jarkmodels Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) My first Ma.K. model. I’m not much into SciFi but as soon as I learned a bit about Maschinen Krieger I was absolutely captivated by the looks and aesthetic of the whole genre. To me is the perfect blend of SciFi and military history…a perfect “what if” sort of thing and especially the German WWII references were a total hook. The coolest thing was how smoothly everything flowed with this build. My approach was of total freedom and to use it for testing techniques I don't usually get to try while doing my aircrafts and battleships. I had the greatest time assembling it and especially during the painting and weathering process. I absolutely loved this model!…so much that I will be surely doing more armour models (and other SciFi) for now on, cause they really give you the chance to explore and try lots of weathering techniques. I know there is plenty of room for improving and polishing some of the techniques, especially the chipping that turned out to be just ok. Please any comments, criticism and tips are welcome! cheers, Jorge Edited December 5, 2020 by JrivasK Added tags 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Jorge, A fabulous Freidrich. It's hard to believe that it's your first kreiger. You have just the right amount of rust and grunge on the suit. And yes, it's great to have the freedom to do pretty much what you like with them. I'll look forward to seeing more of your work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondrome Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I'm not familiar with this kind of models but yours looks awesome! Did you build it out of the box ? It gives me some fallout 3 the videogame nostalgia 😁. My only minor critique is the grass Maybe you can cut and bend some blades of grass in a more irregular way.

Thank you!. I did it mostly out the box with some minor scratch elements and modifications...Thanks for the grass tip...you are right , it does need more variation 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
