Hey Guys.. just wanna share my New Display Theme for this year.. Last year, i basically showcased figures that i like from each line. Actually other than macross and anime figures, i've been collecting other lines from Joes, to TF mechas.. to western toys etc.. This year, i've been contemplating at ...

thank you Bastien and Lancer for the vote of confidence :D i started working on this project three days ago.. i had the chance to work on this yesterday from morning 'til i dozed off earlier.. here's my first progress pictures.. basically worked on the ships main body (center part) and the bridge.....

Hey guys, it's been over a week since i finished my second project build.. but even before it's completion, i was already planning on doing my third major project.. a 4 feet long MACROSS DRYL SDF-1.. it's quite an ambitious build, that i'm not even sure if i could actually do it.. but anyways, since...

thanks you guys for appreciating.. it was a quite an exhausting build, with me working mostly on unholy hours because of my "eagerness" to get it done as soon as possible..

catching up with the version 2 1/60 VF-1 and the missing Macross plus valkyrie:

Spent the entire day working on.. - finishing the ceiling.. and installing it on all 3 partitions - cable management - final placement of LEDs and Rotating Platform.. so.. here's my Scratch-Build Macross Armored Factory and Maintenance Bay!!! ( just placed both 1/60 destroid and focker and a few cre...

then came the part i hated most... cable management... apparently the back portion still has to be covered.. but before that i need to organize all the wirings and sockets.. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3662/3636930131_9c43293e0d.jpg i used 3 separate power sources for the electrical components: h...

Got an advise that i'll be on field work starting this weekend.. so decided to devote my time for the past two days finishing this project.. First i made some changes on some parts: Change my first design of holder for the rotating platform and motor.. the second design didn't prove to be stable eno...

thanks gran-steak :) UPDATES got home early today so i had a chance to continue working on this project.. i started continuing on my boom lift truck s.build... salvaged my old tamiya mini 4wd racer's wheels and my spare 1/48 decals for the boom part :D also opted not to follow color as show in refe...

guys thank you for the kind words, i appreciate all the comments... it makes me even more eager at completing this project as soon as possible.. so here's another quick update.. i had 3 straight days off from regular work (idependence day last friday, and no sideline audit engagement since saturday)...

HERE'S HOW IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN PUT TOGETHER ( Just a mock up combination of all 3 parts).. it's about 95% Completed right now, just need to place more minute details on some part.. clean some paint smudges especially on the sides of Gate no 1., installing of LEDs and cleaning of wires. With Scale 1/4...

Started installing electrical wires on all three partitions the other night... used "Ribbon wire type" for hooking up most of the electrical components.. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3359/3618101433_024a24eb86.jpg it's a cluster of 16 wires actually.. but could be split into a number of ...

Finished installing of base for all 3 partitions.. I first thought of following the koto chain base (removable base and wall) but with the kind of material being used for this project, i thought it's a better idea to have the base permanently attached to the wall.. I also Decided to make a side wall...

From the project planning, i already intended to animate some of the base section, one of them is the gantry platform section.. i intended to only use the those ready made rotating stands being sold at our local Malls, but unfortunately just when i needed it, i couldn't fine them!! then few days ago...

Pardon me again guys, I can only speak English other than my native languages.. It was early last year when i discovered using the Kotobukiya Mechanical Chain base coupled with Hasegawa ground crew kit as a good alternative for creating a diorama display for Valkyries. I was able to come up with a c...

ohh... this is something i got to look forward to! i bet this will look way better than my chain base's stock look!

ohh ... c'est quelque chose que j'ai obtenu à l'horizon! Je parie que ce sera bien meilleur que mon stock de la base de la chaîne d'oeil! : D

thanks a lot Ratatarse for the info... depending on the extent of modification and the surplus time i'll get. I may have to try and do a major modification on the old GBP armor, a friend of mine will be more than willing enough to help me on this project, but for now, i am focusing more on finishing...

odr78: thanks sir.. yup, i'll be experimenting on mounting the V1 GBP Armor to it, otherwise, i will have to opt at using the V1 Armored VF-1 together with the 1/60 Yamato Destroid for my ongoing 1/60 Macross Armored Factory Build. odr78: merci monsieur .. yup, je vais expérimenter le montage de la ...

getting started with the new 1/60 valkyries:
