Been working on the valk and launch arm on and off (during downtime or at night) for almost a year. Just got the weapons set in so I could finally finish it.
Launch arm and base were scratchbuilds of my own design to mimic the launch arms in DYRL, the base is kind of a "slice" of the ARMD carrier. I molded them and cast them in resin because i need a few. The boom arm is cast with metal rod throughout for strength and the valk has a reinforcement plate added with a machine screw holding the valk on the launch arm, disguised as the umbilical.
Valk is painted in a more anime style with very few decals, lots of drybrushing and stuff to try to make it look like the old IMAI and Arii box art.
thanks
