Future Flymech was made from parts from set 31034, and
transforms from a jet plane to a mech without taking off parts. There are
variety of hinges (frictioned and non-friction) and balljoints from this set,
allowed me to pull this through with a mech with excellent articulations.
(although the back kibbles does hinder the posability due to impaired stability
)
Set 31034 is my first 2015 set I acquire this year. I quickly zip through
building the 3 official modes last Friday and Saturday, then dismantle it and
start building this guy. In less than 2 days I'm 99% done!
One thing that I'm proud of is that I managed to streamline the orange parts
underneath the wings.There are just a few orange parts from this set to utilize so placing them in the right place is challenging.
The connection as shown by the red arrow is the mech's achilles' heel , easily
pops out when transforming him.
And the strongest hinges are used in the folding of the nosecone. The above shows how 2 cylinder shaped component are folded down to pad up the formed shoulders ,preventing them from sagging when the mech is upright later on.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zm4afhskilk9q4z/futurefly-instruction.zip?dl=0I'm currently very impressed with set 31034's parts selection. I think I just
*might* churn something else out from it by building a mech that transform into
something else (maybe a land vehicle or even a 4-legged mecha-beast). Will
keep you guys updated!
