VA-4pic40

Macross has always been one of my favorite anime series, so  I built my own model out of Legos.  This is an original design that I have called the VA-4 Peregrine.  It transforms between Fighter, Gerwalk, and Battroid modes. In  Gerwalk or Guardian mode (for the Robotech fans) it has ratcheting thrust nozzles, ball joint ankles, ratcheting knee and hip joints, ball joint shoulders and elbows, retracting hands (one of my favorite features) rotating wrists and fingers, an opening cockpit with interior controls, and built in missile launchers, laser and beam cannons. The model took about a month to perfect, and a second month to finish all of the optional equipment.  Side view of the standard Gerwalk mode.
