valkyrie13 Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Hi guys! I have to admit... I prefer models to toys and I attribute it to my fondness for authenticity (appearancewise and not functionality). With that said, I just wanted to share with you my collection of completed models, some of which I built myself but others were purchased or commissioned. I also have a couple of more models on their way, including the YF-21/VF-22 battroid that I am working on and an Elint-Seeker that I just won in an auction. I hope you like them. And below are a few CM character figures I've collected. And for those smaller scale fans out there, below are the Chara-Works and Bandai figures for valks, battroids and a destroid tomahawk. Quote
mojacko Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 that is one Cool Model collection you got there!!! Quote
warpaint22 Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Awesome collection Valkyrie13, some really nice models. i like the VF-0D in gerwalk that looks really cool. Thanks for sharing your collection. Quote
valkyrie13 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 Thank you all for the compliments. I am waiting for more resin kits, too. Well, the YF-21/VF-22 conversion is a part resin kit and I have the Lancer II and another Club-M recast VF-4 in the works (which is currently on hold). The next project will be a scratchbuild of a VF-X-4 (not VF-4) using a VF-1 kit and a SHE recast VF-4 kit (from Valk009). Working on some research since I can't build or paint anything this week. I also have most of the Moscato Kits and will be building one soon. Quote
misterryno Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 valkyrie13, WOW!!! What an AMAZING collection. This just makes me want to get REALLY good at modeling myself. THANKS for the inspiration. Quote
wm cheng Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Thanks for sharing! Very nice collection. A question, what are those plexiglas covered display cases? I've been looking for something to cover my Valks for a long time, but never found anything that would fit aircrafft, most of the cases I've seen are for model cars and are shaped like rectangular shoeboxes.

Ghostkiller Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 very impressive thks for sharing !!!!!!! Quote

JLYC Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 SHE 1/100 VF-4G? when did Andy recast it? there was indeed a recast VF-4 from SHE sometime ago. i bought one off a guy on another forum last week. Quote

Thanks. The ones covering the YF-19/YF-21 and the two M&M VF-22Ss are the Tamiya Display Cases. I believe they were originally produced with the 1/32 or 1/48 aircraft models in mind but these will fit two 1/72 Hasegawas just fine. The one on the left covering the VF-0S is a custom built acrylic case. You can find them for a reasonable price here in Asia. Quote
valkyrie13 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Posted February 5, 2008 there was indeed a recast VF-4 from SHE sometime ago. i bought one off a guy on another forum last week. There is also a thread with a build-up of this kit on MW somewhere... Quote
MechTech Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Nice collection and work! I hope to be able to get a display case someday myself! - MT Quote
Mechleader Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very good skills!!!!! Quote
big F Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Nice collection you have there. I also like the clear cases you have for your collection. I have tried and tried to find a decent supplier in the UK for them so I can put some of my collection in them. Even though its all in a display cabinet it still gets a little dust in there and I hate cleaning the models as I so scared I'll break something. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 wow!! really good stuff!! mad skills and display, you have got us all worked up and envious, keep it up, can't wait to see your current projects finished haha Quote
sahir Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 super nice job... really liked the VF-0D.. Quote
valkyrie13 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Posted February 6, 2008 Thank you all again. Like I said, some of them were purchased or commissioned and the VF-0D was the one I won off of Yahoo Auction Japan. I really like the finish on this model and it actually looks better in real life. Quote
Isamu test pilot Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Man, you have a great collection Quote
VF-25 Angelus Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 That collection makes mine look like a kids closet. Very nice! Quote
