Scream Man Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 My qestion is; Im sure i rememebr a few of these form some time ago. There was an awesome hanger bay type one, and probably a few others I have forgotten. Now personally i want to do some outdoors scenes, but i wondered if some people had examples of dios, and maybe any advice on making some. I know that 1/48 is easier to get stuff for for dios, and 1/60 has....well, nothing at all really. Or am i wrong about that? i have a 1/48 ground crew from Hasegawa; is there any other kits that work well for a dio? Lastly; do Yamatos launch arm stands work as parts of a dio? One I have planned is a vf-1s on the side of the macross folding out on the arm. I havent seen DYRL in a long time, so i cant remember how the arm functions in the anime, and i havent got any of the yamato versions to know if it works ina similar fashion. Quote
the_foul_fowl Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Hmm Scream Man, have you seen wmcheng's 1/72 resin DYRL flight stand with VF-1s Strike Valk? http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=17626 I remember he tried to make it close to the anime as possible. Maybe it'll be a good starting point for your own diorama Quote

Yamato's launch arm stand would not work well, as it grabs the Valkyries from underneath instead of from the top (by the fast pack). You'd have to come up with a new arm assembly to make any part of the Yamato stand work. Quote
Scream Man Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 I thought the arms latched onto the planes from the bottom anyway. dont they come out of the macross parrallel to the surface? Quote

Scream Man Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 hmmmmm that might not work then.... Quote
Dante74 Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I remember someone posting a pic of a display case with a Yamato stand hanging from the side grasping the FAST packs of a 1/48. IIRC the stand was connected to the Valk's FAST packs using screws. It looked neat, but I would never drill holes through my toys for display purposes. Quote
Scream Man Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 yeah me either. no big deal. plenty of other ideas Quote
