007-vf1 Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 (edited) UPDATE...!!! August 15th 2004 Now 99% done. Sorry it's been these long but summer takes all of my free time on "fun" stuff. I just have to wait for a couple of decals coming from england and complete the small lights and beacons all the main job is practically done.. ****** July 15 2004 Hi again dudes and dudetes; I have heard many times if it was possible to use the bandai and hasegawa models to create a gerwalk mode out of them both. Well, using as references pictures from the hobby japan and dengeky hobbie magazines I realize that to get the best of both worlds 3 kits might have to be used. the hasegawa battroid, fighter and the arm system of the bandai. Take in acocunt that i didn't use any special attachment or poly joints for the model with exception of the shoulder joint. Eventually this model will carry the fast packs which are 85% done and will also acomodate the unoficial gerwalk armor...which fulcy is working on for the 1/48 scale.. Without much ado, the preview pics... Edited August 8, 2004 by 007-vf1 Quote
007-vf1 Posted June 7, 2004 Author Posted June 7, 2004 (edited) This model have a ot of play and posseability but some compromises had to be done to increase the effect; -The back pack can be opened and closed and the legs moved/ slid backwards in a way to imitate mid transformation. -All fast packs are removable... -The main exaust/truster (feet) can't close, like in fighter position. -To make the arms swing back and under the legs have to be removed... -Hasegawa rocks!!..but they should have made a convertion kit. I can tell it wouldn't have been that difficult.. Edited August 8, 2004 by 007-vf1 Quote

Angel's Fury Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Great custom!!!I´ll patiently sit and wait for the final pictures Ditto!!! Quote
007-vf1 Posted July 11, 2004 Author Posted July 11, 2004 I like the way its coming along...I believe..or at least i want to believe; this is the very first gerwalk of the Minmay guard done this way on a hasegawa the fast packs are a bit heavy and it can't stand under it's own weight for the time being...I will adjust that later..

ChristopherB Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 Wonderful job! I've always wanted to make a gerwalk Hasegawa, and it's nice to see that you took the initiative to do, what some of us have only imagined. I'm looking forward to seeing it completed. Quote
