i really didn't have any plans at all of getting even a single destroid since one of my collection criteria is it should be transformable (and i seriously think the price is just too much for a non-transformable toy).. but eventually end up being compelled to get one as my project won't be completed without it:

i'm drooling over those MGs... i should remind myself not to skim through this thread again.. (not good for the health)

*sniff... *sniff

more pics please.. great to see the con's a big success.. i hope we could also do that here...

nice sequence shots monster... i need to play more with my valks

lolz

already did over customization thread... i also updated my signature

thanks guys.. somehow it gives me this feeling of excitement, anxiousness and pressure at the same time.. i really hope i could get this done as planned.. AND FAST. (Hopefully i could finish this in in a month or two) currently modifying the bridge, and the rest of the main body.. will post pictures by weekend.. big F: did the planning and scaling the other week, which took about two days.. then just slowly working on it since wednesday last week (roughly 1-2 hours, then spend the entire weekend working on it), fortunately a friend of mine was kind enough to let me stay at his place.. Major Focker: for this build, i used both hard type cardboard (the one's being used for picture frames) and wall cladding tiles (rubberized and a bit flexible thingy mostly used for wall finishings and sometimes for flooring). As much as possible i wanna make it as lightweight as possible without compromising its sturdiness. thegunny: i kinda like that version better..

bisayang dako! bisdak na si kicker bai alain! if not because of my build thread, i wouldn't even know.. i've been drolling on his collection for a while..

Kicker773: what the! unsa mana imoha bai? cloning?? idol!!

can't show you my "workBED" right now since i'm practically away from home.. but this is basically what's lying on my friend's bed my attempt at doing another scratch build project (a 4 feet long Macross DRYL SDF-1 with working lights hopefully)

some more pics: i borrowed my friend's exia gundam for scale reference: thanks for looking

here's my first progress pictures.. basically worked on the ships main body (center part) and the bridge.. i wasn't so happy with how the bridge turned out, it appears a bit wider with no more space for the round part, so i'm gonna have to do some changes on it.. already placed some minute details on the body, with a few holes on some part where i'll be putting on some lights underneath.. basically i intend to give the build somewhat the same light colors as this: (yellow, red and blue rectangular parts)

thanks vegas.. already started working on it today.. basically spent the whole day working on the bridge part.. i'll post pictures later (currently uploading them) edit: oppsss... kicker.. i will.. don't worry.. hopefully when this will be materialized i don't have any new project in mind to build..

Hey guys, it's been over a week since i finished my second project build.. but even before it's completion, i was already planning on doing my third project.. a 4 feet long MACROSS DRYL SDF-1.. it's quite an ambitious build, that i'm not even sure if i could actually do it.. but anyways, since i've started doing scratch build projects recently, then i might as well try it. I started doing some research, compiling all pics i can grab on it over the internet. i had a hard time looking at the line art pics, so i turned to my WAVE SDF-1 to figure out on how i'm gonna put on all intricate details. I was contemplating whether to make it fully transformable to attack mode which might require some compromise on the details and maybe a 'lil more brainstorming on how i'm gonna do portions that needs to be transformed, or just make it static, but with all the details and electronics implemented (lights, some parts rotating like radars and the like)... anyway, after over an hour of contemplating, i decided to choose on the later.. i think it's a safer route for me. wish me luck guys..

care to elaborate these problems? i guess i've lucked out.. coz i got roughly 40 1/48 valkyries.. and so far, only one valk (VF-1S Roy Focker's' Heat shield left peg) broke on me, but that's after i dropped it accidentally at about 3 feet.. it's a different story with my first ever 1/60 valk though.. my VF-1s already had that nasty crack on the right shoulder right out of the box.. tsk

1/72 scale crew almost have the same size as the 1/60 VF-1 pilots.. as for other macross series mechs, pilot figures seems to be a bit larger (YF-1 isamu for one).. 1/60 shin.. and a 1/48 ground crew
