After finally seeing both the Yamato and Toynami attempts at making a valkyrie toy I couldn't resist but give my Lego version another try.

(...) I agree, the tabs do add a presence to the head by framing it. I would have liked to modelled the tabs in but at the size I built this thing there were serious real estate issues on the model. Internally every stud needed to be used to make (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Thanks for the compliments every one! :) (...) As far as tips go I simply recommend a lot of tinkering and experimentation on the way parts are used. Nothing beats that. This past month I've had nice long expanses of time on the weekends to tinker. (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Yeah, I'll be bringing it if I make it to the meeting. I'll probably bring my other stuff too. I know LUGOLA is pretty much the place to be for mecha. Not to mecha stuff is being built in NELUG or the East coast for that matter. sun (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

If I continue making a lot of Macross models I will probably get stickers professionally produced with die-cuts and all. I have uniforms for most of (...)

You have built the Holy Grail of all mecha! This model is very, very nice. I have always dreamed of seeing a transforming Robotech Valkyrie made of Lego, but didn't think it was possible. Wow, great work, and you did it in my favorite scale (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jul-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
