I meant to say had bought.

Thanks for the replies guys I'm glad you like the display. It's full of old 1/55s because at the time when I bought the display case and put my valks in it yamato and Bandai were'nt producing valkyries. It's an old collection. The most recent valk is the ostritch and the vf-1d I customized a little over a year ago. I eventually want to buy another display case and fill it with 1/48's. I do like the comics in the background of the display case but I only wish they did'nt say robotech. I also have another display case with japanese super robots from the soul of chogokin series. I'll try to take a pic of it this weekend.

Sorry about the pic size

Here's a pic of a display case I bought at Sams club. Don't pay attention to the Comics in the back ground. I eventually want to add a light and glass shelves. The bad thing is the doors kind of block the toys.

oops

I bought some pretty nice hinged ones at Sams club. They are made of real wood. The only thing is the mission style wood design hides some of the toys. I'll post a pick later.

You should already know the answer to that one.

Nice work!

I meant the vintage Bandai's and Taka's.

I actually grew up with Robotech first. I didn't learn about Macross till several years later. I had learned Robotech was a butchered up version of three cartoons, but it had exposed me to two that really like, Macross and Mospeda. In the past my brothers and I refered to the cartoons as Robotech. Now, that word has'nt been said in years. The only things that say that are the Macross comic books I have in my display case that say robotech on them. I really don't care for the MPC's. I like the boxes. I feel the 1/48's are worth the money for the detail. As far as the 1/55's the prices are good because they are vintage. If you think the prices are high for them now, you should have tried to buy one four or five years ago.

I also use an Iwata HP-C. I purchased mine on ebay for 90.00 a while back. Since then a new model HP-C has come out. They might be cheaper now.

Good job, I also like the idea of it still looking like a toy. I try to do the same with my customs.

Thanks. Sorry about the mix up.

I never finished the cannons on the top. I had tried to keep it as basic as possible.

Here's a side view

Here you can see some of the reshaping of the hatch line. I had also chopped the chin and nose. Then removed the bump between the lower cannons are. I painted it with a custom blue and white/gray blue color.

Here's the pic.

Sorry guys, I'm still learning how to do this. vI'll try agian in a little while.

I recieved a request to post some of my old customs so I thought I'd share one them.

VF-1D trainer

I love my 1/55's too. They still look cool to me even though the style is vintage or out dated. I wouldn't want anything changed on them.

Great picture, the valk might influence him to become an airforce pilot in the future

I think the 1/55 will be safe enough for your son to play with as long as you don't give him the missile sprue. I'm sure the 1/55 injury rate is quite low.

I don't collect joke machines myself, but that's great work miestro!
