Nice sculpts, any Valkyries yet?

yes. Ral Partha made them back in 1995. they are in Battletech known as Wasp's (IIRC)

there are the 7 deadly Battletech mini's that make up a large portion of the Macross saga. the Shadow hawk, the Maurauder (Zentradi Officer Pod) Warhammer (Regult), the Wasp (Valkerie aka VF-01 Battroid) and several others.

My buddy has the origionals. let us know if you want to see them, he's out of country at the moment but we have the origionals.

Bandai made an entire series of them.

Yeah, I'm firmilar with all of those Out Of Production models, and have a few of them.. none of which are done by Paulson.

Because he is making a bunch of Robotech miniatures, in a line for Robotech, which everyone who has ever seen it knows is based on Macross. A series with an incredibly iconic Mech design. Its only logical that he would be sculpting Valkyries, there is no fething point to making a game based on this series if you only have Zentradi and no one for them to shoot at. Which is why I asked 'Yet?'.

If he was doing this for Gundam and showed a bunch of Zakus in his first post I would have asked about the RX-78.

Anyway...

Paulson, all my money when you get VF-1s.
