borgified Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 That Frontier shelf is totally rammed with valks! Doesn't it look clusterphobic as the entire SMS team (plus Grace) took over 2/3rds of the second shelf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 My downsized Macross collection! From a once 130 strong down to a mere 34.. I do very much get a sense of quality rather than quantity. But most of all I am quite content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh9000 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 @spanner I like that all of the VF-1 Battroids have gun straps. The VF-1D Gerwalk pose with Minmay is cool. So is the VF-1A Cavaliers with Super Parts. Emerald Force is looking great up top. The HMR Monster looks good at the bottom. No more VF-17S/D, VF-25G or YF-21? You didn’t want to keep at least 1 VF-1 from DYRL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah got rid of a lot of others I felt I just didn't need. I'm happy with what's on display. Nahh I have always preferred the TV versions so it was easy to let all the DYRL stuff go. The only thing I kinda regret not having now is a 25A with supers but I do still have the Prophecy with supers which is just as nice!

They are a tight fit for some of the larger Valkyries when in Battroid but they work quite well. If each shelf was a half inch taller it would have been perfect! I have seen a few idea on how to make them more dust proof but haven't tried many. Probably the easiest way to reduce the problem is to not have any carpet in your home! I'd love to rip up all the old carpet in exchange for floor boards! But that's an expense I can't manage atm.. maybe one day. 6 hours ago, sumyumgoy said: Looks beautiful @spanner, nice presentation!

Though he stopped making them a while back now.. The artwork on the bases are just stickers i bought from ebay and had made up. The 30th anniversary are from eBay and the gerwalk since 82 I got a mate of mine to do. They definitely help glam up the cabinets! 5 hours ago, derex3592 said: I've always coveted @spanner's artwork at the bottom of his Klingsbo's -- I need one like that for my Mospeada Klingsbo!

Carpet is filthy so yeah, I definitely recommend anything else but I can tell you I have all wood floors in my house and things still get dusty so it's not an issue of carpets. Dust comes from people, the the air all around and outside so it depends more on your area and how much activity in in your house. Carpet will just collect dust but won't create it.

Yeah it filthy and I hate it.. and yes dust comes from people but also as old carpet breaks down from age and wear it also creates dust particles. I did get some quotes for wood flooring both real and the fake stuff but it was pretty expensive. I don't want to commit to that expense for where I'm living now as I do eventually want to move from here. 7 hours ago, CF18 said: I was going to suggest JYSK Jaala as an alternative but it seems to be just discontinued, and JYSK is not available everywhere like Ikea.

Yeah, probably not worth the cost if you plan on moving soon. If you own and plan to sell on the other hand, might be worth the investment. Good point about carpet possibly breaking up and creating more dust. Main point is, a good sealed cabinet helps to protect your collection. My details is full of dust, my billy with glass doors and no seal is pretty dust free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xigfrid Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I received this F14 commissionned custom. The original was the infamous corgi F-14D because of its quality and lack of details but it really scale well with the arcardia Zero valks. It was fotographed next to the VF-0B, probably the closest fighter to the F14 in Macross VF program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to have one of them fly inverted over the other plane... and photoshop the inverted plane's pilots giving the other plane the finger... and taking Polaroids.
