Just haven't gotten around to listing them yet. Both the Kaiyodo/Movic ones (full series 1&2), and some Bandai Fighter Collection stuff.

spacemanspiff Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) So this beaut showed-up today. I'm impressed, but wish it was bigger (I think my wife said the same thing to me). The detail is amazing! Just Amazing! This is the 1/3000 scale SDF-1 Macross Premuim Finish perfect transformation toy/piece. I haven't even transofrmed it yet, I just enjoy looking at it!

spacemanspiff Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 I finally transformed this beast! Very intuitive, but tricky with the thin shoulder canons and bridge antenna. Also, started adding all the screw covers. They really add some nice detail to an already great piece. The 1/250 figters are a bit too big on the SDF-1 (as expected), but they'll make a nice addition to the display area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacemanspiff Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 After some fun research and fun ebaying, I found these very small VF pencil sharpeners. They can be taken apart and have the smallest VF toy I've been able to find. Pics below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanity is Optional Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) These might work: https://www.shapeways.com/product/AARYR8L25/vf-1-valkyrie-x15-fud?optionId=64688380&li=marketplace 1/1250 scale, so only about 2.5x the size they ought to be. I'd suggest going for the "fine detail plastic".

Smiley424 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I know you already got the PF Arcadia, but I also wanted to mention the Master Made Super Deformed DYRL SDF-1. It's sold out now and I'm not sure what the prices for it are still this time. Still one of my favorites. Makuros! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacemanspiff Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 It's been awhile since posting some progress on this guy. . . I've finally added all the littel screw covers and snap-in bits. There is so much great detail in this piece. Here is the beast in a flying pose with a pencil eraser topper VF-1J in gerwalk mode to try and scale with it. Also pictured is the glorious DX VF-1J. I placed some Diaclone pilots to scale with the DX VF-1J. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemanspiff Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 I also added the background to the city part. I got the background from wm cheng .
