otihconip Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fg-site.net%2Farchives%2Fpost_old%2F146544&h=3AQEkeXcP&s=1 OK, I couldn't help myself, just saw this on MW main page for FB but don't see anything about this in the forums. WHO is this awesomely crazy person that built this and where can we track him down? Is he part of MW? Can we get him to post some more info on this insane build, I don't think I have ever seen this much detail on a 1/72 valk!!!!! I honestly thought it was a 1/48 only to be even more amazed that it actually was 1/72. Are there any other builds like this?!!! WM Cheng where have you been dude?

miriya Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 my computer did not like that link. Can you post the image here directly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Vincent Pang actually reminded me that I had this set in my data banks... some guy on FB linked the builder's blog http://www.fg-site.net/archives/post_old/146544 Are there any other builds like this?!!! WM Cheng where have you been dude? You have to dig thru the FB photo stream to find more stuff like this... even William can attest to all the crazy stuff posted on there... https://www.facebook.com/Macrossworld/photos_stream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight26 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 That is some serious depot level maintenance, I wonder how many photo-etch kits went into making all those little fiddly bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zinjo Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 My money would be on a member of the "VF-1 Riders" model club if i were to hazard a guess. They do some phenomenal work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I'm pretty sure there's an F-18 set in there. (F-14 likely sourced as well of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool8or Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) This kind of builds really inspired me: I really hope to make something like this, someday... At least, I have the kits!! Edit: I just realize that the kit is in 1/72!! I always tought that it was in 1/48! Edited August 30, 2014 by cool8or Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I think the builder's name is Mohirito Nakajima. There was another 1/48 diorama that looked similar to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
