Darth Mingus Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 I am not sure if this has been posted before but this guy build a transforming Valkyrie in lego: http://kaisun1192.blog121.fc2.com/blog-entry-933.html Quote
gwfalcon Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Absolutely amazing! LEGO can build anything, yes anything! Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 How many times must I say Epic Legos are EPIC? Because, man, Epic Legos are EPIC! Quote
Excillon Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I like that. Wish he had a kit list so I could build one. Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I'll say this: It's ass-ugly and has so many parts most people don't, but it's cool, nonetheless. The Minifig scale ones have my heart, but this is pretty cool. Quote
badboy00z Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Is it just me or are a lot of pictures missing? I like the original SK version better. Wish he would release plans for his valks. I gave up on trying to recreate it long time ago. Lol. Quote
M'Kyuun Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) Is it just me or are a lot of pictures missing? I like the original SK version better. Wish he would release plans for his valks. I gave up on trying to recreate it long time ago. Lol. This guy's version is more detailed and colored to match it's inspiration. SK's version is, for all practical purposes, a maquette, designed for testing the mechanics and basic aesthetics. While i'm sure SK could build a much better representation of his valks, LEGO is his tool more than his creative medium, which is fine by me. LEGO is quite simply an excellent constructive medium. While this isn't the cleanest transforming model I've seen, it captures the basic essence pretty well. LEGO, admittedly, is not the easiest medium in which to create transformable mecha...I have a laundry wish list of parts I wish LEGO would make to ease the burden. So, I'm generally impressed when anyone attempts it, and very, very impressed, if not envious as hell, when the final models are clean, feature a complex transformation, and become articulated robots. There are some great models floating around the internet. Many can be found on Brickshelf, with a bit of searching. Some links: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=377751 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=340720 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=298826 Note: My avatar is a pic of a transformable LEGO VF-117 created by GLA-GLA, one of the finest and most enigmatic of LEGO builders. He is well known in LEGO circles for his mecha. He has built several Macross models. His variable Konig Monster was notably exceptional for its clean look and accuracy.

Macross has a nice little niche amongst LEGO fans. Pretty cool. I've got my own mini-fig scale VF-11 and YF-21 in the middle of builder's hell. I need to finish my VF-11. It'll be perfect variable, including the heat shield. These are pics of GLA-GLA's perfect variable LEGO Konig Monster. Edited April 15, 2009 by M'Kyuun Quote

Too bad Lego company is a bunch of stingy, Danish... Damned filter... They refuse to do anything "Militaristic" It makes me wonder why the hell they did the Star Wars series... Quote
