Only took 35 years, but I finally have a TV Roy that I'm satisfied with.

Oooo… My turn to spin the wheel.

Valks: Past (Arcadia Strike VF-1s with the Yamato V.2 valk stand) and Present (DX Delta 31c with Supers). Note that there are no pilots nor armaments.

Technically since it is 2018 , it would be valks past and future.

Hmmm... In 2018, would the VF-4 still be a present model? Or would the VF-11 have been introduced by now?

[borgified]

Good point(s) there @Shizuka the Cat.

I wasn't really paying close attention to the Macross timeline when I posted these pics up; however as of the valks in collectable format, then this might be a possibility.

This is my understanding based on what I gathered on this website on the Macross Mecha Manual: http://www.macross2.net/m3/m3.html

The VF-4 will still be around while the VF-5000 would be on the drawing boards. The VF-11 didn't come into plans until 2028.

Does this help?

Reposting old pics of the Yamato 1/60 Regult. Wish Arcadia released it in toy form.

Now that would be worth a rerelease and a PF version...

My DYRL Roy which I started in 2013 and only just now completed. Five years isn't too bad, right? 

And with that I think I need a break from decaling VF-1s for awhile. Hopefully my PF 0S arrives today and I can start tinkering with that.

[sumyumgoy]

Looks great!  Love the panel lining/shading...nice and subtle.  Did you top coat it too?

Thanks! Yeah she's completely top coated. Don't want the decals and such rubbing off.

Looks fantastic! Great job and dedication!

[wm cheng]

LOOKS FANTASTIC!!!  (Those Hasegawa decals totally paid off!)

[Lolicon]

Thanks guys. The main 1S was finished years ago but I sat on the strike parts and weapons all these years. It was one of those "I'll do it this afternoooooon!" situations where "afternoon" turned into five years. 

[chyll2]

Weathered, decal'd. The rainbow canopy still being good. So beautiful.

 

@Lolicon

are you planning to top coat the strike/super parts as well?

Everything is already coated.

[Xigfrid]

It is really a beauty! Did you air brush the panel lines or you used the tamiya weathering kit? I think the later but it looks so clean

Used the Tamiya weathering kit.

Waterslide decals of Skulls and Kites added to some of my Valks thanks to @Lolicon & @sumyumgoy

Need to adjust my printer to print darker and maybe not try to cut circles at 3am but hey, looks better than nothing and I'm happy.

[Slave IV]

No 1/3000 for this thread?

Just focus on 1/100 then

Looks good! The kite came out especially nice.

Thanks! Probably looks better since it’s out of focus. 

Oh, I will open it. Been waiting a lifetime to!

[Slave IV]

And Max now has his Kites too.

Man, I suck at this! Thank goodness for PF version if I really cared that much.

[sh9000]

Display the SDF-1 in the distance with DYRL HMR in front of it.  That would look sweet.

Definitely! I have a similar plan that may work better. Will see when I get around to it.

Looks good to me! Is the decal not laying completely flat on the surface? Some decal softener can easily fix that.

Thanks! I think I may have just gotten lazy and not pressed it flat all the way around with the qtip. Never used decal softener before but I’ll check it out if I need to. 

[sumyumgoy]

looks like a nice circle to me!  I agree with the decal softener recommendation, you just brush a little bit over it and it'll conform nicely to the shape of the booster.

[derex3592]

Be very careful with decal softner on decals you printed yourself.....

[Slave IV]

Thanks for the compliments and recommendations! I've never had to use decal softener before and this shouldn't be an issue since it is just a smooth flat surface. I think the issue was just me half assing the job. If I redo it, I will post new pics to see the difference. Looking at it again, I think it may benefit from a topcoat if I do redo it so I'll see how it all turns out.

Make sure that if you're going to use decal softener, apply a topcoat first on your decal. Without so, the softener will ruin your printed decal.
