ron5864 Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 Alright...I thought of building a Arii's 1/5000 SDF-1 Storm Attacker model kit for the MacrossCon10 in Los Angeles this year. Then I thought of putting it in a Lake Global, like in the TV series after that epic battle with Boddole's Zentraedi fleet. And then it got out of hand when I decided to build a miniature Macross City around it.... This diorama is about 85% complete with more parts of the city to be added. And it will probably be at the Con in October. More photos of it later on. Quote

Black Valkyrie Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 WOW, thats some very nice work you've done. Excellent. Quote
Mog Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 It's purty!! You weren't kidding about things getting out of hand with the surrounding city. Are you planning to add any other details to the Macross itself, like all those wires and cables that connected it to the city? Very nice work indeed!! Quote
tundrayeti Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Well there's something you don't see a lot of!!! Very well done! Quote

claude grant Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 As always, just truly exceptional work. You always pick the most interesting dioramas to bless us with. Quote
GU-11 Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Wow, that's an elaborate diorama if I ever saw one. That is one epic classic Macross moment frozen in plastic. Excellent job! Quote
miriya Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 I dont know how I missed this thread! Amazing work Ron. I am very much looking forward to seeing it in person at the convention! Quote
Mark Warlock Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Ron5864 Very nicely done. Great work and the surrounding city looks like it's right out of one of the art books. Quote
Sam Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Wow mate, thats awesome stuff! if only u could stick some little pin prick lights to shine outta the macross that would prob be overkill, but this is great stuff ! Quote
ron5864 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Posted August 13, 2010 Thanks everyone. I am still working on it and hopefully can post some update photos in a few weeks. A brief history....I did built the Macross City with the SDF-1 on the island a couple of years ago. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?app=gallery&module=images§ion=viewimage&img=1022 I did planned on bringing it to MacrossCon09 but it was purchased by another Macrossworld member before the Con. This time however, this diorama will be at the Con10. Quote
derex3592 Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 BOTH of those are completely 110% AWESOMENESS!!!!! Quote
mrhillz Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Wow, really nice! Where's the SDF-2 behind it though? *ducks because I doubt people would take the joke lightly* Quote
orguss01 Posted September 2, 2010 Posted September 2, 2010 I did planned on bringing it to MacrossCon09 but it was purchased by another Macrossworld member before the Con. And he didn't allow it to be viewed @ Con ...shame...... Killer work...very nice.. Quote
ron5864 Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 Finally finished..Whew! It took a while to finish outskirts of the city. Here are some pix. A couple of references to another 80's anime in this photo. (Hint: Buildings on the left) Bridge view. Left side. Now I can move on to other projects.... Quote
EXO Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Awesome! But oh no here comes Quamjin with his giant cruiser! BRKKKKHHHH!!!! BOOM! CHHHKKKKKWWWW!!!! RAAAWR! Gojira! Run!!! Space bugs! nom nom nom! ooops... Quote

Million Star Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 very nice. Now you can start adding 1/5000 characters, christmas cakes, posters, sempai helmets, tax returns and spare change etc to really bring the city to life. Good luck. Quote
MechTech Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 Wow!!! I haven't been able to get on here lately, but this helps make up for it! Excellent work Ron! I can still se my house from here! - MT Quote
