1/60 scale carrier deck diorama display for macross toys

[wjrmonkey]

Anyone saw this set on TaoBao? The guy made them himself. It's really 1/72 scale but it works equally well with 1/60 macross valks. Looks pretty impressive.

Nice, i think it can work well withe the VF-1s but for the 0s it's a bit too small...I would buy one if had enough room to display it though.

[wjrmonkey]

these are not kits and they come finished and ready for display. And this guy also makes the carrier elevator.

Very cool!

Cool, the aircraft hangar and other sets are neat as well.

I’ve never used Taobao before. Any insight? These are incredibly cool.

So the elevator set is sold out. The carrier deck A+B+C+D retails for around USD $380 plus taxes but international shipping might cost another approx $100 to the U.S. in my experience. The seller need to make them so there is a 30-day waiting time before shipment. Taobao offers warehouse storage, repackaging and shipping to the U.S.

Nice to know that Taobao offer such service.

Do they also do packages consolidation? Combining multiple packages from different sellers into one package to ship to us.

[wjrmonkey]

Yes. Taobao does that. But they can hold everything for you for only 20 days before a daily rental fee kicks in and in one order you may not make more than 20 items (individual purchases). Also there are a myriad of forbidden items not allowed to ship: weapons or miniature replicas, batteries, shampoo, resin models, anti-communist propoganda items, etc. 

For something like this I wouldnot consider grouping them with anything else.  There is also a maximum package box dimension requirement.

Think I will wait and see if Calibre WIngs comes up with something...

Just saw the Calibre Wings 1/72 moving elevator diorama set is coming. That's so cool! Price not bad either.
