AlphaHX Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 (edited) Ooo... neato. I like. What model did you use for the 1/8000 SDF-1? The Imai one? Edited April 14, 2005 by AlphaHX Quote
Less than Super Ostrich Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 This looks very creative! I like the progress so far. Quote
HWR MKII Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Im suprised that none of the other modellers(myself included) have attempted that! Are the white"ground" pieces laser cut or did you do that with an exacto? I also like the ARMD platforms. Quote
promethuem5 Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 That's sweet. The ARMD platforms look a bit wide to me for some reason, but it is fantastic anywyas. Can't wait to see more. Quote
peter Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 Holy crap that's awesome. Keep posting pictures man! Quote
TSP Posted April 15, 2005 Author Posted April 15, 2005 Ooo... neato. I like. What model did you use for the 1/8000 SDF-1? The Imai one? Bandai 15th anniversary re-release. That's why it is chromium plated. The base-plate is hand cutted. Can't effort such kind a machine. The design from the "Do you remember love"-Protoculture relict isn't hard to make from polystyrol sheets. But the main question should be Minmay ,Mylene ,Wendy or Ishtar? i was thinking about a concert scenario. As background of the arena there will be three big screens. I like to put some decals on them but don't know which one I should prefer . Flashback 2012 Lynn Minmay is my favor. But there aren't enough good pictures of matured Minmay. And the arena was round in FB2012! Quote

peter Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 This morning! I've got an old decrepit SDF-1 that's been collecting dust for the last 15 years and you've really inspired me to resurrect it and do what you did. I'm not going to be very creative about it, I'm just going to copy as best as I can what you did. It's such an awesome idea I can't beleive no one else did it before. Quote
hellohikaru Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 Is that an Aurora Spyplane next to it ? Quote
Guest Bromgrev Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 Well, TSP, I predict a flood of SDF1-in-the-lake dioramas! You've unleashed something unstoppable. I know what I'm going to do with my Bandai, now ... Quote
RichterX Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 I still want to see a destroye SDF-1 like in the last episode of Macross Tv Quote
yman1437 Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 ah...Macross city, such a nastalgic feeling Quote

I copied it from Hobby Japan Issue 10 1999. There was someone joining the Jaf-Con with a Macross city . Quote
Chas Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 Hey TSP, Great idea (doing your own version of it), and so wonderfully executed I'm trully impressed. I just thought I'd let you know that I'm in the process of scanning my coppy of the Flashback 2012 graffiti book which is just chock full of images of the Mature Minmei and the concert arena I should be posting a link to the images sometime tomorrow eve. in the T.V./movies forum. Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 damn...that's so freakin' awsome...i would love to see the finished version when you're done Quote

TSP Posted April 19, 2005 Author Posted April 19, 2005 Sorry no progress pics for today Saturday was dedicated to Retrogamersday. Sunday for guests and monday an interview for a new job. Quote
TSP Posted April 19, 2005 Author Posted April 19, 2005 Is that an Aurora Spyplane next to it ? No! But something I will get smashed to pieces if would tell. Someone told me it is the holly grale of X-bombers. I'm not religios so I don't care about that. A 1/380 XB-70 Valkyrie from Academy. I was waiting for a Trumpeter sixpack of Su-27K Seaflankers but they were on backorder for a week or 2 two. So I started with the SDF-1 and AFC-01H. Having three days off a week sucks. But I will have some dose model building today. Quote
Renato Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 I love it. Even if something similar appeared in a magazine before, it's still very original. I especially love the way you've framed it using the design of the Protoculture memory plate from the movie. Nice touch. Best diorama I have seen in a long time. Quote
TSP Posted April 30, 2005 Author Posted April 30, 2005 After a week without internet I've got this kit (and several other)done. I wish I could add some pictures of this modell with newly edited stickers for the monitorbut sadly I have to stop building models the next few months. And to make things even worse the camera is defect. But I will post the final version if I have the opportunity . Quote
TSP Posted April 30, 2005 Author Posted April 30, 2005 I tried to attach the strings to the SDF-1 and the base it cost me a hole day work . First I used 0.05mm thin metal wire but the Cyanacrylat glue won't harden fast enough. The places where I glued the wires were to big . Big enough for it's own diorama. After cleaning those places I used heaten up PS speus. These were so thin that they got eaten up by the modell glue. At the end of the day I thought about using hair. That was way to sick so I just depraved this idea. Quote
