JT Marsh's E-Frame

Based upon the underrated 90's cartoon "Exo-Squad", this is Lieutenant J.T. Marsh's E-Frame, which he used to lead Able Squad in their battles against the Space Pirates, and later the Neosapiens. The official designation for this E-Frame was the AA-500 Falcon, designed for both planet side and space combat.

Constructed of over 2200 pieces, this model tries to recreate a static display model of the iconic vehicle from one of the best children's shows of the past. Even if people do not like this model, I do hope it inspires people to build more sets from this show and it's universe. The excellent story line, characters, and futuristic gadgetry is an untapped wealth of possibilities, on par with franchises like Robotech and Mechwarrior.

Though limited compared to it's animated counterpart, this model does possess some articulation. The wings fold down. The shoulder joints can rotate and raise the arms out from the body. The elbows can extend the forearm out about 60 degrees beyond parallel, and swivel left and right (fairly limited). The hip joint can rotate and raise the legs to the sides (fairly limited) and the knees bend. The legs have two doors that open out, while the cockpit has two doors (an upper and a lower) that close around the pilot like a clam shell. Unfortunately, there's no articulation in the feet. All of the missiles can be easily detached, to simulate the E-Frame with exhausted ammunition.
