Nice to see the 1/60 destroids. I kick myself for not trying harder to get that Rifleman Defender when it was still MSRP Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Not so much showing off my collection as I am showing what most of my collection will be in. I put together my new display case recently and did the lighting earlier this Saturday using a 16ft LED light strip . It was a pain in the butt putting the case together but I think it looks pretty nice and with a little more work, I think I will be able to dust proof it or at least make it harder for dust to get in. I'm still trying to figure out how to lay things out, but I stuck a bunch of stuff in to see how much I could fit. It definitely gave me more room to work with not having wasted space between three separate Detolfs. Unfortunately, I still can't fit everything in there. I'm hoping the YetiStand Detolf mounts will give me more to work with as well as some use of fishing line. And yes... There's masking tape all over the VF-0's and the 0A looks funny because I had just re-painted the blue parts to a more proper gray while waiting for a couple VF-171EX's to dry in the dining room.

I already have the wave 1/72 tomahawk but now i feel like getting the defender and phalanx kits too to mimic ur destroid display with valks in the foreground..... Quote

Just a quick and dirty job with some Pro Modeler's wash and Tamiya weathering kit. I was experimenting with the special Tamiya applicator sponge. Probably won't bother doing that to the rest of Delta Squadron (at least not anytime soon) because it's too much hassle taking anything apart. It's a little unsettling to wedge screwdriver and pry something open with an audible crack. I will paint in the shoulder sensors on all my 31s though, because it looks so off without them. Like seeing the VF-1 with just a blank spot where the shoulder sensors should be. 7 minutes ago, spanner said: Lolicon? Your battroid looks kinda short. Quote

Lolicon Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 From left to right: Blue Steel, Ferrari, and Le Tigre. Quote
sh9000 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 My MIB 1/55 Reissue collection. Even then I was buying multiple CF's. Oh and one was carefully opened and has a custom painted CF VF-1J head. Quote
jvmacross Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 I'd buy re-issues of the Elintseeker and Super Ostrich Quote
Slave IV Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Awesome! I have never even seen 1/55 M&M's anywhere. Quote

LOL I was afraid some of you young whippersnappers wouldn't get the reference. Glad I was wrong. For some reason the 31J's "face" made me think of Ben Stiller in that movie. 1 hour ago, no3Ljm said: You guys and your multiple 31J's. Hahaha!

spanner Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 I have two ordered, but one is for Scream Man.. Quote
Lolicon Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Wow, Scream Man must have some very incriminating photos. Quote

(that's what my ex has) He does have to pay or trade me for it though! I wish I could but sadly im not able to be that generous and give away expensive toys such as Valkyries! LOL! Quote
spanner Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) my Russian Air Force Valkyrie! I had MWF member Lancelot custom build my VF-1S assembly kit in Russian Air Force colors similar to that of a Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker. We discussed possible paint schemes including existing VF-1 colors from the art books but nothing particularly jumped out at me. Then when I looked at a series of Su-27, 30, 33 & 35 photos I have scrolling on my desktop wallpaper it just hit me! We should do a Russian Air Force color scheme! Thus the idea was born! As far as I can tell no one else has ever done a VF-1 specifically like this so im proud to show of the end results! Somethings are a little different but overall its pretty much as close as it needs to be. Also you may notice the forward intake fan pieces were intentionally left off and the area behind painted black to give the impression of darker air intake path which I think worked out quite well! I absolutely dislike those awful fans! Personally I think it looks absolutely amazing and is a testament to the guys model building talents! I simply couldn't be happier! Thanks so much again buddy! Here are some photos for you to enjoy! I also included a photo of a Su-35 in the color scheme we based it off as a direct reference.. Let me know what you guys think!

Lolicon Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Hot damn that's one sexy bird! Transform it! Transform it! Quote
spanner Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks Lolicon! but I will be leaving it in fighter mode at least for now. The problem with painting these build kits is the tolerances become so much tighter than they already are and paint scratching and chipping occures extremely easily. Although I would love to see how it looks in its other modes but at this stage im just too scared to transform and damage it.. I though I'd also mention that the number 76 relates to my birth year.. It was going to be the same red on white as the real plane but it was too difficult to recreate the sticker to match so we just did the number in black which still looks good. And some Russian fighters do actually have the black numbers so it still is kinda correct to the real thing. Quote
enphily Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Very cool! I have unassembled VF-1D and i wanna paint it someday to YF-25 scheme, but sometimes i want some real scheme, like this Quote
chyll2 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) @spannerthat is some beauty, you really need two of those to display DO you know what type of paint Lancelot used? If it is lacquer-based, it will have resistance to chipping but I do understand why you are afraid on transforming it. @enphilyjust paint it with your favorite real-world livery or just go browse whatever looks cool for you. I really appreciate this Assembly kits and Arcadia made me hopeful on the Kit announcement for their RA parts Edited February 17, 2017 by chyll2 Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 @spanner that's a great scheme...really awesome. Quote
spanner Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 hehe! yeah I would love to have another one like this to go with it! perhaps a different air forces colors!? Makes me want to buy another assembly kit just for that purpose! sorry I don't know what paints he uses. I can ask him for you. Or you could just shoot him a quick pm. Quote
seti88 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 @spanner looks like max just got a little more competition for the blue in that cabinet space! Nice choice of scheme tho, that russian star is cool! Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Beautiful custom!! Very clean work!, love it Don't transform it, hehehe Quote
