Mog Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 There’s a few other threads down in The Workshop section showing off mods to other custom SDF-1’s: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/forum/23-the-workshop/ There’s also @nightmareB4macross’s “customized to the hilt” version: He gave a ton of tips on how to add more articulation and features to the old toy. I had a few mistakes here and there, but the final product came out pretty good: It helps that the one I bought off of eBay had busted shoulders out of the box. Gave me the incentive to fix her up.

vlenhoff Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Oh my goodness! Thanks guys! That is definitely a labor of work. If I ever do something to it, would be a paintjob, and some detailed illustrative "panel" work. Great Job @tekering! Quote

They're actually quite big at 1/72 because the Tomcat is such a big plane. It's bigger than a 1/60 VF-1 by quite a bit. It will probably look ok in there. Quote

Grey728 Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Just got my first Detolf and light kit and now my hobby is starting to leak into other parts of my condo. I still have to clean it up a bit. Quote

I was worried about that too. I haven't touched it much since I placed it on my yeti stand but I made sure most of the weight was supported and off the joints. I think only the arms could potentially get loose now. I'll need to get the support arms out of storage but have been too lazy to make a trip. Quote

sqidd Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 @Rogueload dropped by today with the X-9 he built for me (thanks!!!!) and picked up a VF-0A w/ Ghost I sourced for him. So, the Plus shelves (Yeah, I know the Advanced is Frontier) got a little re-organizing. Pretty good for a quick first draft. I'm going to need to spend some time staring at it before I figure out what I really want to do. Quote
DYRL VF-1S Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Constantly changing these two displays but here’s the current iteration: Quote
