Mac7 Valkyrie. Keep it real pimp. 🤣

Along the way I have been addressing many of these issues. When the halves mate up well the need for only one screw is possible for either the lower legs and the forearms, amongst other parts. And no additional gluing is needed. Thank you for the compliment.

For now, this is what it looks like. Once I trim the inner backplate and finish massaging the calf it will blend well together.

It actually affords me the opportunity to slim the inner backplate good and proper without distorting or prohibiting it’s function(s). Since the original backplate is very thick, this would have been the reason why the original VF legs are so thin.

Larger calves made a world of difference. I like this much better.

We always need a beautiful bird such as the SR-71 for Thanksgiving. All I get is crabs. 😜 Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Look at all that beautiful detail. The pearlescent white makes the building appear ethereal. Wow.

New leg profile is really looking good. IMHO.

Yes siree they would!

Would really like to see that happen. Are you considering a transformable or static Battroid version?

It’s leg day.

Thank you for inquiring. Found what I was looking for.

Hi All, I am positive there is lineart of this picture with much more detail. Anyone out there have it? I would greatly appreciate it.

Fantastic catch! Congratulations.

AstroMagnumblogspot delivers another great catalog from Savie Toys. This time there is a Hikaru VF-1S (no Strike arts). I don’t think we ever found out who made the 1990 Bootleg VF-1S (Grey or White) Super Valkyrie that was mistakenly recognized as a Strike but had Blue Super Parts, nor the CeppiRatti/Macross versions. This might be a clue. Note the stickers on are now on the inside of the vertical stabilizers. And there are no circular vernier stickers on the chest. Pretty common traits for these particular bootlegs.
