  1. Nice comparison.  Three Zero looks like a significantly better toy.  

    The arms being low don't bother me, but... I wonder if you can pop off the 3 backpack thrusters to get the arms in a better position in fighter mode.  Before trying that I suppose you could try and pop up the backpack and see if the arms can even sit up higher in the first place.

  2. I got the 1J the other day and am super impressed with it. It's not perfect, but you definitely get your money's worth.  Detail is really well done. Paint is great.

    It looks good with almost any pose. Probably the worst pose is what it looks like in the box. Like looking down into a grave lol.

    Another bonus for me is that it's closer in scale with the majority of my other Valkyries.

    I preordered the 1S today. I hope they come out with more of these other than M&M VF-1J. I've never really liked the M&M scheme (just personal preference).

  3. I have more pics of his other models, but don't want to piss off anyone by posting more non-Mospeada related ones. Also not sure if he wants everything shared. I only asked about the Horizont.

    I'll tell him about the positive comments!

  4. I haven't visited Macrossworld in ages. The Sentinel Riobot Tlead/Tread/Beta brought me back.

    I wanted to also share some pics of my cousins 100% scratchbuilt Horizont he made. It was a long process, he modeled it on the computer, then some of it was 3d printed, others were made out of plastic sheets IIRC. I thought it was REALLY well done. He asked if I was interested in letting him build my old Moscato 1/32 Legioss and I definitely will let him, but I also kinda want to sell it, but I don't think it will fetch as much as I paid for it.

    I added some of the other models and projects he's done.

    Awesome setup, man! Glad you are having fun with them.

    Thanks.  I think they're the most ingenious things.  I setup my last stand.

  6. SOLD to bbrain.  Thanks for the interest.

     

    This is my YF-19 I've had since new. 

    I did some pencil panel weathering, and modded the wings.  One of them doesn't look so great, but I think it's hardly noticeable.  Otherwise, looks and transforms fine, nothing broken.

    Missing the black neck cover plate.

    I'm including the Fast Packs from the Fold Booster set as well. 

    The box is in pretty terrible shape.

     

    SOLD $75 plus $20 shipped US, or $35 outside US.

  7. Every light is going to be different.  Lots of LEDS put out noticeable heat, but it's deffinitely less than an old filament lightbulb. 
     

    I just took some temp gun readings on my stuff.  It's 66F degrees in the display room.  The 1 watt led spotlights were 92F at their hottest spot (on the lights metal body).  My PG Gundam shield 3 inches away was 68 degrees.  The valks at the top were 66.

    You could do the mod where you remove the separating walls inside to create a shelf that spans across all the detolfs.

    It hadn't occurred to me that they can stand with only the backglass and the door, but now that I think about it, of course they will.  I'll have to take them down and remove more glass.  Maybe I'll get some help this time instead of doing it myself.  :o

  9. Mine don't seem to be that bad, but I've heard others say they hate the dust on theirs.  It's something to consider. 

     

    Even things like having a central air vent near your display can add to the problem.  I used to have mine near the entryway to the house.  They got a little dusty there.  Now they're in a room with the least amount of use in the house.  

    I've never had displays side by side before, so I hope I don't have to dust in between them much.  That... could be... a pain.:unsure:

  10. ^ Well, to keep dust down, the more sealed the better.  People pick the IKEA Detolf in part I believe because they are cheap.  I haven't checked lately, but they used to be like $70.  The problem is, you have to have an Ikea nearby otherwise they charge something ridiculous like $200 to ship. 

  11. Good eye.  So, the outer cabinets are Detolfs, and the inner cabinets are Detolf knockoffs I found on Amazon.  Here's the ones I have, but I paid less than they are at now.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000IN9BRC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    They are not exactly the same as detolfs.  The inner bar frames are much thicker, and they use a different system to mount the shelf glass.  I got them because IKEA is over 300 miles away from me now.

     

    The center is open on the center 2 cabinets.  This is the standard mod where you don't install glass on the sides of two of the cabinets, then put them next to each other.   Yes, all 4 of them have closing doors.

  12. All the ones on the bottom are PGs except the Zeong on the far left. 

    The PG Zeta, hmm, I love it, but it's not very dynamic.  It's not like a toy transformation at all.  It's more like carefully moving a part at a time so you don't break anything.  I actually picked up another Zeta just to keep in Waverider (and have extra parts), so there's your answer, don't get it for the transformation.

    All my PGs need some tune-ups.  The joints are all lose.  Fingers pop off all the time.  Most of them can't hold their guns up high.  Maybe I'll try taking them apart one by one and fixing them.
