I found an old Spartan destroid model kit at the bottom of my storage boxes the other day. The wife is bugging me to finish up some of the kits I have before I get any new ones. So I deciding to start this one. Now I used to play the old Palladium Robotech RPG game. We were crazy into that game, we actually built map boards using N scale model railroad buildings and scenery with figurines. I'm a little nuts with my figurine modeling too, because I can't leave them in the as cast poses. So I'm always cutting them up to repose them, adding details and weapons. I would even have three seperate figurines for my valks for the different modes that they where in. In the fighter mode I would attach them to the figurine base with a piece of wire or clear rod, and landscape the base too.

Anyways, in the game, I had a Special Forces platoon of modified Spartans that had the guns removed from the front of the torso, and exclusively used the GU 11 gun pods from Valkyries. The bay in the center torso was converted to hold extra clips for the gun pods. My questions are:

1. does anyone make a GU 11 gun pod in a weapons set or seperate in a 1/72 scale ?

2. Does anyone make a poseable hand for 1/72 mecha ?

In my original designs, for the game, the Spartans where converted to have the Valkyrie hands anyways for better dexterity to operate the gun pods, and hand to hand combat. I know this doesn't exactly follow canon, but this was for a game, which expanded the Macross/Robotech timeline.

Hi,

I have an extra gunpod and some mecha hands you could have. Let me dig it up for you. Where do you live?
