I think I may use some forced perspective with my 1/60th collection and use the VT-1 in the background somehow. And some of the other Elint Seeker and so on. So if you have any thoughts to some combos of these let me know. I have the following 1/60's VE-1 VT-1

My appologies, I have been very busy with work the last week. I am planning another photo shoot down at the layout this weekend. If you have any ideas, list them out for me and I will print them and do the work. Graham, I would love to share these with anyone, and if you would like to post them on the main page FIRE AWAY! Thanks for asking. Sadly I only have the following equipment: (Too Many Hobbies, Too Little Money! ) VF-1A CF VF-1S VF-1J White VF-1J Miria VF-1J Max Strike Set All Except the VF-1S have Super Attachments. So if you like please specify any of the previous. I should do some custom valkyries. I did have a Low Viz VF-1A the first issue from a few years back, I sold it to a fella in Colorado Springs. Perhaps he could meet me there with it. If anyone wants to stop by the layout with other customs sometime.. No problem Erik [attachmentid=40124]

Sorry for the repeated post, Dia-Up has its joys.. I wondered what I was doing. BLAHH Erik

I have been real busy all week but I thought I would drop in another image of a train for size relationships. The car is an Overland Models brass import of a Superliner phase II paint Amtrak car that would have been used in 1999. I will be doing some more shots this weekend with maybe some dry ice and lights to improve the effects. I attached an image of some of the oil painting I do. [attachmentid=39841] I am planning on doing a series of oils of the Valkyries at some point. I might be able to come up with some ground battle scenes from these studies with the train layout. If you have any ideas for action scenes that would make a good illustration of the Macross Saga, that has not been done yet give me your thoughts. Thanks Erik [attachmentid=39840]

Apollo Leader, very well stated, an airbase would be cool, but most of these old farts really don't have any interest in anything Fiction. Our oldest member is 84 and has been a member since 1953. If you guys want this is our website: http://www.denveroscaleclub.org Most of the structures in these images are kitbashed or kits from various sources over the decades. Many of the structures not in these images are scratched with wonderful skill and detail. At my age I am a rare enthusiast at age 33, and have been a avid fan of Macross Mecha since I was a child in early 1980's. Stop by the gallery on the website if you want to see the rest of the layout,. loads of pictures. Warm Regards Erik [attachmentid=39774]

I will gather all your expert notes and do as you ask. I am far from an expert on these things. Thanks for the kind words. Erik [attachmentid=39772] [attachmentid=39773]

Hello: It has been a long while since I have been on the MW board. Wow, maybe since 2003. I did lose my password and it sucked I also no longer had the old email either. But I was a member back in 2000, I really appreciate the wonderful site and look forward to having some fun here. I have always wanted to do this, I did after great delay get around to shooting some photos of the 1/48 Yamato's VF-1's at my train club layout here in Denver. We model in 1/48th or O scale 2 rail, and have a substantial 7000' plus square foot layout that has roots dating back to 1933. I took these preliminary shots for fun today with hopes to get some idea what I can do to get some neat images of the VF-1's in a proper 1/48th enviroment. I know the MW Forums has done this sort of thread in the past, but I thought everybody would like to see these. Its not everyday that we can set up these remarkable toys in a scale enviroment of this size and accuracy. As I get time I will add more. I hope this thread does not get blocked. With that said, Please enjoy and leave me some feedback! Erik Lindgren (I think I used to be: Erik L.)
