Hey all,

I finally got some pictures up of my Robotech Valkyrie/Veritech that I was
working on.  I modelled the transformation around a Takatoku/Bandai toy that
was produced in the mid 80's.

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=990

I had a couple goals in mind when I started this project:

First, that it transformed like the toy.
Second that it would be close to minifig scale.

I think I've met these goals but I'm not completely satisfied with the way it
turned out.  At least I know that the transformation is feasible to some
degree.  I hope to redo this model sometime in the future with better overall
proportions.  I'd be great if I could shrink it a bit so I can have a couple
of these.  Removable battle armor would be icing on the cake.

Well, let me know what you guys think.
