Sun,

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.

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.

I think since you're not completely satisfied, you should give it to me • and
I'll make sure you don't have to worry about it.  ;^)

Considering the technical difficulties present in creating anything that
transforms, I think you did a remarkable job.

Indeed. I took my Autobot Jetfire apart numerous times to see how it
transformed, and to see it replicated in Lego is simply awesome. Remarkable
job! : )

If you don't feel like giving it to Mark, I will galdly accept it! ; )
