Has anyone got any posable Mech Models they are willing to share?  I'm 
looking to create a scene with many mechs in it, but as each mech model I do 
takes about 8 hours to produce, I'd like to shortcut the process and borrow 
a few...

I still want to do a Maccross-Valkyrie type mech aome time. But unfortunately 
it will be quite some time before I get around to it.

 Is the Valkyrie one of the "VJ" models?  I ask because I have a mostly done 
( and a bit stumpy looking ) VJ model around somewhere...

I think  the term Valkyrie is actually from Robotech. It's an aircraft that 
transforms into a mech. Are you interested? It's not stumpie, it'll be 
curved, much like an F15.

The Valkyrie is actually a touch stumpy.  It's based on the F-14 Tomcat,
redesigned to allow it to reconfigure.  The term 'Valkyrie' is from
Macross;  in Robotech, the same mecha is referred to as a 'Veritech
Fighter', though there is one time that the translators slipped and called
it a Valkyrie.

Yes, that's the idea. the one I am busy with looks a bit more like something 
between an F15 and an F22. The transformation would be different as well - 
I'm not too crazy about the idea of the pilot sitting in th stomach  ;-p

I still want to buy a macross model sometime... =)
