Jefuemon Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Kicker, on your posters' pictures, why is everything mirrored? Quote

Kicker773 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Kicker, on your posters' pictures, why is everything mirrored? I was messing around with photobucket Quote
sreichma Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Don't know if anyone else has done this. I installed a UV filter on my detolfs because I don't have a room with no windows. You can see in this picture how everything is captured and reflected off the filter. If I shut the natural daylight LED's off in my room during the day, no sun makes it into the Detolfs. Very easy to install, just cut it to size, spray a mixture of soap and water on the glass and place it on. You can easily take them back off also if you want to remove them in order to clean the glass underneath, then just follow the same process to put them back on. Just wanted to share in case anyone was in my situation. Cost $27.99 on amazon. Edited January 28, 2013 by sreichma Quote
NightCastle Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) I second Benson13's question. Also, interesting placement of the TV. Do yo have sunglasses for your viewers with the same coating so that the TV can be watched during the day? Edited January 28, 2013 by NightCastle Quote
sreichma Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Attached, you can see where the filter ends (yellow arrow). I think I should be ok with the TV, my desk is directly behind me in the photos (looking at both windows) and the blinds with the curtains capture the sun pretty well, so much so that they kinda glow. Reality is, I'd likley be looking at the painting more than the T.V. Edited January 28, 2013 by sreichma Quote
Kicker773 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Why not move two detolfs where the tv is.. and keep two with the tv in between on that wall. Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Porn will fix that issue LOL. LMAO it definitely will! Quote
sreichma Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I thought of that Kicker. With me, the room is really for my display and I'd rather have them all together, TV is secondary, if it even stays. I may put my books/journals/papers in between the windows and keep it a study. I really just need a millionaire boss with a penthouse and lab on a rolling semi like knight rider. The painting is kinda like porn. Quote
Kicker773 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 or you could switch to curtains and keep one window covered at all times. Quote
UN Spacy Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Nifty idea..using the pamphlet that came with the VF-17. Quote
ErikElvis Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I was thinking of adding a uv film directly to my windows. I believe you can get a clear that just blocks UV. Quote
CoreyD Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Just so you know, guys, UV filters provide some protection against fading, but light damage still happens. It's mostly a case of light intensity and duration, which is measured in lux/1 lumen per square meter. Light damage is cumulative and irreversible. This sort of stuff is my job, so more fyi reading http://www.conservationphysics.org/fading/light_i.php Quote
Kicker773 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 So yes... its better to play in the dark Quote
Valkyrie Magnus Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 The blinds in my display room are always down and I always close the door. Darkness rules to keep my toys undamaged Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 poached like a bird ....making use of the Mac7 DvDs Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) and its the Mac7 Dynamite 7 DvD to go with the valk LOL Edited February 2, 2013 by Kicker773 Quote
arrow Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 your displays keep getting better kicker. Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 thanks man.. making use of the dvd's now in the displays. Incorporating them. I go the Blu Rays on the next shelf next to Basara's valk Quote
Mr Frosty Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 fighter love What is the plane second from the top left corner? Is it "toy" or a model? And where can i get one Quote
Matrix Soul Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 What is the plane second from the top left corner? Is it "toy" or a model? And where can i get one That's the VF-0D upgrade kit from Kurisama, the same guy doing the VF-4G head kit Quote
mojacko Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I was thinking of adding a uv film directly to my windows. I believe you can get a clear that just blocks UV. i would suggest the same thing rather than putting UV in every detolf..... Quote
wm cheng Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Finally I can make my humble contribution. Spent nearly a full week dusting - man that crap is hard to get off after 10yrs! Then some time repairing some of the damage that occurred from the dusting (inevitably for models). I finally got them all under glass now - hopefully I won't have to dust again for a while. My collection has slowly shifted from models to toys as I have less and less time to build. Thanks for looking. Quote
caslon Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Wow!! Your collection is well-organised! Excellent! Quote
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Well, just as long as you don't start calling any of them "my precious" (except for the VF-4G). Quote
DarrinG Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Speaking of the VF-4G -- one thing on one shelf, can't beat the way that looks... Quote
Major Tom Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Hey WMC, I guess we think alike. I have my detolf attached and Macross display on one shelf Quote
wm cheng Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Speaking of the VF-4G -- one thing on one shelf, can't beat the way that looks... I wished I had the room for that kind of display, the single item per shelf does give it an air of museum quality. Quote

Being lookin for those things everywhere. HLJ have some but too small. Quote
wm cheng Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 This is perfect fit for the SV-51 http://www.hlj.com/product/YLSPPC-KN13 This is a perfect fit for the Bandai Andromeda http://www.hlj.com/product/YLSPPC-KN14CL The only thing is that the clear walls are flexible vinyl, but they hold their shape really well - but for some reason (maybe during shipping which is very expensive to ship an oversized flat parcel to North America only via EMS) they became statically charged and now attracts a lot of dust to the clear walls. I have to try to find some sort of static spray to treat them, but I suppose they will loose their charge over time. Quote
