miriya Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 (edited) Ok, I am just borrowing and not only that but probably giving them more business so they really do not need to be upset. EDIT: Took off "stolen" images.... c'mon! Anyway, here is my "digial remix" with how I would want to paint it (maybe).

miriya Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 It is funny too misterryno, Because it was not until after your post that I saw that my original post and an actual image saying, "image stolen from HLJ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miriya Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I may have to get like 8 or 10 of these and just make a big macross factory for displaying my 1/48s or my 1/60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpaint22 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 That's awesome MaveRick I looked at those a while back but thought the 1/48 would sit to high above the walls, I never new that you could increase the hight by adding another wall on top. It looks really great thanks for show your pic's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacrossMan Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 misterryno: thanks ryan Miriya: 4 pcs chain base combined is decent enough to fit a 1/48 Valyrie in fighter mode.. i've been contemplating on using those for a diorama, what prompted me then was the size of it, it is afterall designed for 1/144 gundams i believe.. i never knew they could actually be combined to fit in larger scale mechas like the 1/48s until recently That is one awesome looking display! I would like to display each one of fighters this way. Where did you get the small accessories? They appear to be perfect scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp Durron Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Got a little Roy in you? Please drink and fly responsibly. I had a few extra jolly roger stickers from my VF-0S and thought "What the f***..." -Kyp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaveRick Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 thanks a lot guys.. your feedbacks are really inspiring me to finish this one.. been into this on and off due to busy schedule i specially had a hard time with building those hangar crews and equipments which is also at 1/48 Scale figures from Hasegawa, i never had any background or experience with modeling, but i just wanna showcase my favorite macross toy.. so there i muster my guts of doing it anyway.. so that's basically my first attempt.. let reiterate that those chain bases are really intended for smaller scale mechas, so some of the add on parts might not be usefull.. chain base can be purchased at HLJ or Toyw-wave.. i got mine from the later..

MacrossMan Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Awesome collection Toboro! BTW. I never knew the MP Megatron was that big. Niiiiiice! Me either! Been concentrating on Macross for the moment, but I might have to cop the funds for the MP Megatron. It's old school and flucking huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossMan Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I finally got some pictures of my collection together and I wanted to share them with all of you guys Tell me what you think.

MacrossMan Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Here's my small collection. Overview shot of display cabinet. The Low Viz and Roy shelf. The Max and CF shelf. The Hikkie shelf. The Macross Zero shelf. The Macross Plus shelf. Love the pics, but damn sure love the shelf even better! I've got to start searching for something as the shelves I anticipated using won't do the Valks any good. Too dark. I need some all glass like the Detolf, but unfortunately we do not have an Ikea where I am at. SUCKS big time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossMan Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Thanks ... I copied the Max mid transformation pose from macross world member sithlord. It looks very cool. Very cool indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossMan Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 when Kensei gets his shelves made, we can have a battle royale of the super collections. Until then, I do have to say Sithlord's collection is very impressive. Two questions for Sithlord...What do you do and how do you do it? That's a quote from The Pursuit of Happyness, but I mean it literally. I want to be in the position to buy the kind of toys you buy and not think twice about it without being some bumb living in his parent's basement. I see pics that leads me to believe you're some sort of a draftsman or engineer. My telecommunications manager salary just aint cuttin' it if you will. Sheesh! Soon, very soon!

I need some all glass like the Detolf, but unfortunately we do not have an Ikea where I am at. SUCKS big time! Have you tried ordering online at Ikea.com? Yep. The shelves are only $59 a piece, plus $265 for shipping (freight) to my location because they weigh in at 89 lbs. each with all the glass. I've found the Detolfs on ebay for about $150 shipped, but I have more catching up to do on my collection before I decide to display it. I have emailed the seller of the shelves on ebay several times for shipping quotes on more than one of the shelves, but havent' gotten a response.

"You have to hire this guy, he's a Macross fan and he collects toys! You can't go wrong with this guy chief!" I'm sure you'll find a better paying job. Good things come to those who wait work hard.

MacrossMan Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) Trust me man.....I'm a draftsman and a engineering technician. We don't make THAT much money. It all boils down to where we're at and what we have going on. My wife I closed on a new house December 06. With a bigger mortgage and other expenses there isn't much left to "play" with. But to be able to cover those expenses at the end of the day and still be able to toss around dough on toys the way Sith does would be insane! I can't complain though...I still get to buy a toy here and there. Not exactly a toy, but as proud of it as I am of my small growing collection...our house as it was being built and some pics as we got certain rooms together after getting settled in.
