Just wanted to share one of my projects for 2013. I have it on Lego Cuusoo and was hoping some of you would like it enough to give it your support.
One of my most favorite things as a child was the animation called Robotech (originally known as Macross)!
The only Robotech/Macross related toys I had was a G1 Transformers Jetfire and a Matchbox SDF-1. I never had all the toys when I was a kid, so naturally when I got older I started buying the ones I never had and always wanted:)
I recently managed to create a fully transformable Macross VF-1S Valkyrie toy/action figure using 100% existing LEGO pieces:
I know this isn't the first ever LEGO Valkyrie, and I know of the existing project on Cuusoo that already has 6k+ support (which I am also supporting :)).
I feel that my design is a lot closer to the actual toys that were released as part of the original Macross toy line. I've based this model on the old 1/55 scale Valkyries from the 80's
My Lego VF-1S compared with Bandai 1/55 VF-1S re-issue.
Fighter Mode
Gerwalk Mode w/ Super Parts
Battroid Mode
FInally, check out a video I made of this models transformation sequence!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sjmQcSU9i4
I'm currently only at 82 support right now, but I will not give up hope lol. I am constantly working on improving this LEGO creation and I am already working on GBP-1S Armor for it.
Anyway thanks so much for taking the time to read my post. Any feedback or suggestions is much appreciated! If you like my project, then please support it at: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/39360
