VE-1 Elintseeker Gerwalk – Only took 17 years, 4 months, 30 days – but it’s done!
My first post about this kit was September 16, 2007 when I unboxed and started with a test fit. Fast forward another 7 years to April 2015 for another attempt, this time changing from a straight aircraft build to the Gerwalk. And here we are today, a few months shy of 10 years later. IT IS DONE GODDAMNIT! I actually finished this kit. And I thought my 8 year VP Hi Nu project was long in the tooth. Motivation is actually mostly because of this year’s SCGMC theme (year 2025) which is “Macrotech/Robocross” most of you get the joke. For others, look up Robotech in all it’s storied history.
The old kit was moved several times with workshop upgrades and several location changes. I opened it up every now and again to work on it, mostly the first time and 7 years later, but I wasn’t sure if I still had all the parts. The kit was available, so sometime late last year, I just ordered a new one and started this up at a local build gathering. What is also new is that I now have the Super Valkyrie Gerwalk kits that I can use instead of just the skinny Valkyrie Gerwalk. All that work done 10 years ago is now garbage for the most part.
