It's great to see your collection David, very impressive!  You've also made some very good suggestions with regard to storage.  I didn't realize how easily the boxes can bend, I'll need to be more careful in the future.  I really like the way you've displayed the boxes inside of the bookcase, nicely done. B))

 That's why I've asking you for the boxes ;)

I put them all in a bookshelf and looks really cool for me but I was thinking in add some wrapping to the boxes to protect them better

Hey great shelf Darotower =) yeah definitely wrap them,  i can see the  VT-1 box on your shelf already bending in the backm at least tie a thin strip that you can slide on and off easy to keep it in shape

Where is the jaw dropping emoticon on this forum? :lol:

Now I wonder... Is this thread still about Maintaining and Reinforcing? Or it's about showcasing 'Hard-To-Get' Macross stuff? :lol:

By the way, Slave. Here you go...

a lot of both! i wanted to reinforce my boxes and took out all my VF-1's out of storage. last night i wanted to test them out and changed up my display wall.

the wraps work really well and now i don't have to worry about stacking them on top of each other 

bump for new page^_^

 showing off the collection and strength of wrapped boxes:wub::wub::wub:

Where's a good place to pick up some cellophane? Amazon?

hey Old Man, how's it going?  (it looks like these posts got moved to clean up a bare empty site, i guess too many beauty shots.

here's a link to what i ordered from amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M02ASVX/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 anubis20 ordered a roll and it produced great results for him,

if you try it out, let me know how it goes.

To the Mod or mods/admin, i understand moving the collection pictures but i think the thread is helpful tips with taking care of boxes and should either be moved to a maintenance thread or warrant it's own topic. please consider as it's not just display photos but some info.

 

thanks,

Nice collection! I've been getting some of the weathering versions and only want  the Roy VF-1S at this point.  Unfortunately, the Roy VF-1S is proving a bit hard to find for a decent price.

hey hkj711, i'll keep a lookout for you. i see him pop up once in awhile. i know the weathering versions don't come up too often.  did you see ChristopherB's sale's thread? i know it's taken already but he had a roy weathering up for grabs a few days ago.

if i see another roy weathering, i'll pm you:) if you're interested in a Hikaru 1s weathering let me know, i seen one available.

Thanks David! Appreciate your help! Yeah, I saw ChristopherB's sale but I would like to get one complete with a box. As for Hikaru, I already picked one up at Jungle a little while ago so I'm good there! Thanks again and please keep posting pics of your amazing collection!

I agree! All weathering versions are expensive now, decent price for those models is almost impossible!

Impressive collection David! I'm planning to wrap boxes with wrap plastic film and I can leave the one side of the box open to remove the tray/valkyrie

Many thanks to David for the recommendation on which cellophane wrap to use. I had tried this before and got a roll from Michaels but it was super thin and tore with nothing. I started wrapping some boxes last night, it really helped with my 1A Hikaru box. Im gonna do some more tonight, im starting with whatever i have handy, other stuff is buried deep in the closet :lol:

Sharing a few random pics I took while messing with a new backdrop. :) Just need to iron out the folds from shipping.

*snips*

Would you know if a low heat iron takes out those wrinkles? Bought a cheap vinyl background to goof off with but couldn't figure out how to get rid of the wrinkles.

You and me both. 

Many of you guys have very impressive collections. Makes me wish I had gotten into Macross earlier, back when the price of those 1/60s wasn't so high. Plus I just don't have the storage space. (Two reasons why I'm loving the HMR line.)

Hello,

Long time lurker, occasional poster, anyway, after a bad patch, picked collection a new, thought I'd share my small re-collection. 1st photo have 1/48 VF-1J which I still love with an Arcadia 1/60 VF-1S & VF-0D. Then Arcadia YF-19 with HMR Regult & Milia ;) the moon is some light I bought on sale thought it would give a neat affect at night.
