    Arcadia Reactive Armor swap to Yamato..?

    in The Workshop!

    Posted

    Just purchased the reactive armor set from Bolt and did some work to my Yamato VF-0S to get the armor to fit decently for display only. :)

    the only thing i really had to do was remove the entire chest plate for the Yammie VF-0. Since the reactive armor chest plate covers it anyways, no point having it if you are using it for display purposes like me. it doesn't click in or stay, but will sit on the cockpit just fine. 

    Arm Armor fits perfectly and backpack slides on decently. Tabs don't click in place. 

    the biggest issue is the legs, the leg fins are too large to fit the leg armor flush so it can hold 3 sides of the leg armor on, but the back piece can only attach at the bottom so there's a visible gap. All in all - looks 90% good enough in my display cabinet!!

    Evolution Toy - VF-2SS Valkyrie I 《MACROSS II ~LOVERS AGAIN~&#1

    got super lucky and found a Faerie Leader VF-2SS on ebay for $130 shipped. Even at that price, it was tough to swallow some of the QC issues out of the box. Screw covers popping off, right arm is loose, and my left arm complete broke at the elbow joint with little movement.

    Yay for decent display piece (as are most of my toys in my collection)! Love the size and look of it though, but yea, i can barely touch it

    Enjoy looking a MW Con Displays? Help out this year by bringing your stuff!


    We will have a special display zone for ORGUSS and the general theme is VINTAGE MACROSS. More recent Macross is not excluded as we will have some Frontier on display but we need your help! The list provided are only some targeted items we'd like to display. Miscellaneous items such as video games, stickers, idol cards, pencil boards, post cards, etc. are especially welcome. Large model kit boxes with excellent artwork are also desired. If you would like to contribute and have items that match anything on the list or have special items that are not on the list, please contact Norge Yip @ norgeyip@gmail.com asap regarding collection displays and any questions regarding displays. Collectors are asked to set up before doors open to the public at 10am. Items on the list with an "X" in front of them (strikethrough on the spreadsheet) are confirmed for display and not needed. Here's the link to the wishlist!

    just chiming in to vouch that i did receive my replacement parts about a month ago. everything came except a replacement hose connector piece on the back of the helmet, but i see how that would be hard to replace. Sorry to hear about the others not getting their parts. Keep emailing them!

    image

    opened and was pleased to see bubble wrap

    image

    additonal side view of bubble wrap. they also include some foam bits in the corners of the box for extra protection

    image

    opened drawstring bag and there was extra foam bits protecting the face shield

    image

    also more foam padding on the back helmet bits

    image

    one side is perfectly lined up

    image

    the other not so much

    image

    overall no damage from shipping! there is one chipped paint on the visor, but it wasnt due to shipping so it must have been a factory issue. no biggie as i can paint it over

    much better than the first,but still not thrilled about the unaligned arrows.hoping the extra parts come as nicely packed.

    What is the policy going to be on vending there? She who holds the money says I can go, but would like me to bring books to sell if at all possible, and I think there is a demand.

    Sorry for such a late response!! i haven't been on the forums much lately, but registration is up and ready to go along with the Vendor Registration! To have a table to sell items at the con, you can register for a Vendor Ticket at http://mwcon.ticketleap.com/mwcon2014/ which includes 2 entries into the convention and a 6 foot table. If you don't have that much to sell, you can consider sharing a table with a fellow MW member to save money and space! Feel free to post a want ad in this thread, or PM Bigkid24 as he's handling vendor relations.

    I would like to bring my YF-19 with T-Rex boosters and 1/2000 SDF-1 and mabey the 1/60 regult(if I can tighten its joints by then), but if you already have someone eles dispaying them there i don't want to be repetitive, how would I go about doing this?

    Hi Murphy! We have a display coordinator who is putting together our wishlist and coordinating with those who would like to bring things for display. I'll PM you shortly with her email address so you can get in touch with her!

    Does Rohby have any plans for this years con?

    Hi StormS! Yes, Rohby does have another exclusive in the works and it's going to be AWESOME. =] Stay tuned as i'll post updates of the prototype when we have it.

    For everyone else, please register for MW Con 2014 through our ticket leap site at: http://mwcon.ticketleap.com/mwcon2014/

    Quick question regarding displaying art and fanworks for the con this year!

    Last year was my first, and I had a blast seeing all the displays! one of my favorite parts of the event was photographing collections and such.

    I dont know how much space you guys have again this year but is it possible to put cosplay on display? I'd like to display the costumes I've made for original Macross (Hikaru, Minmei, and Misa) on dress forms and such but it may take up a bit of room... or it's not appropriate? I don't have models to wear them all at the same time but would like to just display them^^;

    A Macross cosplay display would be AWESOME! And we could definitely make space for this. Talk to Exo who's in charge of programming including display setup. thanks!
