nightmareB4macross Posted April 13, 2009 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightmareB4macross Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 nightmareB4macross, AWESOME Orguss mate! :lol: Thanks.

This is a wonderful idea. Will it maybe happen NMB4M? Or perhaps a 1/60 kit would be wowsers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightmareB4macross Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share 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.

nightmareB4macross Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share 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!

nightmareB4macross Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share 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.
