Speaking of 1/48 hands. Whatever happened to that DYRL-style hands project?

Is it vaporware now? 

hopefully not...i know eternal_d worked very hard on the hands for this community...i still wanna see the project done, even if i don't get any DYRL? style hands

he worked very hard on a hand... lol... He only did one.

he's still not done partying after that one accomplishment.

Need DYRL hands for valks...

Chicken handed valks dying....

Please send help, Eternal D, you are our only hope...

Hurry up dammit!

I'm down for at least 3 sets, can't wait.

Rohby's recasts are great i hva esevereal sets and teh casting job is impeccable.

Can't wait for the replies on this one.

Great job.

cool thread

Definitely Toynami. My favorite Robotech toy is my 1/48 Low Viz... hey, wait a minute?

Cool stuff

Great job.

The enigma paint scheme is defiantely growing on me.

What valk did you start off with?

yamato stickers suck. They do not lay flat like takatoys stickers and they peel off also.

Use an exacto knife and make sure to never touch the adhesive side always palce teh sticker on the blade.

I would get either Devin or Takatoys stickers for the 1/48 Yamato. I am not sure about the toynami stickers though.

i was just talking about this with [EXO] yesterday. Being in SoCal has really made this collection possible. I'm from NY and buying these valks would be so much more expensive and almost impossible to track down in a brick and mortar store back east.

Out here there are so many local supprting Vendors like Soze and Kevin and events like Macrossworld Cons and there are great places like Frank and Sons - which the best way to describe it for those who haven't been there is like cheap crack house heaven for toy collectors.

Why would you get kicked out?

She's just hot from her last battle. No biggie.

Nice custom

Here is a teaser pic of the Low Viz custom

More pics soon

Actually I don't keep them all MIB. I have panel lined a few used Anaztazi's Decals and Takatoys Stickers, and have done a custom LV with Strike pack that was at MW Con 4. I will post pics of these soon.

I will try to take a better pic of the Box of the Club M strike.

I have been very lucky as I got almost all of these at Frank&Sons for around $120ish (non Super) Also got great deals from Neova, Kevin and a few used deals before they all skyrocketed in price.

ALso this is not even the whole collection. I have the other Vintage valks exept for the Taka GPBS and CF 1A.

Fortunately I have for the most part suceeded in not collecting anything else. I am literally scared to buy a Transformer or Star Wars toy for fear it will be a Trojan Horse and decimate my space and funds.

wwwmwww -

That is an insane collection! Would love to own originals of the Mac Plus 1/48's. I just recently got the Myerjesse recasts and am eager to build them one day.

The pics where taken just before I moved out of my old place, and I was able to spread the whole lot out.

Luckily I have lots of closet space in the new place.

Here are pics of my collection.

That is even funnier than your helmet.

Totally cool.

When are we going to make real helmets though? With all the resources here at MW how hard could it be to mod a cheapie motorcross helmet.

I ended up using Light Ghost Grey and Primer mix and it looks spot on.

Will post pics soon.

Thanks

Thanks Guys

Will try the Testors Primer

I gave Model Masters Light Ghost grey a shot and it is too light.

Any one know what type will give me an exact match?

Thanks

Very Cool!

We should call this Ikea World.

Glad to know so many collections (including mine) have contributed to their bottom line.

Great pics guys!

Great news. I hope they package it with a 1J or a 1S.

Now get to work on the 1/48 VF 1D, Elint and Ostrich dammit!

The 1S spiked in price until a recent announcement that there was going to be a third issueing in Dec. There where a few that went for around that price on ebay but more of them where a tick under $200.

Crazy Glue or any CA glue can be applied to a spot of non cured resin that won't take paint. But I do not know how you would cover an entire piece in CA.

Thanks!

So will those Industrial compressors that go up to 90psi work on these lower settings 5-30 psi?
