Yes I would say it is a keeper for me. Got mines today. Minor paint issues. Nice tight joints. The hands are awesome. Unable to get one wing to lock onto cotpit in battloid mode. I face my gun the opposite way so I do not have to remove the clip. This is much better than the VF-1 MPC. Only two design flaws: (1) Landing gear to short which makes chest drag (2) Arm missiles only show half way. Engineering should have caught those. a dragging chestplate... man I think the whole part of the body is completely wrong. Shouldn't the chestplate be detractable and level up with the lower part (his X) Sorry to whine so much but: the one who is responsible for the model sure did his job without enough love.

that is possible... thank god only the head is different. according to this pic the wingsare anhedral.

Well atthe end this is all free. The only problem is to make a manual... which is very time consuming. Update: Wings are foldable en uses pegs to get it straight and tighten in fightermode. I forgot to make a flap (see orange marking) which should hold and tighten the lot in soldier mode by inserting the flap between the bodypart and cockpit. The wing is cut out rough and I didn't glued it on the body in case of any problems with the joint of the arm. But anyway when I hold down my fingers on it, the whole wing is likely to be solide as a rock. It may seem that the wing bends a littleseen from the frontview but thats corresponding to the sketches.

Woohoo! Soon we will get transformable alpha and valks! press the red button for battroid mode -
that one is finished... but it's only fightermode. I'm building a real transformable model with propiate manual in the future. another update: this time i use metal wire to twist and tighten the upper bodypart. Since the upper part only rotates.. it doesn't need to be elastic. The model itself is a little smaller than the 1/35 and difficult to work with but > with a larger scale even my 7 year old nephew can build it. this time i use white.. since i dont want to run out of black ink.. (notice i've just scratched something that should be an intake.. blehh )
-
Another update. I use a common rubber band to use it as a connection to the body. I made thin cuts on the upperleg for fighter and soldier mode. Put something inthe leg to hold the rubber band, put a paper cylinder in the body where the elastic band goes through the centre of it.. tighten up the lot. It works great! Oh I forgot 1 thing... the body plate chest is retracktable!
-
Now with upperleg... very solid joint construction in all modes. I've use paper that bends in/outwards for retracting. Kneecap is movable and tight with use of pegs. Upperleg retract deep inside just like the sketches. length of the whole leg is correct.! Eureka!
-
Oh please don't misunderstand... I'm not asking why you are doing this... I'm just expressing my astonishment in your abilities to put this thing together in paper AND make it transform... simply incredible. ow hehe... blush blush* I used to get A's for craftwork at highschool.
-
The reason I do this is because I recently became a hardcore Mospeada fan and reason 2: I'm fustrated why toy designers are so inaccurate!
-
Here's a nice update: I've builded 1 lower leg for transformation testing and it succesfully passed the test! As you can see, the heel doesn't retract... but thats not a big problem The dotted lines seems to be good for cosmetic purpose... it looks like nails. (Ahum... Toynami suck my paper lollypop)

Actually there is arm mechanics in the line art, and it was shown in at least one episode. hmm ill check it when im finished dl.. It seems to be the two shockabsorbers for thefrontwheel bike thatactually connected to the armshields right?
-
Yeah it was kind of strange with the girl... aka queen..hehe There was 1episode where they use the ride armor for moving rocks... which is kinda strange cause there are no mechanical joints for arms. They must have lot's of power like superman to move those rocks.
-
haha... I can't see the differencebetween those 2 except there is "diecast". I'm still dissapointed with the toes... sideways it looks more like an inbit.
-
After watching the horrific alpha (my opinion) I'm currently working on version 2 of the transformable paper legioss. This time i use antoher technique for joints, no holes required... just folds. here's the status: Many thanks to Sergio Da Silva for drawing that high res pic of an legioss in different views. I need to do the hands and the arm joints and i'm ready to export.
-
Soon my paper model will rule! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHH!!!!
-
Nice collection! (Please heal the red legioss )
-
so wrong...
-
At least it doesnt have crablike exhausts..
-
OMG those toes in fightermode look so wrong.. andthe kneecap should cover the whole upperleg part. wasn't there enough room to fit deeper in it? 1 - 0 for Gakken
-
Detail pic is hard to take unless someone has some decent digi camera. I try with mine, it did not come out too well. As for hatch, there are few places where it might be feasible, but, why take a guess already. Actually, I posted something elase on this forum and cyclone came out better on that photo. Click here for the photo Clcik here I thought it should be more like a cubic form? Is it stored in the radar compartement or in the leg?
-
I just press my thumb on an intake cover and slide it off. But sometimes I get annoyed the fact that the intakecovers are loose parts so I usually let them stay in fighter mode.

Kinda OT. Da World's LARGEST joint has been found.

the only thing they do is to defeat themselves rather than an opponement... that's boring -
OMG that looks great!
