1/12 VF-1 Cockpit plus custom Pilot Hikaru

After a long hiatus with my nanoblocks, my love for Macross and this building system has returned with a vengeance. After creating a couple of 1/12 custom characters Roy, Minmay and Hikaru I started feeling that I needed a cool way to display them, and decided to create a figma scaled cockpit.

Please enjoy this little gallery:

Control wise this has both combinations for the HOTAS TV and Movie version, but I will remove the center one for Movie version display.

And finally pics with my custom Hikaru Ichijo figure:

VF-1J Armored Valkyrie

To complete my original Superdimension Macross and celebrate that I have been having fun with the Hi-Metal R version of Bandai I have decided to tackle this Valk.

I always like to mix the missiles and micro missiles boxes.

but lets prepare the battroid for the main event:

And lets Put the armored Grenade Box Protection

Lets take some group photo

Nanoblock YF-19 Macross Plus

I am afraid to anounce that in good cannon fodder fashion I had to sacrifice my VF-11C in order to create this bird, it was a dificul process but I think it is a good upgrade from my ver. 1.

Under carriage

Plus now it is fully transformable so take a look.

Still full Gerwalk is akward as anyother representation of this valk

Transformable Nanoblock Valkyrie VF-11C

I have become a fan of making transformable Valks in Nanoblock, I have found that even with the limited variety of pieces Nanoblocks are really versatile. 

Gerwalk came along well for this cannon fodder.

In order to give the anime look I had to create an exchangeable cockpit shield piece in the right color.

;p my valk fleet is starting to look busy.

VF-1S Nanoblock Transformable valkyrie made of nanoblock.

After the effort with the SDF-1 I gain confidence in the idea of a transformable valk would be possible with nanoblock, as one fellow macross fan called it in the Macross World forums it is my ultimate pocket nano valkyrie.

Undercarriage is also not that messy and the transformation will be familiar to anybody that has handled a VF-1

The core valkyrie is simple and works using the ball joint system by nanoblock, and can achieve full transformation as seen in the following pictures.

And now for the main part of this set, the Strike pack so we can go into battle with all those zentraedi.

And of course transformation can be achieve with the strike parts.
