked lately, but they used to be like $70. The problem is, you have to have an Ikea nearby otherwise they charge something ridiculous like $200 to ship.
-
Good eye. So, the outer cabinets are Detolfs, and the inner cabinets are Detolf knockoffs I found on Amazon. Here's the ones I have, but I paid less than they are at now. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000IN9BRC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They are not exactly the same as detolfs. The inner bar frames are much thicker, and they use a different system to mount the shelf glass. I got them because IKEA is over 300 miles away from me now. The center is open on the center 2 cabinets. This is the standard mod where you don't install glass on the sides of two of the cabinets, then put them next to each other. Yes, all 4 of them have closing doors.
-
Yeah, I can't find a nice/cheap 14x14" or 15x15" cube anywhere. I'd even take 16 or 17".

All the ones on the bottom are PGs except the Zeong on the far left. The PG Zeta, hmm, I love it, but it's not very dynamic. It's not like a toy transformation at all. It's more like carefully moving a part at a time so you don't break anything. I actually picked up another Zeta just to keep in Waverider (and have extra parts), so there's your answer, don't get it for the transformation. All my PGs need some tune-ups. The joints are all lose. Fingers pop off all the time. Most of them can't hold their guns up high. Maybe I'll try taking them apart one by one and fixing them.
