Fly4victory Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 wow fly how many do you have.. For the move, I had over 260 boxes. Macross toys only: Twenty 1/48 One 1/55 Three 1/65 Twenty One 1/60 Seven 1/72 Seven 1/100 Toynami Seven 1/144 Two+ sets Chara-works 1/144 Two sets Yamato 1/200 Eleven Revoltech Nine CMS Figures One VB-6 Two 1/48 GBP-1 Twelve 1/48 VF-1 Fast Packs One Wave SDF-1 3+ sets each Toynami SP's (Robotech/ Macross/ Battlecry) One Matchbox Zentradi Nousjadeul-Ger One unknown Zentradi Queadluun-Rau 1/200ish So many more models. For those that are moving in the future one Large box will only hold four 1/48 "non-super" VF-1's if they are still in the Yamato box. The Macross room is together but I still need a TV and there are goodies already waiting in the closet. Found the 1/60 Nora in a non-Macross box and had to do some repairs on my Minmay Valkgirl.
Fly4victory Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Wicked Ace, the beer companies need to sponsor your ad campaign.... Nothing makes alcohol more attractive.
Fly4victory Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 The 1/72 models in the curio have now been replaced with 1/60 toy. My finished models will remain packed since I will be moving again in less than a year.
Wicked Ace Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Nice stuff, everyone. I look forward to the day I'll have a "collection" picture. The 1/60 YF-19 and fast pack are the only Macross items I have out of my moving boxes -- they were readily available to help me through my Macross toy/Macrossworld withdrawl.
MacrossMan Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Beer Booster Here are some pics of my Super Stealth with some Takatoys stickers applied. They probably don't make much sense, but once I got to cutting I couldn't stop and went a little over. Anwho, here they are. OO

MORE MORE MORE!!! OO
karmajay Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I can see the pilot getting into that Stealth, macrossman -- "Er, with all this sponsor advertising how the heck am I gonna sneak up on anybody!"
MacrossMan Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) With a lot of focus on the new v2 1/60's I'd like to shift things back to the baddest scale there ever will be. Thank God for the 1/48 Macross toys and Takatoys stickers; not only do the stickers make your Valks look awesome, but they allow you to keep the contents of your box minty fresh. As long as they are not sealed they're easily removed with no residue. OO The DYRL VF-1S Possee Hikaru's DYRL Super VF-1A Super Stealth & LV1 Edited June 25, 2008 by MacrossMan
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 very nice macrossman I really hope they bring the stealth as a v.2 1/60.

They are all so beautiful! OO
MacrossMan Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 very nice macrossman I really hope they bring the stealth as a v.2 1/60. Thanks Ruski you ole jolly bloke! My instincts tell me we won't see any of the variants in 1/60. I hope the Ballchinian is wrong...at least not the LV1!
MacrossMan Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 VERY AWESOME Brother!!! I love to see your valks! They are all so beautiful! OO We appreciate the bretheren's admiration! The 1/48's are just beautiful without even trying. How do you think I got addicted? Browsing this forum and seeing all the 1/48 greatness! Even my wife has come to accept my "condition". The valks I had stashed away she put into a neat stack on a shelf in my closet. I guess it was her way of letting me know I don't have to hide them anymore. I'm off call this weekend and no DJ'ing so I am free to trim and shave stickers and finish displaying my stuff! Whew-hoo!!! OO

misterryno Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Some cool pics I found while serving. THANKS FOR THOSE!!! THEY WERE AWESOME!!!
misterryno Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Has almost a real look to it.. Seriously now.....I need to get ALOT better at photoshop and all that good stuff. That pic is coolio!
TCracker Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Got really bored and panel line my VF0A, attempted some dry brushing and failed miserably....
hal9000 Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Looks good in the pics, not bad at all. How do you panel line?
MacrossMan Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Looks good in the pics, not bad at all. How do you panel line? My sentiments exactly!
TCracker Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Looks good in the pics, not bad at all. How do you panel line? Using 70% thinner and 30% tamiya paint. Drop it on the lines and let it run then wipe the access of with a piece of cloth.
misterryno Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Using 70% thinner and 30% tamiya paint. Drop it on the lines and let it run then wipe the access of with a piece of cloth. Nice job! I'm gonna have to try that method one day.
TCracker Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Tried it on the VF0S...not working....need to weather it. Panel lining just doesnt cut it
misterryno Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Tried it on the VF0S...not working....need to weather it. Panel lining just doesnt cut it Weathering would look good....but that panel lining looks great! I love the look it gives the 0S.
DyNo Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 A thank you goes out to MacrossMan for setting me up with this LV1 beauty. I've been waiting a long time to get my hands on one
MacrossMan Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) A thank you goes out to MacrossMan for setting me up with this LV1 beauty. I've been waiting a long time to get my hands on one It doesn't take much effort to pull off great pics of the LV1. The LV1 has to be one of nicest done Valks in my opinion. Happy to oblige the bretheren and glad it got to go to a good home a fellow MW member. Talk about trading places? OO Edited June 28, 2008 by MacrossMan
MacrossMan Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) I came up with an idea to get my glass display off the floor and in better position to enjoy my Valks. I found a plasma tv display stand that was a dead on match to my office furniture (only married guys have to deal with that type of thing. Had it been up to me it could have gone on milk crates.) for cheap. I ended up losing four cubes because the stand isn't wide enough. I'll save the glass and hardware to display the new v2 1/60's. Anywho, I am happy with the outcome as the display is directly in front of my desk now. OO Edited June 28, 2008 by MacrossMan
miriya Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 macrossman, that display is looking really great! Congratulations.
Vegas Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) looks great macrossman, way better from your last display configuration Edited June 28, 2008 by Vegas Valkyrie
MacrossMan Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 macrossman, that display is looking really great! Congratulations. Thanks Miriya. Everything is coming together well I think.
