I would'nt know for I am not you.....if I was you though.....I would be a HAPPY HAPPY MAN with all those BEAUTIFUL 1/48s. OO Edited June 15, 2008 by misterryno
misterryno Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 here's how i displayed my DRYL Valks.. they're actually placed inside a large glass (actually once an acquarium lol) as i am too lazy to dust/clean them every now and then.. That's pretty damn AWESOME! I have seen many a Aquariums for sale at garage sales for CHEAP. I need to pic one up. What a marvelous idea! It just makes me sad though that Max is missing a hand . Did Miriya catch him with his hand on another girl?!?
MaveRick Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 misterryno: i totally didn't notice it.. i found the other hand inside the aquarium.. okay.. this is my second to the last dio. i used a total of 14 chain bases, other scraps from model kits, and spare yamato stickers.. hope you like it guys.

Okay, I am officially jealous! I have got to get those sets! I can save space for displaying if I can stack them like that. Is those the same bases you mentioned before MaveRick? I'm going to the site to place an order just as soon as you let me know. Thanks!

I'm pretty fricken sure that those are the chain bases you can order from HLJ. OO
MacrossMan Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 I'm sure you mean 1S.....unlesss of course you are going to pick up that custom 25th 1J that Toboro made. I would'nt know for I am not you.....if I was you though.....I would be a HAPPY HAPPY MAN with all those BEAUTIFUL 1/48s. OO Yeah, I meant 1S. The custom is a kind of redundant, but the 1S, meh, I might.
MaveRick Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 macrossman: yup same base.. but you might need to buy at least two chain base 10 to get that second level 'ala lift/launch bay where i placed my Hikaru. I have a couple of them upcoming, but just can't prolong my patience anymore, so i modify some of the base to pull it out.. not would it save's you a lot of space, i think it somehow makes your valk look even better.. kinda like putting them on the pedestal..

