wolfx Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 You framed up the VF-1S Hikkie box. Cool setup. If you did a jamming session at full power, it looks like all your mecha will collapse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 That is a neat little idea, if i had the room to do it, i'd try doing that myself. Nice job. BTW what made you decide to display it like that in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promethuem5 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Perfect Dave... came out awesome, and fast... Did you end up doing the coat hanger wire trick, or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfan Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 That made me think of the way the VFs are launched from the Macross. I wonder if a diorama of a section of the SDF-1 has been made (claw, lights, antennae, the works) showing the VF launching into space?

connor99 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Looks excellent! and on a sidenote, I think you made a good decision on having to put the valk upside down, instead of on it's side, 'coz that would have put too much stress on the backpack . Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 The reason it's up side down is because Hikaru Valk came out that way in the last battle in DYRL. I could also easly put it on an angle and be nice an stable if I wanted. I may do that that if I get another stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly4victory Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Great Job! Is the Valk held by the friction of the claws on the launch arm? Or is it unseen anime magic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortress_Maximus Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Excellent job! Curious, do you plan on adding more 1/48s and creating a squad or even recreating specific scenes? Nice room layout, very organized! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will use quick set epoxy inside the joint and then reassemble before it dries. The framed box top is great. It is also a perfect way to save your Hasegawa top's as art.
