Bandai 1/100 HG YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie (Alto Saotome Use) - Build Overview and Thoughts

I went on holiday, built a robot and caught a cold. Sounds about par for the course for me.

A very unusual feeling set, the Durandal Valkyrie felt like a mixed bag once I was done building it, but after spending more time with the finished results I reckon it’s a pretty well-done piece, even if there’s some rather unusual elements (and a heck of a lot of stickers) involved in its construction. It’s probably a must-have for Macross fans though, and even those who aren’t familiar with the series, but fancy a unique building experience.

As mentioned, I had a rather rubbish cold for much of this video’s production, which is why my tone of voice throughout may be a little erratic. I imagine I’ll be back to a more consistent volume next time, so hopefully it doesn’t impact on the video too much!

As usual, all stock photos and posters in the video were taken from the relevant wikis and store fronts.

The ‘Wow Cool Robot’ meme originates from here:
