Hope this will suffice for now. 

I will be displaying these and more at SDCon in October.  You should all come out and enjoy and support this time honored event.

For the fans by the fans.

Dear lord that is an absolutely stunning custom collection you have there! 

[derex3592]

It's the Angel Bird custom super/strike parts that DO IT for me...Would love to see them actually on the Valk!

Thanks man. Actually a huge thanks goes out to the original commissioner of these beautiful birds.

Thanks Fearyaks.

I was just lucky enough to spot the sale and grab all of them at once.

You’ll see more after the Super Dimension Convention.

Does anyone happen to know what part of a Yamato 1/48 Valkyrie this part is? I found it in a box and wanted to check w the experts. Thanks.

[borgified]

That's an easy one @Chokinzoku81! 

It's a backpack hinge and used to connect the tail end of the two rear wings up flush into battriod's spine assembly. Even the 1/60 Yamacadias has it also.    

[Chokinzoku81]

Thanks @borgified!!! Now to go pop it back on - appreciate the fast help !

[Chokinzoku81]

@borgified - I watched the @jenius video on how to transform the 1/48 Yamato and I still can’t see where it’s located. When u get a spare minute, do you mind posting a pic? 

[Chokinzoku81]

Found it!

Excellent set of customs!

Love it!! Can't decide which one I like better. 

By the way, a seller on Ebay 2 days ago had a Yamato 1/48 VF-1D w/custom Fast Packs made by Kurt... who here went for it?

It’s here. Plus a 1/60 Evo Toys VF-2SS for far  less than discount price that I consider basically free.

Now that is a beautiful sight, the VF-1D is the highlight & the Armor is the ultimate bonus. Glad it went to a good home!

Thanks to Bandai, 1/48 is also the old/new hotness!

All you need is a Hikaru & Minmay figure & that 1D is complete for a TV series display.

Love those customs @nightmareB4macross. Man, the Yamato 1/48 VF-1 days were like the golden age of customs. There were many good ones back then. I especially liked Kurt's custom VF-1s, which you seem to have managed to get a hold of. 

Wish people were still doing them, but it seems quite rare to see a new custom in general these days... or I just haven't paid enough attention.

Yeah, customs aren’t as abundant as they used to be.

Getting Kurt and Jung customs amongst many others in various scales has been a walk through memory lane. I am just fortunate enough to be able to track and acquire them. 
 

Personally and not to open a a debate with anyone, I’m still infatuated with the Yamato 1/48. They is just so much that can be done with these. I have a few customs yet to complete, but slowly getting there. One day, I’ll be done and getting there will be have the enjoyment I get from getting there.

Well, onto collecting.

I love the Yamato 1/48s. The decos they had and simple, but perfect transformation make them irreplaceable to this day.

I couldn't agree with you guys more!

[derex3592]

I just wish before Yamato went belly up, back when they were cranking out a Valk a week or so it seemed for a while, they would have done all the 1:48's schemes in 1:60V2. Man, that would have been so awesome...

^ Agreed. Would have loved to get a low-viz valk at 1/60 v2 scale.

They did, just not the one you were looking for.

The VF-1D looks great as well those customs figures (Hikaru/Minmay), are those from EXO? 

Also, that Digital Camo strike VF looks intriguing.

Well, here goes.

That looks awesome!!

I think we've seen bits and pics here and there.  But never a full set @nightmareB4macross.  Awesome work pulling off that custom.

I do miss the good ol' days when people were customizing Valks like crazy.  For all the advances that have happened in the past decade, we're still dealing with annoying limitations with white-backed decals and stickers.

I also suspect life and family responsibilities have cut into our customizing free time.
