I haven't bought Macross toys in ages... but looking for characters for a Transformers photocomic I do, I rediscovered it. With a couple new arrivals having shown up, I thought I'd share:

better yet, a 1/60 VB-6

That would be EPIC in size, weight, gimmicks, price, cost of shipping, tentency for stressing/looseness of joints, shelf -- heck, room corner -- hogging presence!... Bring it! ^_^

I posted the start of my work desktop fighter squadron a while back and said I planned to expand it. Well I have and I've gone from 3 fighters to um... lots (16).

man it would be awesome. The bandai monster is shy of 1/100 i think by just a touch (yamato's is larger and is listed as a 1/100)...i can't imagine how awesome a 1/60 would be. it'd obviously need some heavy duty joints etc. shelf presence would be awesome.

I cobbled together some chain bases I purchased from Skullmilitia recently........they look small separately, but bulk-up pretty good when combined to accommodate the 1/60 VFs....

Wow, amazing display, congratulations!

Your hanger display looks great!

Yeah, really cool!

Wow, amazing display, congratulations!

Thanks!

I was trying to go for the crowded carrier hangar bay look like depicted in these pics....

The first picture is what immediately came to mind when I say your display. I like that you took the picture through the gantry in order to evoke that cramped feeling.

that display is sick!
I wanted to get some chain bases myself for a different project (ThreeA's Metal Gear Rex), but the costs of getting so many can be a bit prohibitive.
Wish I had the space to do diorama displays like these.

I think the second and third from the last look the most like there is an actual starfield outside the hangar. Nice shots!

Agreed....plain space full of stars works the best....was trying to get one with a small bit of the earth or planet...but couldn't find one that I liked....

Is there a hold in the deck to space?

Did you mean "hole"?

yeah....I was going for the fighter bay area of something like the Prometheus looking out into space.....like near an elevator or deployment area...

This was my inspiration......a couple of my favorite Macross ilustrations of all time....
