Since no toy company was making an updated TV Style SDF-1, I finally caved and got an old-school Matchbox version. While waiting for it, I started seeing all the customs and mods everyone was doing or did to theirs. Needless to say, y’all are a bunch of enablers! I was only gonna do a few changes, but I decided to do a “few” more custom touches. So yeah, I’ve been cribbing notes from everyone’s work. It looked like the Macross I got was in good condition (no yellowing, all railguns in great condition, etc.). But it had this issue: I’m gerry-rigging a workaround, since the plastic around the ratchet is kinda brittle. But I’ll see how well it succeeds, once I reassemble that whole chest/main guns area. First up, I painted and detailed the Prometheus and the Daedelus: Spent too many times referencing back to the M3 website. Painting the lines yellow (that mark off the Prometheus’ elevators) was an idea I cribbed from @nightmareB4macross’s awesome custom. The sides of the Daedelus looked kinda bare, so I made some homemade stickers to detail her up. I’ll post more as I get other bits done.
