Sadly I've only been lurking around this site for a while without posting, but I had to commet on your work. I love what you have done here, the paintwork and weathering is perfect. The more I look at the detail the more amazed I am. Very inspiring.

Thanks for the comments guys. Please go here to see the latest decal sheets:http://www.flickr.com/photos/30029551@N06/collections/ I'll be posting more as soon as I can.

Both look awesome - my preference is the lighter sandy coloured one as it really brings out the detail, it looks almost lifesize.

Wait! just seen the wave mobile staff on e-bay, they aren't pre-painted for starters. I am sure that the qualty is similar though.

I'm not sure, I am quite now to making these things, and these were the first vehicles and figures I could find at this scale.

Here aresome images showing the build process: Print off decals: Make foamcore shapes using decals as templates Use hot glue gun to glue shapes together - (note strenghtening triangles) Attach decals (CAREFULLY) Voila! attach to backdrop:

Hi, I thought I'd show you images of some vehicles I bought to go with some Chara works Valkyries. They are great for dioramas. They are called VOTOMS and come packaged in a similar way to the Chara works kits. They come complete and are incredibly detailed for such small items.

Actually the set fits into a couple of IKEA EXPIDIT shelves (around 13in square), the backdrop folds up and can be stowed away & the hangar sections in the backdrop are fixed with Velcro so the whole thing stows away surprisingly neatly. So the wife is happy!

Word of warning - it's very addictive. Everytime I get a kit, I want to make a diorama or building to display it in!

OMG, I can't believe that there is Macross snobbery here! -

Check out the new photos. I've completed the set with a cool backdrop - If anyone wants to make this for themselves here are the decal sheets: http://www.flickr.com/photos/30029551@N06/collections/

That looks really great! can't wait to see it painted. I have been looking for some vehicles but there are very few about. I've been making my own stuff, not nearly as cool as yours. I have been using Foamcore to make buildings and backdrops for my macross and Gundam kits, here is a truck I made again from the foamy stuff. I got round the wheels by inventing a Gravmag drive system - no wheels needed!

Thank you! it is great to be able to show off my work and the encouragement I have been getting is only spurring me on to create more. I'll be back!

As it seems I have caused quite a stir (problem with texting and e-mails is they sometimes get taken the wrong way), so as an apology I have put together 2 runway decal sheets inspired by the Promethius. There are very few images of the flight deck, so I've used some arisitic licence. As soon as I get the chance I'll make a backdrop and hangar to go with it. The scale will most likely be 1/100 but the backdrops and runways are for most other scales. here they are: link here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/30029551@N06/...57612902647388/ Sorry for all of the trouble!

Yea, that looks awesome! Thanks for the link.
