Figure Note:
Stop-Motion Transformation of Yamato 1/60 Macross YF-21 Sturmvogel. This is my favorite Yamato Macross figure I have, but it is a bit of a challenge to get to stand properly. Note that in order to get him to fit back into fighter mode you must FULLY unbend his secondary gerwalk knee joints until there is no longer a gap. I show the pilot rotating to face front, but you do not need to do that as a separate step going back as it will happen automagically in that direction.

Production Note: Had to use some rigging to deal with some of his loose joints.
Viewing Note:
If you want to follow along, I recommend skipping to the speed run and using your , and . keyboard keys to advance by single frames. Every step of the transformation is documented in the frames of the video, in what I consider to be the best sequence. With minimal rubbing and minimal parts-parking.
