Hi everyone, its been a while.  I have been doing my own models since Bandai stop making them.  It has not been easy and results have not been the desires ones but I am for the most part pleased.  I made 1/250 scale for the  Sv-262, the VF-2SS with armor, the drone for the VF-0 and the YF-30.  Just need to make the VF-31 and I will feel complete.  These are made either with PVC plastic or hardening Clay.  

Did you scratch build everything with modelling clay or was the clay used in modify existing valks? awesome works!

Thanks everyone.

The clay was used on smaller parts.  The armor for the VF-2SS was made in parts and the clay was used.  The drones of the Sv-262 and the VF-0 are also made of clay.  The wings on the drones where made with the plastic used for packages like batteries or strawberries. I found it easier to take a pice slightly bigger than what I needed, baked it and then with a X-acto knife carve away once it was hardened.  The clay is really messy uncooked and can easily get out of shape while handling it. The YF-30 and the Sv-262 were made of a pice of PVC panel (3/4 inch) I think.  Also used the X-acto knife.  That knife is very sharp, I recommend great caution when using it and always make cuts away from you or any part of the body.

Decided to take my Macross Fighter Collection 1/250 scale fighters out of storage today and give then a clean and play with them for a while.

Haven't touched them in 7 or 8 years. 😅

I no longer have the stands, I got rid of them to save space when I packed the toys away.

Bummer, I'm missing more than I'd realized. 😐

Thanks for the checklist. ☺️

[Mommar]

These are just the fighters, right?  Not those other Gashapon ones?

[jenius]

Yep, just fighters.

[Mommar]

I never could track down any of these.

damn, that's a whole fleet, you can supply a private war Berger Stone style.

Wish the latter series were a bit easier to find. I have series 1, plus 2 sealed boxed, but couldn't find much for the rest.
