mojacko Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 @ rdenham nice display cab.....like d way u display ur collectibles!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdenham Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) Since both of the larger planes are in 1-48 scale they really go together well & it allows me to combine both of my collections. I can't wait until later this week when I get my Low-Vis Woodland Camo VF-1A so I can display it with my Armour 1-48 Robin Olds F-4.

Fly4victory Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 The armour "sun downers" mini helmet is a great touch. Really fills in the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeLux Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Awsome collections guys! And I have to ask rdenham as well.... Where does one buy one of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdenham Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Thanks for the complements I have really enjoyed how this cabinet turned out. I purchased it at a closeout warehouse called City Liquidators in Portland OR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafunguy Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Here's a link to that display cabinet: http://www.vcf.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servl...productId=16551 Too pricey for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante74 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) A couple of years ago I had the chance to get a display case from an acquaintance that worked at an electronics store. They were refurnishing the store and were getting new store display cabinets. It had 1 cm thick glass and was about 1.5 m wide and 2 m high. I didn't collect toys back then and it was heavy as hell and much too big to drag up two flights of stairs so I passed and let my father in law have it. Every time I see that display cabinet I feel like kicking myself... Edited January 11, 2007 by Dante74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Darn, I really like it but I'm in CA so it seems i'm SOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdenham Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) dafunguy, great job on finding that link. After the request for were this curio could be found I went on line looking for it and came up with nothing. If my memory serves me right Ashley made this curio; I used to have an official promo picture for the curio; however I can't find it anymore.

mister_e Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 It's pics like those that remind you that the Legioss is REALLY small. Even at 1/48 scale (or 1/55 if you believe Toynami), that thing is still dwarfed by the 1/60 VF-0S and YF-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp Durron Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 LOL Kyp, that almost looks like the type of picture someone takes of their pets. Yeah, it is amazing just how small the Legioss is compaire to the other two. I love all three equally. The YF-19 is much more solid than the VF-0S and about on par with the Legioss in fighter mode. -Kyp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at 1/48 scale (or 1/55 if you believe Toynami), that thing is still dwarfed by the 1/60 VF-0S and YF-19 True. But I'm sure the 1/60 VF-1 would get dwarfed too, if it were added to the mix. Also, I think if we were ever to connect the Legioss to its "big brother"/back-up, it'd probably even things up a little bit in the size comparison.

Let's go find where they keep those prototypes at and take them for ourselves!!! Muhahahaha!!! Seriously, they really need to make them... I thought about buying a blue Legioss just in case, but since it looks like Toynami is going back on it's plan, I guess I won't bother. -Kyp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto Pilot Off Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 actually its silver chalk on stealth .. i scraped the silver chalked into powder using a hobby knife then i mixed it with alil bit water and liquid soap to make it thick mixture.. then i apply on the lines using a fine brush leave to dry then use a damp facial tissues or cutton buds to remove excess...

WOW! That's a heck of a process! One other question, and this is probably a NUB question, so pardon me. How did you get the original emblem off the left wing so that you could replace it with the stealth emblem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auto Pilot Off Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 yeah.. its a heck of process but i think its better cos those silver lines can be removed easily... i didnt remove the original emblem off the left wing i just cut the sticker into size and paste it over carefully.. neat trick ah...

Thanks for the tip. I'm ordering some Takatoys stickers for my Stealth (hopefully) and that looks much better than the red emblem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GutsAndCasca Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 *laughing* wall of shame, huh? I move into a new house (5 bedroom!) in a couple weeks, up from a two bedroom apartment. I'm debating exactly if/and/or/what I'm going to display from my rather extensive collection of macross goodies. (We're going to have a lot of people over all the time from now on... mostly my wife's family members) But screw people's opinions; my new YF-19 goes up where everyone can see it because Isamu and I share the same last name, damnit.

I like displaying my stuff, I just wish i had more space for it all. Meanwhile everything is safe behind the glass. I'm gonna have to get rid of the stuff thats not Macross and SOC related.

BoBe-Patt Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 wow, so out of all that, you have only one vintage macross toy? How much did you pay for that elintseeker? You planning on displaying it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macross73 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) Yep thats all . I started collecting late in the game. i think it was about 250-300 i cant recall. I'll display some day when i have more space to put up the 1/55 i have Edit: The VE-1 is not mint the package has a tear and when i got it the not all of the armor was there. But i was just glad to get it. Thanks to NMB4 I now have armor to go with it. Edited February 1, 2007 by Macross73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 $300 for a minty elint would be an absolute steal! I paid $550 for mine . I think I paid $500 for my SuperO and it has a couple spots of yellowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
