wolfx Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Whilst I was drifting off to sleep yesterday night, I was trying to remember where each one of my yammie valk's missiles went. Some were still in their boxes. Some were in my "spare parts" box, some were in "the drawer". That's like a load of unused plastic I have, not counting all the odds and ends from my Gundam FIX figures. Anyway, I was thinking Yamato or SOMEONE should make a missile display system much like those that come with the special editions of Gundam Seed kits and HCM Pros. These are clear parts that mimic "booster trails" where missiles and funnels can attach to. If we had something similar to simulate "Itano Circuses" it would be awesome as a display piece. The unused missiles will have some use at least.
Dante74 Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Good idea! I would work especially well with a GBP unit.
Chronocidal Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I think I've seen at least one display where people mounted a load of missiles on white wire pipe-cleaners, and displayed them around a 1/48 GPB.
UN Spacy Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I started a similar thread about this in the Model Forum a few months ago. There were some very interesting responses. http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...hl=itano+circus

There were some very interesting responses. http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...hl=itano+circus I just pulled this pic from the trail you started above. Man that looks amazing! I wish I had better modeling skills. I realy just don't have the time. I would love to do something like this with a 1/48.

Interesting that the effect is quite good as well.
Dante74 Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 If I were to do that on my 1/48 GBP, I wouldn't want the missiles to come out of it's ass though. It looks easy enough, but I'd need to find some non destructive way to attach the smoketrails to the missile bay.
big F Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I think I've seen at least one display where people mounted a load of missiles on white wire pipe-cleaners, and displayed them around a 1/48 GPB. Yeah but IIRC it was an ARII GBP Heres the link GBP
Scream Man Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Not a bad idea. Ive been planning to usethe gun fire blasts form my Marvel Legends War Machine when i eventually get around to my Dio. Eventually.
do not disturb Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 haha, its dorky enough i got them toys displayed to begin with, but i'd be entering a whole new realm of dorkdom if i went through that much trouble to display them. its still a pretty cool idea but i just can't bring myself to that level.
VFTF1 Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I guess I must be the chief-Dork-wannabe ... because I think that's freakin' sweet...and as soon as conditions permit, I'll be wanting to get some cotton and wire... :) As for missiles - I keep mine in the boxes. VFTF1

VFTF1 all hail chief-dork-wannabe! yes mighty ruler of dorkdom, we will obey your every command. i only have like 3 sets of missiles on hand, the rest are packed away in there boxes. i just stay using the same ones over and over so i can keep the others ones new. i mean why wear them out when you don't have to.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Truly masterful use of the cotton there. I've got something else in mnd, but i don't want to spend a couple hundred dollars just to do it, i'm scouting for prices, stay tuned.

VFTF1 Can I be the Vice-Dork then? I think that display is great. I would love to put something like that together.
