Yep! Can you guess what’s in the even bigger box it’s sitting on?:D

Nice! Is that all your Macross or just what you have set aside there?

Selling? Well I’m interested in the Low Vis 1/48!

Edit: actually interested in the stealth full pack 1/48 and Yamato fold booster.

Shoot, except for the low vis! So sorry!

The armored stealth under it is for sale though!

I wasn't planning on selling any of these, but the current covid situation, made me change my mind. i don't think i'd get mutch for the ver 1 1/60, but at least someone will display them properly.

Haha, smart move not to sell that low vis. I’ll PM you about the other two. Thanks!

Expand  

Yeah, that one i have transformed, and i carefully applied some stickers on it. I am still sad i could not buy Graham's back then. I would have two now :(

[EDIT IN] : What is the Falcon sitting on? 

So sorry gents, i didn't mean to hijack the thread. Back to DX VF-1 news.

Kinda right @crackpot It's the Sail Barge.

Sorry about the detour, I will get some OT pics to share here someday soon hopefully.

Yeah Maximum visibility indeed. My Macross kite sticker is actually just static, not glued. I do prefer it in the interior, as it is protected from the elements. Plus i do prefer how understated it is with the dark tint. I would def use one of your skull 001 stickers inside if it was inverted. Glued is ok, since i plan on keeping this car until it dies. Then i'll fit another boxer engine in there, and drive it some more. :crazy:

Expand  

I don't think it would be too hard to remove the sticker if you needed to, but you definitely wouldn't be able to use it again. Sounds like there might be some interest in making these and maybe some other things. Wasn't my original plan, just trying to broaden my printing capabilities for some personal projects and thought putting a Skull Squadron logo on my car would be fun, but happy to help the MW community.

Same, I would love some decals for the car.

Expand  

Something like this? I could also bring back the SDF-1 silhouettes that a member made into window decals almost 20 years ago (can't recall who that was). Just found the same (or really similar) artwork online. Had the left one on my car for a long time. This vinyl cutter is just too much fun to play with--now that I know how to drive it. And there's apparently a rainbow of color options for the vinyl itself. (Realizing this is a bit OT...)

I'm still waiting for the Jolly Roger decal to dry and then dullcoat (thanks Anasazi37 !), but I don't recall seeing any pics of Hikaru's 1S with black heatshield/fastpack symbols. I know red is supposed to be official, but something about that black heatshield brings back those same feelings I had when I first laid eyes on the 1/55 strike valkyrie box art as a kid.

I really like the skull 001 logo, but if i can use it inside [inverted or mirrored?] Since it is basically an outline, it wont block visibility on the right side rear triangular window. I for one, i am interested @Anasazi37. I also have an unused static kite sticker from back then, but i am afraid to let it go.

Sorry, no DX VF-1 news today!  :p

That DYRL Kakizaki looks great, but i want to keep it MAcross TV, and save some money. I did have to get the DX DYRL 1S Hikaru.... It is a soft spot of mine.

Ohh yes I really like the sdf-1 silhouettes.  I think personally for me I would like a red kite logo.

My goal would be to help out a small number of fans, at the cost of materials and shipping. :D

Is that your 1S with the skull already applied?

Mirroring wouldn't be hard. Would it work better for you if it was an outline (hollow) instead of solid?

I think it would be fun to bring those back. I'm trying to track down some other silhouettes that might be interesting. There are so many iconic images to choose from....

Expand  

That's a good size. The skull on my car is 4". Just large enough to be noticeable outside without creating a visibility issue inside. I can't even see it in my rearview mirror.

Yeah- the advantage of it being online is I know it won't be lost if my harddrive goes (or I lose my phone data if I took picts with my phone). Not a thought I relish, but something I keep in mind (especially since I have a lot of old games that are just lots of paper and cardboard).

No, that exact skull 001 you you applied on the window of your black car, just mirrored, so it can be applied from the inside. My current kite sticker is 4.45 inches in diameter. How wide is your sticker? If it is 4.45 inches wide in diameter, or less, it would be perfect.

Expand  

Its current size is 4" high by 3" wide. That can easily be changed, larger or smaller, but the proportions would have to be maintained.

You might have missed it, but I posted my black-heatshield Hikaru-1S back on June-14 both here and in the scale-thread:

Nice! The glossy look is even more chunky-esque. Is that heatshield from a Yamato?
