Angesdad Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) No dust resides in the hangar above no sir. That is a nice a shot! While you're at it @Saburo, you should invest in some maintenance crew & misc equipment and have them blurred out in your shots to give depth with main focus on your Valk btw, I looked into the hangar set and man it ain't cheap!

I bought some makeup brushes to clear dust off figures. 3 hours ago, Angesdad said: No dust resides in the hangar above no sir. That is a nice a shot!

I make sure to wipe down the hangar to minimize the amount of clean up during photo processing. I do have some maintenance crew & equipment but I haven't had a chance to paint the crew figures yet.

Kanedas Bike Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 @Saburo pics and posts FOR THE WIN! Always makes me want to admire my collection or look for new items to buy. Willing to bet no one here has helped sell more toys than the Super Dimensional Enabler. I might even buy Matchbox cars if he posted pics of them -b.

Chronocidal Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 So, I don't know if anyone really likes using the fancy Roy/Hikaru stands for mounting their super packed VF-1s, but I would rather heavily advise against it. That's what you call the plastic trying to shatter. The foggy bits near the surface on that end-on pic show how deep the cracks are, and some of them are nearly halfway through. Also note, I didn't even have the valk mounted on the stand for more than a few hours. The stand has been sitting assembled and unused for the past week, and I just picked it up to look at it, and saw this. As ugly as Bandai's big honking stands are, at least the black ones don't seem to have all of the usual fragile tendencies you see with clear plastic.

I had some explaining to do. They do work well. I did grab it form a big set of brushes she has, so it won't really be missed. And they do work fantastic (including on all my little gashapon Yamato ships). It would take some explaining on why I have it now. It's bad enough that she jokingly calls them my "dolls". And that when I have had armor parts arrive I then joked that I bought "clothes for my dolls". I don't think she'd let me live it down that I'm now using a makeup brush on them.

My wife rolls her eyes when a Macross package shows up and asks, "is this a new big piece of really expensive plastic from Japan or a new small piece to attach to a big piece you already have?" I ended up buying a set with brushes of different shapes and sizes. Great for getting into all the nooks and crannies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
