Kotobukiya Mechanical Chain Base
I saw these ages ago like a year i reckon and thought they were really versatile at the time, then completely forgot about them.
Remember about these about a fortnight ago when i was thinking about making either a Macross or Gundam hanger.
Bought the best 3 i could find on ebay and use up some money i had from selling off a few bits.
Think with a lick of paint and some detail i could have a really nice diorama if i put some effort into it.
Cool old painting from the 80's Imai model kits, be more Valkyrie based than armor. Love the old Macross box art.

Hey! I just got 4 of these too! Wanted to used them as background for phototaking. I'm thinking of spraying them. These are definitely cool!
Really retro the box art. Do update us after you colored it.
i bought some of these too, although i think the bases were sold packaged with ARII fighters, also other versiosn with Macross fighters?/

Paper craft is awesome, seen a few things from it which would be used with my models.
Was thinking of making some with plasticard instead of paper for little dioramas.
