mojacko Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 @ rdenham nice display cab.....like d way u display ur collectibles!!!
rdenham Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) Since both of the larger planes are in 1-48 scale they really go together well & it allows me to combine both of my collections. I can't wait until later this week when I get my Low-Vis Woodland Camo VF-1A so I can display it with my Armour 1-48 Robin Olds F-4. Edited January 8, 2007 by rdenham
Fly4victory Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 The armour "sun downers" mini helmet is a great touch. Really fills in the set.
DeeLux Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Awsome collections guys! And I have to ask rdenham as well.... Where does one buy one of these?
rdenham Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Thanks for the complements I have really enjoyed how this cabinet turned out. I purchased it at a closeout warehouse called City Liquidators in Portland OR.
dafunguy Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Here's a link to that display cabinet: http://www.vcf.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servl...productId=16551 Too pricey for me.
Dante74 Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) A couple of years ago I had the chance to get a display case from an acquaintance that worked at an electronics store. They were refurnishing the store and were getting new store display cabinets. It had 1 cm thick glass and was about 1.5 m wide and 2 m high. I didn't collect toys back then and it was heavy as hell and much too big to drag up two flights of stairs so I passed and let my father in law have it. Every time I see that display cabinet I feel like kicking myself... Edited January 11, 2007 by Dante74
jenius Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Darn, I really like it but I'm in CA so it seems i'm SOL.
rdenham Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) dafunguy, great job on finding that link. After the request for were this curio could be found I went on line looking for it and came up with nothing. If my memory serves me right Ashley made this curio; I used to have an official promo picture for the curio; however I can't find it anymore. Edited July 5, 2007 by rdenham
jenius Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 LOL Kyp, that almost looks like the type of picture someone takes of their pets.
mister_e Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 It's pics like those that remind you that the Legioss is REALLY small. Even at 1/48 scale (or 1/55 if you believe Toynami), that thing is still dwarfed by the 1/60 VF-0S and YF-19
Kyp Durron Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 LOL Kyp, that almost looks like the type of picture someone takes of their pets. Yeah, it is amazing just how small the Legioss is compaire to the other two. I love all three equally. The YF-19 is much more solid than the VF-0S and about on par with the Legioss in fighter mode. -Kyp
Mog Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 It's pics like those that remind you that the Legioss is REALLY small. Even at 1/48 scale (or 1/55 if you believe Toynami), that thing is still dwarfed by the 1/60 VF-0S and YF-19 True. But I'm sure the 1/60 VF-1 would get dwarfed too, if it were added to the mix. Also, I think if we were ever to connect the Legioss to its "big brother"/back-up, it'd probably even things up a little bit in the size comparison.

Let's go find where they keep those prototypes at and take them for ourselves!!! Muhahahaha!!! Seriously, they really need to make them... I thought about buying a blue Legioss just in case, but since it looks like Toynami is going back on it's plan, I guess I won't bother. -Kyp
Auto Pilot Off Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 my yf-19 panel lined my stealth panel lined and some stickers from takatoys
Scream Man Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 what did u use to white line the stealth? It looks great!
Auto Pilot Off Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 actually its silver chalk on stealth .. i scraped the silver chalked into powder using a hobby knife then i mixed it with alil bit water and liquid soap to make it thick mixture.. then i apply on the lines using a fine brush leave to dry then use a damp facial tissues or cutton buds to remove excess...

WOW! That's a heck of a process! One other question, and this is probably a NUB question, so pardon me. How did you get the original emblem off the left wing so that you could replace it with the stealth emblem?
Auto Pilot Off Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 yeah.. its a heck of process but i think its better cos those silver lines can be removed easily... i didnt remove the original emblem off the left wing i just cut the sticker into size and paste it over carefully.. neat trick ah...

Thanks for the tip. I'm ordering some Takatoys stickers for my Stealth (hopefully) and that looks much better than the red emblem.
Dante74 Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Nice setup Valhary! Even a Valk needs personal space.
Wicked Ace Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) what did u use to white line the stealth? It looks great! Auto Pilot Off's Stealth looks really good. If you want a more toned down panel line here's another option: Edited January 31, 2007 by Wicked Ace
Macross73 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) So i changed my living room and bedroom What i really need though is new TV and Stand but I keep getting Macross and SOC stuff instead LOL Edited April 8, 2007 by Macross73
eugimon Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 heh, first time I saw someone display the boxes in glass shelves.
Macross73 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 yeah, i'm running out of space Closets are full.
do not disturb Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 So i changed my living room and bedroom What i really need though is new TV and Stand but I keep getting Macross and SOC stuff instead LOL haha, all this time i thought my wall of shame was bad.
GutsAndCasca Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 *laughing* wall of shame, huh? I move into a new house (5 bedroom!) in a couple weeks, up from a two bedroom apartment. I'm debating exactly if/and/or/what I'm going to display from my rather extensive collection of macross goodies. (We're going to have a lot of people over all the time from now on... mostly my wife's family members) But screw people's opinions; my new YF-19 goes up where everyone can see it because Isamu and I share the same last name, damnit.

I like displaying my stuff, I just wish i had more space for it all. Meanwhile everything is safe behind the glass. I'm gonna have to get rid of the stuff thats not Macross and SOC related.
BoBe-Patt Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 wow, so out of all that, you have only one vintage macross toy? How much did you pay for that elintseeker? You planning on displaying it?
Macross73 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) Yep thats all . I started collecting late in the game. i think it was about 250-300 i cant recall. I'll display some day when i have more space to put up the 1/55 i have Edit: The VE-1 is not mint the package has a tear and when i got it the not all of the armor was there. But i was just glad to get it. Thanks to NMB4 I now have armor to go with it. Edited February 1, 2007 by Macross73
jenius Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 $300 for a minty elint would be an absolute steal! I paid $550 for mine . I think I paid $500 for my SuperO and it has a couple spots of yellowing.
