  1. Wow the first yamato 0's had shoulder problems, and now Arcadias have hips going out... I guess the vf-0 is really showing its age.
  2. Where did you get such wonderful decals? I have a build kit that I want to do a guard on but haven't had any luck with markings.
  3. I don't have much in 1/72. It was between a Catalina or a Lighting, and well this one won. Not a bad kit quite easily to built, but the stickers holy crap.
  4. Mine just deliverd, so my weekend project is here. Now I'm just going to have to decide between stickers or decals.
  5. Not a bad guide for top coating. But one big note is for sticker and decals. You should never try and put decals/stickers on a mat clear coat. Sticker wont stick well and decals wont move or lay well, you want a smooth surface for the decal/sticker bare plastic or high gloss clear coat. http://www.gunpla101.com/top-coat-guide-for-gunpla/
  6. Ive thought about using Duracoat for toy paints. I'm interested to how this works out. have you considered a low temp bake for the paint? like 120 for a hour for curing and hardening? Ive used this stuff on real steel and airsoft before.
  7. Wow, that was fast. I saw the post at 7am and ordered one, 30 min later and the sales off.
  8. Your sites taking me a long ways back. The days of valkyrexchange.

    Well I managed to get one off Amiami, anyone else get one?
  10. Are we expecting much in the way of articulation? To me the hips don't seem to have much clearance in battroid.
  11. Thats just about exactly what I did. FYI I cant get it on one Detolof shelf its taking up two.

    I just found these, I figured people would be interested . I just hope that they release more for the Glag, monster, and maybe valks would be nice. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MACROSS-Robotech-Hi-Metal-R-Zentraedi-Battlepod-REGULT-non-trimmed-custom-decal-/371619231924?hash=item56863b78b4:g:7QsAAOSwhRxXLDxz

    Got my Roy in today, and it's missing a piece. but I did get the limited stand even though I placed the order after they started shipping. And given the n-y is the company I went through I have no recourse. Well at least it's not a major piece.
  15. Would a Spacy Kite be possible or are we going to try and avoid licensed logos?
  16. Loving all the 171's. and also your Ikea cases look amazing I love the 2-3 valks per shelf. Looks so clean and un cluttered. WP_20160428_22_52_08_Rich.jpg

    https://youtu.be/7roF7YNzAgs Yep. One to display, one to open, and one just in case. image.png
  21. Well I've been playing with the beta and my new case and I think I've pushed it as far as I'm going to. I have the say the Beta is perfect for single valk display but it can be pushed to do so much more. This is the current configuration with three vf-1 60s on one arm. I was playing with it before this and had three 22s on but i didn't take a pic. I plan on buying more as soon as there available and will set the 22s up again for photos, along with that I plan on trying 48s as well with and without fast packs.
  22. Thanks everyone, its a work in progress already have made some small changes. I'll post more pics at some point once I've changed it up more. So to those who like the case, I got it on a ebay local pick up no one was bidding against me, so I got it for a song. The companies site is http://www.astrodisplay.com/home.html but it offers no information on the case or any info rely. But if your looking for a similar case i have come across this place http://www.displays2go.com/C-29647/Floor-Display-Cases spendy stuff but way bigger than in Ikea standard. My one gripe with the case is the shelf hight, with them evenly spaced a 48 wont fit in battroid and a fighter wont fit standing up. And i dont know if my ocd will allow shelves with different heights.
