    30lb strength fishing line works well for hanging..

    Skull One anime accurate missiles?
  5. I'm pretty much the same way. I'm not even a big fan of plus. I'm a big fan of military aircraft. So anything after SDF & DYRL has very little interest as far as collecting. I barely enjoyed Plus, despised 7, but loved Frontier. But with so many mixed reviews on toy quality & overall ridiculous prices I settled in on the 1/48 scale & stayed there, especially since i already collect 1/48 military aircraft models. I've been a Macross fan since 1984 but have only been collecting high-end merchandise for 4 months. EDIT: let me revise that.. I have to include ZERO. I loved the mecha from Zero. So glad the 1/60 scale is so oversized that they look good on a 1/48 shelf....
  6. Yeah, my 0A had a broken shoulder right out the box...
  7. YEAH!! Those are awesome! What scale/size & can they be purchased?
  8. Yeah, i had no interest until they went down to $9 each.
  9. NICE!! Very professional weather technique! I've considered going grey for all my strike/super parts too. That anime accurate blu-ish /green just doesn't look right. My only recommendation would be to get yourself a ultra-fine black gundam marker to bring out those awesome details. But that may alter the look you were going for. I had a lot of fun paneling super parts. It's like therapy.
  10. I like the 1/100 line. It's not the best quality, but for the prices they display quite well.
  11. -WOW... I have a lot of catching up to do... most impressive. I'm sad that 1/48 line is dead. Yamato seemed to slam dunk that scale very well, i haven't had one issue yet & that's after a few 6ft suicide jumps. They are built like bricks! They seem so well engineered & reliable unlike the inconsistent various 1/60 lines for Yamato & Bandai. -My other grief is the lack of Destroid love in the market. Only 2 Destroids in 1/60 scale & the various Konig monsters that are ridiculously over priced in the aftermarket in every scale... -Oh.... my other issue is too much focus on DYRL in the market instead of the TV series. Since i started collecting mid december, i haven't paid for more then $175 for any one piece but I'd glady drop $300+ on a 1/3000 TV version of the Macross. Until then, i'll enjoy my old-school Matchbox.
  12. This thread is inspiring & depressing all at the same time. You veteran's collections are magnificent. I just started collecting less then 4 months ago. I love the 1/48's but i get down with the 1/144 & the 1/100's too.
  13. . Thanks. Still a work in progress.... That sucker is anchored to the ceiling with a 4" screw hook from Target, reinforced with them damn Hasbro pvc covered aluminum twist ties that used to come with Transformers toys, so it isn't going anywhere. I think i just used whatever fine blue paint marker i had for the bridge window, then detailed the area with a ultra-fine black gundam marker. That red had been urking me for years... On another note: I just rediscovered 30lb strength fishing wire so i may upgrade later. I'm experimenting with some hanging flight poses. May be able to switch it up & put away the Yamato stands for a little while. .
  14. Such a great character that has yet to be represented properly in action figure format.
  15. Agreed. That new Cheetara 6" is all fail. Very disappointed. Especially the way her eyes are too damn close together. Hopefully they get it right for the classics version... if they do it.
  16. THAT WAS 6 MINUTES OF AWESOME!!! That is how you play with your toys. Very well done & entertaining.
