Its been a while since I had something delivered.

*snip*

Hmmm.. I wonder which Valk would go well with Yurisha!?

Nice pics Saburo! I'd say this one:

pM'd

Maybe the fold booster? That came with the original one.

Ordered! As someone who only very recently watched and got into Frontier and collecting the Frontier Valks, I'm loving them so far! I like the 27's...they just look...wicked somehow. I can only imagine a dark grey or black one!

I remember someone doing a great black ivanov custom one here. He had a custom VF-0C painted green too. I wanna say it's valhary but not too sure.

I was thinking of that too but liked the rear tail of the SH-3. I'd say a mix of both.

As for the Tunny, someone was looking for the YC-14:

Not a variable aircraft. Maybe should change topic to real world references of Macross items.

Siorkorvsky Sea Sargent:

Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King

Have you seen this one yet?

He's looking for the assembled version like below. That's the unassembled kit. Thanks for the link though! Even those are hard to find.

Wooho. Finally got my big swag box. Working from home today too

Today's suggested work schedule:

1hr- filling out paperwork, computer stuff, important work stuff

7hrs- transforming, swooshing, reviewing new purchases

30 minute lunch break looking at new purchases.

I'd say "let's call it a day for working"

I wonder if someone decided " Let's make the front of the gunpod inline with the lower intakes on the D" but forgot all about the arrestor hook? Someone gotta ask Mr. K.

Very nice! Love the background!

This is my new screensaver!

I've uploaded both of these pics before but I've done some minor photo editing for the first time. Nothing major, used the stock photo app on android to do it, so hopefully the quality translates to a larger screen. I know they got kind of artifacty on my Facebook. Looking for honest criticism so I can try to keep improving

Maybe the pros can chime in but I'm also learning too so this is my personal opinion. Are you going for the more dramatic look a single light source gives? I was just wondering because multiple light sources will get rid of shadow areas and highlight the valk more but give it less dramatic effect. Also where you place the light source in reference to the subject can make a world of difference. Play with the locations till you find one you like and go with it. Light color temperatures can also effect the pic. Most important is find what works for you and HAVE FUN!

Good to know as I'm just now getting into the Bandai Valks. In other news, I think this is going to a "final" configuration. Mr and Mrs. Jenius with the Virgin Road.

Nice setup! Will take pics of the 7 set up later on today.

Got these yesterday.

Awesome!

Cool shots!

Yes it fits. Check out Saburo's YF-25 pics here or on Flickr for reference.

@wmkjr...can you show a couple of close up pics of that insane 6 Valk VF-1 stand setup you have going on???

Which setup are you talking about? The 6 valk setup on my Flickr account or the 7 valk setup in the pic above?

Not hurting anything for me. I think it's just the weight of the valks causes the feet to "smoosh" onto the glass, which is good if you want it to be firmly planted. It's only a concern if you move your bases around a lot but even that is minor as I just grab the center part of the adapter base and gently guide it off the glass. How it handles in the long run we'll have to wait and see.

If you send him a sample VB-6 to prototype I'm sure he can make one . Especially with the upcoming release coming up.

Also the feets do have a bit of grip to my glass shelves but I just have to be careful when I take them out to "play" . The VF-0D adapter works quite well as I finally got my Zero shelf set up:

Yes, if they are the same (which I think it will) it's easy as unscrewing the screw under the gear. I tried it with the Yamato but it doesn't fit,too narrow.

The VF-0D nose section is just slightly narrower than the old zeros. Guess I'll just wait for the new A/S too come out then. I don't think the VF-0A proportions are wrong as it's more of the 0D being a renewal/revised version. Also, I thought the series was CAD designed so no anime magic or am I wrong?

@Nightingale nice shots! What type of stand is that?

Nice stickering Derex

You use the extra long bolt from the hardware store so you can fit more than two arms in one joint, right?

Yes. With extra washers in between the arms for friction. I put in a disclaimer to the setup.

Ouch! Those legs must've been pegged in super tight. It looks like a lot of force caused the leg tab to stress and crack/warp. Was the legs pulled straight up and down? Or was it pulled with a rotated motion? There looks to be stress marks on the left side near the crack in the center on the first pic.

Same setup as above except reversed the rear XL arm direction. Got it up to seven VF-1's now.

Zero quad:

1 Standard Yetistand base

1 standard arm

2 double arm

4 XL arms

2 elbows

2 M5 80 x 30 Metric hex bolt from hardware store (This is the only thing that is modified. Everything else is from Yetistore)

2 extra rubber washers from extra arms lying around

Adapters to fit

Disclaimer: I'm doing this knowing full well I'm not using the setup as it was intended to be. It holds extremely well but don't wanna get Yeti in trouble as there are hardware not intended to be used in the original design. There are ways to do the quad with standard Yeti parts but I haven't tried the setups.

A Yeti! I commissioned a New Zealand artist to come up with a Yeti mascot for YetiStand.

You should make him climbing a Yetistand like King Kong. No wait, that's a gorilla.

NIce ground crews! Are those the ones that come with the destroids?
