Ask and ye shall receive! In my recent post on the alternate Exo-Force design by anime director and mecha designer Shoji Kawamori, I asked if any Japanese LEGO fans knew of any better pictures of a completed Van Force mecha.
Azumu (of LEGO-BINGO, who it seems is much more consistent about checking Brickshelf than I am) responded:
Regarding instructions for Kawamura-sensei’s “Van Force,” gabriel-san customized the model a bit and uploaded them:

There were a few places in the magazine that were hard to figure out, so it’s not a complete recreation, but I think it’s pretty much complete.
Thanks Azumu-san! So without further ado, here’s a bigger picture of Van Force:
Click the image (or the link Azumu-san provided) for the full gallery, complete with step-by-step building instructions! Awesome.
Oh, and those aren’t custom decals. Japanese LEGO specialty store Click-Brick handed out Van Force sticker sheets with the purchase of any Exo-Force set. Since The LEGO Company worked with Mr. Kawamori to design Van Force, I believe the sticker sheet is “official.”

That is sweet — I don’t have the skills necessary for a transformable suit like that, so will be building that ASAP!
