Maiden Japan Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I got inspired from the sketches from Shoji Kawamori's Macross design book. It's one of early design of gunpod, and I thought it will be cool to have Valkyrie to have a different type of weapon other than standard gunpod. It is full scratch built, but I used a handle grip and a tip of barrel from the original toy Later I'm going to mold this and have some painted. If anybody interested in this piece please give me a PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valhary Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 cool idea always thought that considering the prototypes the election of the official gunpod was the worst i like more this if you do this in 1/60 let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicker773 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Like the ZETA Gun or PG or VF22S Long beam rifle lol.. problem is how would the valk hold it... bazooka style perhaps? With multiple open hatches with missiles in it just like the GBP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
