Pat S Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 It's got a weird stance, http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~ij8t-kbym/macross/sv51/sv51.html Quote
Grayson72 Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 I like the cockpit being exposed in battroid mode, that's sweet! Quote
macplus Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 (edited) Very nice but the paint scheme kinda sucks, also why the mono eye is pink?? the SV-51 is no Saku! Edited September 19, 2004 by macplus Quote
Pat S Posted September 19, 2004 Author Posted September 19, 2004 Yeah, I think he could have chosen better colors. Quote
Mallet21 Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 Consider the source....this this the same group (Anti-UN) that flies around in pink aircraft. Quote
Gerwalker Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 couldn't help this: look at its face!! It's taking a crap...camp style!! I like the open cockpit though... Quote
bsu legato Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Nice conversion. It's too bad the pose is so....boring. Quote
Skypoet Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 This proves that the SV51 can be mass-produced as a perfect variable toy or model! Yeah! Quote
Skypoet Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Totally unbelievable!... The guy who made the conversion mus have spent 100 hours on it!!! (I understand why I don't anymore build models even though I love these forums!) Quote
Final Vegeta Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 This proves that the SV51 can be mass-produced as a perfect variable toy or model! Actually, it seems legs are artificially shortened. Also there is no proof joints are sturdy enough for transformation. FV Quote
rnurmin Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Did any of you guys notice that the legs need to be rotated for battroide mode? In the fighter mode, you only see one fin nozzle on top and two fin nozzles in the bottom. Quote
Skypoet Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 ... True! The lower leg has to rotate 180 degrees during gerwalk-battroid conversion! Notice one thing: in episode 3, when DD tries to make his way into the aircraft carrier azuka, he "stores" his gun, in battroid mode, on the outer side of his left leg (so that when transforming into fighter mode, the gun gets on the inner side of his two legs). I don't think that the modeller made his conversion to becompletely articulate, it must be mainly static in my opinion. I think that by adding some metal, this kit could have strong joints... The old "arii" VF1 that I built when I was around 13 still is in good shape 15 years later after many transformations, and it's mainly plastic... Quote
Graham Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 Very interesting. Those pics deserve some serious study. I'm a big SV-51 fan. Graham Quote
Dobber Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 Did any of you guys notice that the legs need to be rotated for battroide mode?In the fighter mode, you only see one fin nozzle on top and two fin nozzles in the bottom. Yup, I realized that when I built my SV-51. However, the legs don't rotate for Gerwalk mode...just Battroid mode. Thus, I think this makes it impossible for the SV-51 to transform to or out of Battroid mode while on the ground, unlike the VF-0 or VF-1. That could be bad in a pinch for the pilot. Chris Quote

I think the hip joint could stretch the leg on the side while the leg rotates. Anyway, the SV-51 has VTOL, it has two fans under the pilot shield so on the ground it should be easier to transform than the VF-0. FV Quote
