Best part of moving... the unpacking20170707_220348.thumb.jpg.26b60ec13b1a8a3a5ec0bac70c5e3e48.jpg

Here I was thinking why that Hikaru VF-1 is so big than the others. Then I realize I forgot about the 1/48 scale Valks. Hehehe. ^_^

This thread is sorely lacking the best bird B)). Seriously though having downsized a few times the past few years due to multiple moves/(single)marriage all your photos are hitting me with waves of nostalgia. My only display at the moment is at my work desk, but I'm still happy I get to pair up (undoubtedly) the best android and (arguably) the best valk!

And to think I used to have a dozen of VF-22S!

Here is my macross/robotech room.  2 custom lit  detolf cases and custom lit desk case.  All with backgrounds applied to the back.

IS THAT A CONY!? WHERE DID YOU GET THAT???

CIG did a run of them a few years ago; I want to say they made a couple thousand of them.

Given how poorly they sold I would be surprised if they ever did another run or any other models, if I remember correctly they ended up selling the last few hundred at cost just to get rid of them

After thinning away several duplicate items, a display clean and reshuffle AND some new LED lighting!, I thought I'd share some pics!

Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!

How are the LEDs setup? Just along the front shooting straight in towards the case or are they angled? Also, just the light in front or are there others? It's hard to tell with the reflections. Thanks!

Vertically full length facing rearward and a strip along the top. Pretty simply actually. Same as before but now physically longer strips with brighter whiter light.

Also got the waterproof strips this time as the clear domed coating helps disperse the light better.

The low power setting is now almost as bright as the high power setting from the old LEDs! Full brightness is crazy now! These photos were taken with the medium setting.

Excellent, thanks. Looks really good and how I want to setup my cases but there is not a lot of space between the shelf and doors..need to find very thin led strips.

You've done a single vertical strip running down the front right hand side?

I've been considering getting a pair to run then down the front two corners and shine them inward style of lighting on my cabinet.

Oh hey sorry, there are two vertical strips on each cabinet and a strip along the top.

Looking forward to having your drone fighter on display in there too!

Excellent displays spanner!  Your displays were originally the reason I switched back over to stay on this awesome Macross forum permanently.

Here's an update to my 1/60 display.  It has everything I wanted to put in one detolf.
