Ah. That's my Mascot. It's a Dinosaur. I've been drawing that since I was little. I made a CG animation of that like 14 or so years ago. If you wanna see it in action, you can view it at my youtube  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjHfqJyyfTM

 

I should've gone with my gut.  🤦‍♂️

Changed up my MacZero display a little bit.

I'm really glad Bandai included stands with these and made them this dark brownish color, so any discoloration that might occur in the future won't be noticeable. The decals are a great touch too. I've sworn off buying any more of those overpriced clear tamashii stands after my old Stage Act 2 set eventually yellowed over time. Plus the connection between those tubular stand arms and the joints becomes loose over time and use.

I did need to mod the battroid stand connector so I could mount the VF-0A on the sturdier main stand arm and get it that low and angled... plus I really don't like having to use the fighter mode wings and spread them open so they don't hit the stand arm.

Finally got this bad boy fixed and on display in the macross case. It's size made for a difficult fit in, but got it on the shelf with Millia's 21 and my jungle camo yamato 1/48 vf-1 and GBP.

M'Kyuun's lego variable glaug with some minor tweaks to the paint job and some extra bricks here and there.

I probably didn't scroll far enough back.  Do you have pic from a different angle?  Maybe the front?  It's hard to appreciate it from only this angle.

This post has more, but earlier build. I think I still have the engines wrong.

That is my new favorite thread.  Thank you!

came back East Coast to switch storage units and dig through my stuff:

missing in the picture is half of my collection, VF-1 DX stuff  in the other unit being moved over...

I’ll double it to $40!

Now that I have a second set of moducases built, I have enough space to separate out SDFM and DYRL into separate shelves. Have space for my second SDF-1 in cruiser mode and Bandai's DX stuff too.

In the process of moving my collection to the new cases so I can move the old cases from my living area into my office/ready room. Probably going to be a multi-week project...

DYRL shelf is pretty much done. Might throw a few HMRs and character figures in where there's space, but my focus is on the larger scale stuff.

Now to finish the SDFM and Frontier shelves...

UN-freaking-believable display you have there, seriously.

Amazing.

For your next phase, get some cheapo TVs and put them against the background with a moving starfield.
I think we could all pitch in $5 to collectively make it happen

 

[MKT]

It's a sight to so many v2s in a single formation, plus most have been detailed up nicely.

Thanks Shawn! Though that might be a bit too ambitious for me. Maybe one of these days I'll get a good quality printout of a starfield or DYRL battle screenshot and put it across the background...

Thanks! I wish I had more time these days to fix more up. I don't think I've finished a single valk since the VF-171 over a year ago. 

SDFM shelf mostly done now. Might have to get some risers for the flight stands to raise the fighters up because them 1/48 battroids are so huge.

 

Frontier shelf gonna take awhile... so many valks and character figures were released for that series, as I've discovered while taking out the many Sheryl & Ranka figures from storage. A testament to its popularity I suppose. I feel like some lemon cake for some reason...

[Radioguy]

I'd like to be in your will.

Whoops! I left something on the SDFM shelf that belongs on the DYRL shelf. Can anyone spot it?

Shammy the bridge bunny belongs in the DYRL cabinet.

Also, the VT-1 on the right has DYRL Hik’ and Misa in the cockpit. 😉
