NO MARK!!!! You should DEFINITELY give it a try. Doing the valkyrie has
always been my "Holy Grail" project since I was a kid. If there's more
people taking a stab at the project, the closer we get to a really good
design. I'm still cringe at the big valk I did.

The StarScream is awesome!!! I was thoroughly impressed by it when I saw
it. With that kind of benchmark in place, I think your attempt at a
valkyrie design will be awesome.

I've done a couple of things to improve the looks further. I extended the
nose two studs and made the overall profile a bit sleeker. The paint job is
much more accurate now that I have more gray pieces. I also added black and
yellow trim so it looks like Roy Folker's valkyrie from Robotech. The armor
is almost done.

That would be cool, after you attempt the valkyrie of course!

The valkyrie is actually done. The white, red, and blue ones are halfway
there and will be finished as soon as I get more pieces. I'm also been
thinking about doing a Jetfire paint scheme. The good thing about these
smaller valks is it's easy to make multiples of them. :)
As soon as I finish these little valks, I'm definitely gonna take another
stab at the big valk. I look forward to your design and whoever else is
planning on giving it a try.

I cringed because mine wasn't that good (and the bits that were good looked like I was copying yours -- I wanted to go back and redo it and make it look more original).

In fact, I was so impressed that I gave up working on my own (I had started working on one just before you posted your first teaser pics) and since mine didn't look as good, I started working on a couple of other projects instead.
