Any compliment is greatly appreciated no matter who it comes from. 😜

Damn, that looks great. Almost as good as me. 🤣

It has teeth?!?! Why? 🤣

The magnets are doing a great job of keeping the legs connected. So much weight has been added to this 1/55 due to so many modifications. But still, there is more to do.

Those details look phenomenal.

That’s a really clean set up. what does the work space look like?

I don’t know if any Valkyrie manufacturer is ready for this. 😜

Hand and fist.

If I didn’t know any better, I would say you are hitting on me. 😂

Holy Hand Mods Batman!! Never a fan of slat covers to keep the hands hidden. According to line art the fingers are always shown. They just appear as slats due to shadows from the housing when the fists are stowed.

I should add, it’s best to keep your empty jars to make goop for any project or repair. - Left PW with chopped up feet parts from 1/55 - Center PW - Right PW with chopped up bits of ABS and Styrene. This is a good blend that also adheres to metal. FYI. The hand in this pic has it on the back to increase its girth. Once it dries I sand it to shape and ready for prime and paint.

Thanks. I use two: 1. Tamiya Putty Basic Type for fine filling fine lines and scratches. 2. Plastruct Weld with ABS and Styrene scrap all turned into filler and strengthening bonds. Just be careful with this as it does take a day or three to cure depending on how much you apply. But once it on, it stays on.

@Papa Rat that FFS kit came out great!! Still need to work on the shoulders, hand slider, and the other hand for improved articulation. Little bit little it keeps getting there.

I wonder what the actual height will be. DX doesn’t mean 1/60. Just like HMR does not mean 1/100. let the entertainment begin.

Reshaping 3P MP hands. The material is really strong and works well with this scale.

1/55 project is still alive.

That is unfortunate, but I must say for a toy produced in the mid 80’s to finally break is pretty darn good. Post a thread in the want section. It might help source what you need. Good luck.

I think this the same one. Always great to see more information coming through to this day.

It was Hikaru’s trainer before the VF-1D. This shown Macross Episode 1, around Joon of 1983. 😜

Far related Macross stuffs.

Before you begin. Make sure the blue leg locks located above the heels are positioned as if the legs were to lock the legs together in fighter mode. If these parts are tucked away the recessing function will not allow the ankle to collapse. Pull the out the feet as far as the can go. Pivot the toe front to back and then push the heels in. It might take a couple of attempts as the parts are very tight. It works. Trust the process.

Ravenous Bird Mode!

I fear this gun won’t make it beyond ten years before it starts to fall apart in similarity to plastics used with gold accessory GI Joes. Sure hope to be wrong about this. Would rather have had it in grey plastic with gold paint. Sure the paint will wear but it might be more resilient over time.
