The last pic of the underbelly is my favorite as it show the beautiful curve of the gullet. Amazing work as always. Happy to know you like it! No, I haven't considered creating a museum space for my collection. Haha. Though I think I need a bigger display cabinet. Well, I need an intact display case, period... Some years ago, one of the front sliding doors shattered into a million pieces from a bit of vibration, sending glass shards all over the room. That was fun... Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted August 24, 2022 Posted August 24, 2022 Hopefully, it me day you will get a cabinet that will accommodate your amazing skills and collection. Would you mind sharing a recent update of your displayed items. Always loved seeing your individual items, but I don’t recollect ever seeing group shots. Quote

Took a few pics in fighter mode. Will do the other modes later when the clear coat has dried more. Okay, I lied. Decided to YOLO and transform it anyway. Edited August 25, 2022 by MacrossJunkie Quote

Right now, they're scattered around in various detolfs around the house until I can find a new display cabinet and everything's a mess. This was the last one I had with the cabinet intact from years ago. I had some stuff to the side also, like my SDF-1 and I forget what else. Not only do I need to find a new case, I need to also figure out how to dispose of the old one. With the cost of shipping and gas these days, it will probably cost as much to ship a new display case... Quote

MKT Posted August 24, 2022 Posted August 24, 2022 @MacrossJunkie Great weathering on the Hayate VF-31AX, and always a pleasure to see Macross display set-ups.. Quote

Personally, I have been really tempted to get a PF and possibly just sell the standard one I have now due to the current conversion rate of US dollar to yen. I say go for it! Quote
Slave IV Posted September 11, 2022 Posted September 11, 2022 Is the PF readily available somewhere? I’m not planning on getting one but just curious because I didn’t think it was. Quote

Good job 👍 1 hour ago, treatment said: Lol! Fiddly as heck either way, but still much prefer it with the SAP on instead of without... Yeah, I have three HMR's. The Monster, Spartan, and the VF-2SS. The first two were pretty good. The latter was trash, imo. It felt so cheap and disappointing. I really regretted getting it. Even the SAP didn't save it for me. Quote

Too late for me, as I've stickered and weathered my 19P many years ago, but I really appreciate knowing that there are other decals sets out there beyond what's available on eBay. Quote

Is there something different/improved about the Arcadia version that makes the Yamato one merely a stand in? I haven't been paying much attention to the Tomahawk release, so I'm genuinely curious.

Other than the waist, it appears the joints in hips, ankles and feet have been tightened considerably. Pose-ability now greatly improved now without risk of toppling over like Yamato's. One of the chest cannons now have proper hole at the tip, matching the rest of them. Quote

Oddly enough, it seems that mine is still pretty tight and can be put into awkward positions on one foot. I'm a little tempted to get another one now that I think about it. The one I have was one of my starting weathering attempts and I'd like to see how much better I could do now. Quote

If Bandai is not going to continue their YF-21, I don't mind them doing the VF-2SS first. But keep it in scale with their DX VF-1's. Quote

I can't say it's one of my favorite designs, but I wouldn't mind a high quality version. It would probably require some ingenuity at least on the level of Sentinel's Legioss to get it to look right.
