Swooshiex Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 How big is a 1/250 SDF-1 in real dimensions? I'm wondering if it can fit into a study room for display purposes, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 At 1/250 scale, it would be 4.84 m or so in cruiser mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 At 1/250 scale, it would be 4.84 m or so in cruiser mode. For some perspective, that's within an inch of the length of a Honda Accord sedan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Bigger is better with the SDF-1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptormesh Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 The Quarter would be more feasible unless you live in a mansion then by all means do eeetttt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullmilitia Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Come on Arcadia, where's my 1/60 web exclusive?!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-19 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Personally, I would have it in 1:350 scale. This way you can display it, in scale, with other 1:350 subjects! It would make for a sweet display showing the SDF-1 with battleships, other sci-fi space ships (polar light Enterprises, I'm looking at you) etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Now that I think about it, considering that they've built a 1:1 scale VF-25 and a 1:1 scale VF-1 cockpit, a 10~20 foot long SDF-1 model would be both really cool and make perfect sense as the next big museum installation they do for macross.

peter Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) Large scale vessels are definitely possible....1/10 scale Yamato and other smaller variations of IJN Yamato and Uchuu Senkan Yamato. The problem is there's way more of a following for Yamato than there is for Macross and the SDF1 While I found it nice that someone put the effort into building a 1/1 scale cockpit of the VF-1, I found it sad that it was only the cockpit, when compared to the likes of the half body of the VF-25, and the complete replica of the Gundam in Odaiba. Here's to hoping that a complete Valk might be built someday Edited July 15, 2013 by peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swooshiex Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 thank you all for the fast replies! a bed is about 2 meters long. sounds like 4.84 meters is possible to fit into a huge bedroom or a living room. i'm doubtful that bandai/arcadia will ever mass produce one though. it's probably difficult for them to make a profit on it. i'm tempted to custom make one. hopefully it's possibly to find someone in china to make one for three figures $$$, at most four $$$$. yeah, it'll be super cool to see a super huge one in a macross museum, hopefully a 1/60. i'm thinking of 1/250 because bandai already produced decent quality 1/250 valks previously. it'll be so nice to display the valks flying beside/around the SDF-1. i'll be very keen to have a 1/250 Macross Quarter too!
