Pete in Lincs Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 The yellow took me by surprise. It will be very interesting to see the masking removed for the final scheme. It seems like you are enjoying yourself. I imagine there might be some more kreiger in your future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaurosisbrown Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Final colour on And then unmasked. You’ll now see the very obvious influences I took for the liveries… Or maybe it was two of the greatest Le Mans winning cars…. Still loads to do. Weathering, decals and all the underneath gubbins. Really enjoying this Edited November 12, 2023 by Amaurosisbrown Add photos 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Aaah, I see. The silk cut was obvious when I saw it, but I'd not seen the other one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaurosisbrown Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 Various gubbins painted. Bit of weathering still to do. Will try and get a few bits to look rusty 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I had a look at the hobby link Japan website yesterday, and quite a few Ma.k kits are on sale at the moment (If you have some spare Crimbo money) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaurosisbrown Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 So tempting, Pete. All those Ma.k kits. They have all the discontinued kits also. wow, there were 1/6 scale kits! Wonder if they’ll ever come back? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaurosisbrown Posted December 23, 2023 Author Share Posted December 23, 2023 Making a start on the decals for the yellow Falke. Think I will keep it fairly discrete. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeoman1942 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Great looking Falke. My box of Ma.K goodies arrives tomorrow. It makes sense to order in bulk from HLJ to keep the postage costs sensible. Not sure if they are still having the sale on postage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaurosisbrown Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 By virtue of a spherical planet, I am able to do alfresco modelling. Beaut day today ☀️ Panel lines done. Then attached a few bits of the under carriage. Excuse the portrait mode 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaurosisbrown Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Getting closer to the finish for the New Man Falke. Will probably weather a bit further, with more vertical to represent sitting still. Quite happy with the rusty exhaust too. Its been awhile since the cockpit was open, so no idea how the pilot is doing. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaurosisbrown Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 (edited) The chequered flag 🏁 is in sight, and my Ma.k Falkii are close to completion. Loads of fun, and the freedom to do whatever. I settled on the Le Mans inspired paintwork fairly early on. My thinking was in the Maschinen Krieger future, a mechanic found an 800 year old book with photos of ancient race cars and felt a similar inspiration. They need a suitable base, and then I’ll post a few more photos. Edited January 12 by Amaurosisbrown Add photos 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly7 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Beautiful models, superb paint, weathering & battle damage. Spruebrothers has quite a few Maschinen Krieger ( now called Ma.K. ) kits available at somewhat reasonable prices. I just picked up 2 1/35 pairs of armored suits on sale. Thanks for posting your build. 👍Cheers, Ruben. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaurosisbrown Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 Time to knock up a base. I’d like to see my Falke in flight. I’d cut a square hole in the centre of the anti-gravity pod. It was guesswork as to whether that would be a good balance point, and I had added a bit of weight in the nose cones. Good way to get rid of scrap wood. Looking quite post-apocalyptic. Adding some beach sand. Also trying a patch of concrete. Maybe a hardened lava field? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaurosisbrown Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Looks like I’m all finished. I will post some shots in the Finished forum, until then here’s a wee teaser… 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Nothing short of excellent. A great start in the genre. I hope we'll see more kreiger from you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