I just ordered 6 of the bases; 2 each of 1-3. About how much is EMS shipping from HLJ. I probably won't get the total until tomorrow some time. Besides that I need to add the 2 of the #10 bases. Thanks!
MaveRick Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 don't mention it.. you've got really cool valks, i'm pretty sure they'll look even better than mine.. i'm not really sure as to how much exactly are there EMS rates for HLJ, i did my purchase of those chain base over toy-wave.. actually most of my macross stuff came from ken too..
Vegas Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) Ballchinian haterism... OO OO Man you know I've always admired your collection and tenacity for grabbing stuff up. I'll be completing a transaction for my Max VF-1S soon. My 1/48 will be as complete as I am going to make it. I might pick up the 25th Anniversary Special Edition VF-1J, but I am just not a fan of it... Anywho, sweet looking pics brother. Thanks for sharing! MM OO hey im jealous about that 1D of yours....it looks so pretty! im telling you bro just get them all....youre already 95% complete anyway. Vegas Valkyrie, Nice pics mate! Keep em coming! thanks mysterryno! Edited June 15, 2008 by Vegas Valkyrie
Vegas Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) vegas: love that SV-51 Nora pic.. here's how i displayed my DRYL Valks.. they're actually placed inside a large glass (actually once an acquarium lol) as i am too lazy to dust/clean them every now and then.. thanks maverick, if it wasnt for you i wouldnt be inspired in taking pics. once again nice diorama pre! i need to practice more Edited June 15, 2008 by Vegas Valkyrie
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 fu*cking awesome MaveRick. Now thats a god damn valkyrie factory right there!
MacrossMan Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 don't mention it.. you've got really cool valks, i'm pretty sure they'll look even better than mine.. i'm not really sure as to how much exactly are there EMS rates for HLJ, i did my purchase of those chain base over toy-wave.. actually most of my macross stuff came from ken too.. Cool. I noticed Toy-Wave has them at 12 bucks a pop. How many did you order at once and how did you have them shipped with Ken? I've done business with Toy-Wave a few times and have good dealings with them. I just want to know which one has the best price then I can cancel the order with HLJ if needed. Toy-Wave still has that sale going on so I hope their shipping rates are good for these.
rick dieck Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 with all this marvelous pictures of your 1:48 valks, i m more than convinced that the new 1:60 v2 vf1 never will beat our 1:48s
MacrossMan Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 with all this marvelous pictures of your 1:48 valks, i m more than convinced that the new 1:60 v2 vf1 never will beat our 1:48s Don't get me wrong, I like the 1/60's and will be picking them up as well, but they could never take the place of the 1/48's. Being that they are Yamato's first perfect transformation toy done for the TV seris and DYRL movie, I feel a bit of loyalty to the line I guess. I have my remaining 1/48's stashed in the closet; basically hid so the missus doesn't get curious. Yesterday she saw the VF-1D and noticed the silver stand and just said "Those must be new?" I want to display all the 1/48 goodness, but I'm going to have to be subtle in adding the final few pieces. OO
MacrossMan Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Don't get caught! OO You already know the deal bro. Remember this? O
Ignacio Ocamica Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Show your wife/girlfriend all the useless stuff they buy I'm getting married in March 2009, but I made clear from day one that I'm not gonna save money against my Macross/Mospeada collection!!
MacrossMan Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Show your wife/girlfriend all the useless stuff they buy I'm getting married in March 2009, but I made clear from day one that I'm not gonna save money against my Macross/Mospeada collection!! Say bro, a co-worker and I, who happens to collect also, had the same conversation Friday when he came to my office to see my latest grabs. I shave my head and purchased a set of professional clippers to cut my son's hair. I save $32 a week alone in haircuts for both of us. I purchase clothes on an as needed basis and I carry a wallet for years before heading to Wally World for a new for about 10 bucks. With all the shopping for purses, clothing, hair and nails I wish to hell my wife would say something... Yet, I still hide my toys in the closet and bring them out subtly!!! I don't know man. My wife said she actually like the Shin Kudo battroid mode with the Ghost Booster attached and that was the reason she picked it out for me. She said she's slowly gaining an appreciation for them. Then she looks at my display case and says there's a few thousand dollars in that glass aint it? I just get quiet and subtly change the subject. I think she just turns the other cheek because she knows they bring me joy, and that my friend is the kind of mate you want on your team! I'm truly blessed to have an understanding wife. I just have to spoon feed her my appetite; otherwise she would blow up and chop off one of my balls! O

misterryno Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 You already know the deal bro. Remember this? O Oh yes.....how could a fellow Ballchinian forget . OO
misterryno Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 . I think she just turns the other cheek because she knows they bring me joy, and that my friend is the kind of mate you want on your team! I'm truly blessed to have an understanding wife. O Damn straight brother. A lucky one you are. If I were married instead of just being ingaged....I wonder if I would have it as easy as I do?!? OO
misterryno Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Here's a quick pic of the team. I am working on getting them all displayed.

MacrossMan Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) Maverick... you own this thread. (more like OWNED/Pwned/whatever) I bow to your displaying might. *bows* Now that my Ballchinian mate, is saying something!!! Coming from the king of Valkyrie poseability with limited space, I must take three steps back and kneel myself! MaveRick has truyly set the bar for this thread. I hope I am able to use some of his techniques and create some nice displays and photos myself...no time soon though! Awesome pics Mave and again, much respect to the king of poses for passing on the crown! MM OO Edited June 16, 2008 by MacrossMan
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Ahhh again owning, nothing like seein the VF-1A low-vis. I do hope they do it in 1/60, wouldn't that kick arse. WOULDN'T IT?
MacrossMan Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 took more pics today Ewww...damn! Nothing more to say on this display of Valk nastiness! Too sweet! Got word today that my LV1 with custom fastpacks is on its way. My pics certainly won't match the quality of VV's but I can sure appreciate the LV1 for what it's worth. After moving some things around, I now have an empty cube for the LV1 with custom fastpacks!!! Yes! Thanks Save! OO New space for the LV1. New space for the Cannon Fodder VF-0A Awaiting the LV1 with Custom Fast Packs
