nightmareB4macross Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 While sifting through some stuff in my garage this weekend, I came a cross a complete junk 1/40 Takatoku Orguss that I bought for about $20.00 a year ago, also a $2.00 1/48 that I won from ebay a couple of months ago, and thought to myself...I remember a joke from the animators of SDFMacross and SDOrguss. And the punchline never left my mind. So in about a day I cam up with this. Ha, ha, ha...this joke never gets old.
macross1979 Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 nightmareB4macross, AWESOME Orguss mate! :lol:
nightmareB4macross Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 nightmareB4macross, AWESOME Orguss mate! :lol: Thanks. I'll be finishing this off later and adding paint and a few other details. Should look more like this when I'm done.
miriya Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 NMB4M, That is just super cool! I have always wanted a toy of this. Can you make a conversion kit? Or maybe post instructions on how to do the mod?
miriya Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 By the way, Cool Dia De Los Muertos stuff. (Spelling?)
macross1979 Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Thanks. I'll be finishing this off later and adding paint and a few other details. Should look more like this when I'm done. Man...that is going to be super cool. NMB4M, That is just super cool! I have always wanted a toy of this. Can you make a conversion kit? Or maybe post instructions on how to do the mod? This is a wonderful idea. Will it maybe happen NMB4M? Or perhaps a 1/60 kit would be wowsers!
MechTech Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Remember, it gets blasted to pieces in the anime Looks cool! - MT
nightmareB4macross Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 Thanks guys. I'll post picks when I begin to take it apart and begin details and paint. The legs actually ratchet and hold the Jotun very well and stable. As far as a conversion kit goes, not likely. You really need to use the lower legs of an actual 1/40 Orguss due to the metal parts located through out. I didn't really have to fabricate anyting. Both the 1/48 and the 1/40 fit very well with each other. I'll post more pics when I begin the dismantle. MechTech, at least this time, the explosion will be bigger and louder.
Roy Focker Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Jotun? Is that an official name or some kinda Robotech fan fiction name?
eugimon Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 so awesome. Can't wait to see the break down and build up.
Ginrai Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Jotun is a Robotech fan fiction name from the Unofficial Robotech Reference Guide people.
nightmareB4macross Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 Jotun is a Robotech fan fiction name from the Unofficial Robotech Reference Guide people. Jotun is Robotech indeed, but I prefer this name to "Orguss Valkyrie."
macross1979 Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Jotun is Robotech indeed, but I prefer this name to "Orguss Valkyrie." Jotun does have a nice ring to it.
Ginrai Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Jotun does have a nice ring to it. The ring it has to me is a fat guy named Joe! Hahaha.
macross1979 Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 The ring it has to me is a fat guy named Joe! Hahaha. That kills me!
MechTech Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Bigger bang!? Was the disassembly going to be with an M-80? -MT
macross1979 Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Bigger bang!? Was the disassembly going to be with an M-80? -MT Either that or he's building it with an explosive inside it and when the day comes.....BOOM!
miriya Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Either that or he's building it with an explosive inside it and when the day comes.....BOOM! I hope not. I think it is display worthy. Dont get me wrong, I am all for blowing up toys but not really nice ones like this.
big F Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 So when are you gonna cast it so we cal all blow one up.
nightmareB4macross Posted February 23, 2010 Author Posted February 23, 2010 UPDATE.... The weapon was screwed up yesterday due to the overly-humid conditions, that's why it is sitting in a bath of Simple Green. Other than that, this Orguss valkyrie is a GO!
505thAirborne Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Looks awesome nightmareB4macross! Love the picture in the Hangar bay with all four Cockpits!
miriya Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 WOW!!! I love this 10 times more now that it is all painted! I hope to see it in person this way at macrossworld-con-2010. Can you post more pics of that diorama? I wanna see!

hirohawa Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Here you go. Great work. Cool hanger! When are you gonna make the 1/48 two seaters?
nightmareB4macross Posted February 23, 2010 Author Posted February 23, 2010 Great work. Cool hanger! When are you gonna make the 1/48 two seaters? PM me.
nightmareB4macross Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 Just adding a list of items used in making this custom build. *Sorry about the grainy pic.
RDClip Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Quite cool. Never thought i'd see someone make a Orguss Valk
miriya Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Can you post some pics of it in the other modes? Thanks for the list by the way!
nightmareB4macross Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) Thanks guys for your suppport. It has taken me about a year to complete only because I had a complete lack of time. Other than that, it is a pretty straight forward custom. I will be getting a Milia in soon and do a complete build up with a second Orguss donor I have lying around. _________________ As far as transforming goes, I think I will save that for this year's MWCon.

MechTech Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 SCHAWEET mod! You have really taken an inside joke and made it cool! - MT
TheLoneWolf Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 That's the most original custom I've ever seen, great work NB4M!
