The memorable first installment of the new series, VSMS, is the black knight “Daccus the Black Knight,” who made a huge impact when he first appeared in the play. By pouring in all the know-how and passion for all of Volks’ three-dimensional objects to date, we have created a movable mechanism with a simple and innovative parts structure that far exceeds imagination, something that could never be achieved with a design concept bound by the constraints of conventional molds. This is a new series that takes on the challenge of ultimate modeling expression. In particular, the completely new “twin swing” mechanism proposed by the original author: Mamoru Nagano is not only a simple mechanism that slides back and forth in a straight line, but also thoroughly reproduces the unique “twisting”. We will deliver a novel experience to those who hold it in their hands, allowing them to fully enjoy the fun of assembling and operating the GTM, thinking, “This much movement with just this many parts!” Painted samples of the latest test shots are also on display at “Volks F.S.S. Series Exhibition in Hobby Heaven 2 Summer 2024”. Please take a look at the exhibition and make a reservation!
