Do you have a 1/100 diorama?

It's closer to 1:150, actually.

Now, if you shoot another with some Regults... would be awesum!

Well, I don't have as many Regults as sh9000 (nobody has as many Regults as sh9000!), but I did what I could:

I saw one of these pics somewhere before! i could not remember who it belonged to. I was not on the HMR train back then. I have been looking at 1/100 buildings, but those 1/150 look pretty amazing, and imho animation accurate! I also hear the HO Locomotive scale is about 1/89. A building or two, a few trees, would really bring up a dispplay.

That is an amazing diorama sir. I am no expert, but i love it. One thing that boggling my mind is: How BIG is that Godzilla!!???

I love those Macross shots, wow! :hi:

I spy a Jabba's Barge , and the Jango's big Slave ship, very cool!

I wish i had the Boba's big Slave 1 in my collection.

I hope it will be, once it's completed... eventually...  :unsure:

Well, not quite big enough to scale with Hi-Metal R...

...or even intimidate Minmay, it would seem.  :huh:

It's an awesome piece...  :wub:

...but with your skills, I'm sure you could make it look even better.  :good:

Lol Godzilla looks so excited to meet Minmei, hilarious. Or is She flashing him? 

OH you are too kind, I am not nearly as good as real modelers. Your photos are impeccable. Do you have a bendable high reflective material for your backgrounds? Like for the Slave 1 background? Just great work. Yeah, i would weather this Slave 1 a bit, just because I am OCD at times. With that said, the stock paint job is very cool. I am not sure I will ever get one, and I am pretty complete in my Ship collection. Not top of mind right now. i do love it though, it is such a crazy ship.

@tekering TY!

@sh9000 what paints did you use for your mass prod 1j, and your max & milia touch-ups?

I've got a 1J here that took an unfortunate fall, broke the tailfins, and I was thinking to just take it apart for a display. But that means I've got a 1J head I could repaint and pop on a 1A. ;)

^ ^ ^ Very cool ^ ^ ^ 

I suggest the poster edges filter, to make it look more cartoony or comic book like.

Heh, I know sarcasm is hard to convey on the internet.  I was trying to make an intentionally bad/goofy version of it (hence the multi-colored comic sans).  Glad you enjoyed it either way.

:good:

Miss Cat has been on the racy side lately.  I think the heat is getting to her.  Someone seriously needs to get her some ice cream, chocolate or both.

No, I use a glass table with black velvet under it.  If the angle's low enough, it seamlessly reflects the photo paper on the wall behind it.

Yeah SH9000 has done a great job the Brownie 1J, and others.

Now you can make a broken/damaged 1A brownie too, very cool.

Super chocolate is what Shizuka likes.

So all we see in the background is the glass table? Wow, it must be a mile long, lol.

Sorry I've been posting a lot, but man. Tekerin's room just blew my head off. Kinda the same effect happens when i see SH9000 HMR's collection.

Your 3.75 collection is insane. Which one would you say is the best/definitive X-wing to have?

@tekering is that Kotobukiya's Type 92 Maser Tank kit? I've got one of those sitting here, I was looking for armor for a 1/144 Gundam urban combat diorama and it seemed a perfect fit. Haven't put it together yet. I've got the two 08th MS "ground war" kits since they're in same scale.

I keep checking to see if other sci-fi / military stuff has been done in 1/144. I've got a Yukikaze kit in 1/144, and Kotobukiya also has the XFA-27 kit that would look good with it; there's even Hasegawa's 1/144 Ultra Hawk which would make a great shuttle for a couple of GMs to escort, but sci-fi tanks aren't very popular it seems, in any scale.

HMR is closer to 1/90 or 1/100 though... something like this might look neat alongside a Monster:

Love the custom armored parts!

HmR with FEXT looks great!

You’ve captured some icon images here, great job! In particular I really like Hikaru’s VF-1A pose from DYRL, I can hear the sound of breaking glass and Missa yelling at him, lol..

That brownie GBP is really cool SH9000! Well, everything is. Kickass collection man!

Thanks @Bolt and @vlenhoff!

I would take so many pics of my HMR with that city diorama.

@tekering

Apologies if you've already gone over this - but I'm going to be getting some extra space in a new house and I'd like to get some glass display cases (perhaps with lighting) - where did you get yours?

Also, is that diorama completely custom?  That looks freaking amazing....

I've gotten showcases from stores that have gone out of business, from local used furniture places, even rescued a couple that I found abandoned...  Always be on the lookout!

The base and streets are all scratch-built:

The buildings are mostly pre-painted Japanese kits.

As if the wall displays are not epic enough, the diorama in the center of room takes the cake. And Godzilla is the icing on it. What an inspiration!! :hail:

I want to know how Godzilla got between all those buildings without damaging any. :p

So glad you pointed that out. :hi:
