This is my first post, and it looks like a mega dump of the progress so far. Follow Haotian Niu or DONW999 on facebook and Instagram for WIP and videos demonstrating mechanisms. Now to the main thing. I know this thing is unpopular, otherwise there would have been Bandai or Yamato/Arcadia toy already. And to be completely honest, I don't think it has any right to be. It looks weird and buffy to say the least. But in a round about way, it also looks kind cute. So I decided to have a go at it. Took me about a 2 weeks to get where I am now, which is most of the transformation mechanism is completed. Studio Experten(http://experten.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/va3/index.html) is a huge inspiration, which I got the links from this forum. Thanks a lot. I cant find any high quality Studio HalfEye version, and yes, I have looked through the achieve, which is the low quality I was talking about. So far, I have replicated the Experten mechanism through their photos, Great, GREAT reference. However I also notice there are quite a few very weak points that requires a lot attention. The printed model is very flimsy at the moment. The torso transformation mechanism has these for swing hinges, that are almost impossible to secure. The hips are on these, in comparison, tiny parts. I can't imagine their 1/100 scale is any more sturdy. Other than those, I also reinforce the wings some and developed the best possible printable ball joints. There are many things that need revision and I can see this would be a long and arduous journey. But I promise you this, I will finish it.

After a long time of deciding if I was still obsessed with the ugly VA-3 I finally decided to print it in 3D. I hope this motivates many who helped me with the model and can do it in better quality, to prove that this ugly valk that many do not like is really interesting. The same is only in combat mode and when it is finished, bonded, sanded and painted I hope to change a lot for the better. It is really big especially for the length of the wings and gave a fight when it was printed. I hope you like it and upload the captures when finished. enjoy it
