Just haven't gotten around to listing them yet. Both the Kaiyodo/Movic ones (full series 1&2), and some Bandai Fighter Collection stuff. Edited February 26, 2019 by Sanity is Optional Quote

Appreciate all the guidance through this Macross awesomeness! Quote
spacemanspiff Posted February 28, 2019 Author Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) So this beaut showed-up today. I'm impressed, but wish it was bigger (I think my wife said the same thing to me). The detail is amazing! Just Amazing! This is the 1/3000 scale SDF-1 Macross Premuim Finish perfect transformation toy/piece. I haven't even transofrmed it yet, I just enjoy looking at it! You can too: Edited February 28, 2019 by spacemanspiff Quote
spacemanspiff Posted March 1, 2019 Author Posted March 1, 2019 I tried a quick LED light to battery mod to get some lights inside the windows (literally 3 batteries connected to an LED bulb): Quote

spacemanspiff Posted March 4, 2019 Author Posted March 4, 2019 I finally transformed this beast! Very intuitive, but tricky with the thin shoulder canons and bridge antenna. Also, started adding all the screw covers. They really add some nice detail to an already great piece. The 1/250 figters are a bit too big on the SDF-1 (as expected), but they'll make a nice addition to the display area. Quote

spacemanspiff Posted March 6, 2019 Author Posted March 6, 2019 After some fun research and fun ebaying, I found these very small VF pencil sharpeners. They can be taken apart and have the smallest VF toy I've been able to find. Pics below: Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) These might work: https://www.shapeways.com/product/AARYR8L25/vf-1-valkyrie-x15-fud?optionId=64688380&li=marketplace 1/1250 scale, so only about 2.5x the size they ought to be. I'd suggest going for the "fine detail plastic".

Smiley424 Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 I know you already got the PF Arcadia, but I also wanted to mention the Master Made Super Deformed DYRL SDF-1. It's sold out now and I'm not sure what the prices for it are still this time. Still one of my favorites. Makuros! Quote

spacemanspiff Posted April 30, 2019 Author Posted April 30, 2019 It's been awhile since posting some progress on this guy. . . I've finally added all the littel screw covers and snap-in bits. There is so much great detail in this piece. Here is the beast in a flying pose with a pencil eraser topper VF-1J in gerwalk mode to try and scale with it. Also pictured is the glorious DX VF-1J. I placed some Diaclone pilots to scale with the DX VF-1J. Enjoy Quote
spacemanspiff Posted April 30, 2019 Author Posted April 30, 2019 I also added the background to the city part. I got the background from wm cheng . His customizing of this piece is light years ahead of anything I can do, so I very much appreciated the assist on my piece. Quote

Slave IV Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 Sweet! Only cost me Thanks @spacemanspiff! It was a bitch to get the print in there but well worth it! Quote
Slave IV Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 Actually, I realized my print didn't come out as clean as yours so redoing it again...standby... Quote
