Boobytrap Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Wow! That display even managed to make the Toynami valks look good. Quite an impressive feat. Quote
Mommar Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 I'm two new keys away from actually having a proper display to show off in this thread. Now I can actually unlock the glass on the cabinets. Quote

dragonstar1982 Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 That's the vf-1r from the robotech mpc... the black sheep of the collection lol Quote

raptormesh Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) This thread is sorely lacking the best bird . Seriously though having downsized a few times the past few years due to multiple moves/(single)marriage all your photos are hitting me with waves of nostalgia. My only display at the moment is at my work desk, but I'm still happy I get to pair up (undoubtedly) the best android and (arguably) the best valk! And to think I used to have a dozen of VF-22S!

All with backgrounds applied to the back. I didn't know I could get a boner for Macross toys until you posted this collection....thank you. Quote

CIG did a run of them a few years ago; I want to say they made a couple thousand of them. Given how poorly they sold I would be surprised if they ever did another run or any other models, if I remember correctly they ended up selling the last few hundred at cost just to get rid of them Quote

spanner Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 After thinning away several duplicate items, a display clean and reshuffle AND some new LED lighting!, I thought I'd share some pics! Quote

Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing! How are the LEDs setup? Just along the front shooting straight in towards the case or are they angled? Also, just the light in front or are there others? It's hard to tell with the reflections. Thanks! Quote
spanner Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Vertically full length facing rearward and a strip along the top. Pretty simply actually. Same as before but now physically longer strips with brighter whiter light. Also got the waterproof strips this time as the clear domed coating helps disperse the light better. The low power setting is now almost as bright as the high power setting from the old LEDs! Full brightness is crazy now! These photos were taken with the medium setting. Quote

Looks really good and how I want to setup my cases but there is not a lot of space between the shelf and doors..need to find very thin led strips. Quote

You've done a single vertical strip running down the front right hand side? I've been considering getting a pair to run then down the front two corners and shine them inward style of lighting on my cabinet. Quote

Looking forward to having your drone fighter on display in there too! Quote
Lolicon Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Very nice, spanner! I might have to redo my cases to be more like yours! Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Awesome display Spanner!!! Love the arrangement very classy. Quote
sh9000 Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Excellent displays spanner! Your displays were originally the reason I switched back over to stay on this awesome Macross forum permanently. Here's an update to my 1/60 display. It has everything I wanted to put in one detolf. Edited July 18, 2017 by sh9000 Quote
