Wicked Ace Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) YES!! just need to paint a VF1S head arrows since I already have a VF1A max, now anyone know the color for the kakizaki? =) thanks wicked!! It's likely that I've missed something in your posts, but are you making a Max -1S? If so, the Tamiya color I used for mine is totally off the blue used by Yamato. You can see the contrast on page two of the how-to thread I posted a link to. edit: to keep this thread on topic, check out my b team collection, and note my wm cheng knock-off coat hanger model stand skills.

wolfx Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Yes Sir, just the first editions as noted above: I bought my VF-1S as soon as it came out so its the 1st edition, and i have never seen this "mole" on mine. Hmm...lucky i guess.
Scream Man Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Do u guys mean the red dot? Isnt that supposed to be there?
jenius Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) If you stare directly into the sexy eye Visor of the VF-1S above and then let your eyes drift down just a bit and to your left of the center line you'll notice a little white pimple of sorts. That's the flaw that bugs people about the first edition 1S. Edit - Sorry, the lighting isn't ideal in that picture... I'll photoshop it at a later date to brighten it up a bit.

doodler7 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 LurkerX, nice collection man. What do you do for a living? I ask because I may be in the wrong industry. Nice setup too.
mojacko Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Lurker X ur collection is breath taking!!! great Toy Museum!!!
anime52k8 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Do u guys mean the red dot? Isnt that supposed to be there? its that little spot that circled in this pic.
LurkerX Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Thanks for the encouraging comments guys I’m just a lowly underpaid accountant. Not too crazy about clutter so I try to display my stuff as neatly as possible. I am also a big fan of the “museum look†as opposed to the “toy store lookâ€. I can be pretty anal at sometimes, if you’ll notice that all my Valks are displayed with other mechas and military vehicles of around the same scales haven’t had the time and will to paint the ground crew though. The basement is my “de-tox/de-stress†area. When I feel like taking a break from life I come down there.
Valkyrie addict Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) soooooooooooo...that's the infamous beauty mark on the 1S everyone hated so much... my god that thing is nasty, hahaha, people also hate the seam line running across the middle of the 1S head, but according to Yamato (I read somewhere a long time ago, don't remember), this is DYRL correct altought, I don't see that seam line on my avatar Edited January 5, 2007 by Valkyrie addict

eugimon Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Wow! you did a great job displaying that collection. I don't think I've seen store displays that were half as nice or as diverse.
Valkyrie addict Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Wow!! I love your Elite Force collection!!! some of the best military action figures around!

eugimon Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 You lose macho points by having care bears. but not for the hello kitties?
baronv Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Wow sci70716 you have one great display case there, very professional.

Edited January 7, 2007 by rdenham
jenius Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 That's a very nice display case. How tall is that? My problem with finding good pre-made display cases is that they tend to be a bit shorter than I'd like.
Scream Man Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 some nice stuff there Hatori. makes me wish i had a bigger area to display valks! ditto to u redenham
eugimon Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I have been collecting Macross items for years however I just now got a curio for them. nice collection and that's a great looking display
rdenham Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) This side entry curio is 30.25in (wide) x 12in (deep) 72in (high). Although I would not get this curio to display small items it works perfectly for large scale Yamato valks. The curios shelf placement holes do not go all the way up the inside of the curio; instead they are grouped in sets of 3, every foot or so. The things I like most about this curio is that it is affordable at $169.00, so you can get more than one and it has a contemporary design. Too often curio cabinets are very ornate; I just don’t see flowers cut into the wood and etched glass going as well with big sci-fi robots.

jenius Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Overall dimensions sound pretty good. I think a little more depth would probably help but otherwise that's fairly decent. It's affordable huh? Where would one get one like this and what's the price tag? I almost bought one just like it a year ago but it had an oak finish.
sci70716 Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 That 2 shelves with the care bears and hello kitty belongs to my wife. the rest are ALL MINE! YES! sadly the shelves are almost totally filled...no chance of expanding..so somestuff have to go back into store room.
Mechafan Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Rdenham I have that same cabinet. My wife got it for me. I did take the front glass off. I got tired of reaching around the sides.
jenius Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 things I like most about this curio is that it is affordable at $159.00, so you can get more than one and it has a contemporary design Wow, that's seriously a great price! Side-entry is a pain but how often am I actually putzing around with the stuff in my cabinets? Where does one buy one of these?
