Hi guys!
Here's my first try building a Ma.K. kit! I really like the design of these little fellas, so I'm thinking about buying more from this series.

I had to improvise a little because I was supposed to drill several holes myself to attach some accessories and just noticed at the end

Fortunately it worked out
If you're curios about how there kits are put together, please check my step-by-step video here (360 degrees turntable view included!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Spsvdgy9LBo

And here's how it looks with no paint, no polishing, no putty and no glue

Cheers!

I really love these kits but never tried to put one together. I don't have the temperament to do them justice when painting lol.

Lol, I actually find these heavy weathered models to be more friendly than others. I don't think I'll ever touch one of those awesome pristine car models!

For me "the dirtier, the better"

Yeah I remember being really heavy handed weathering starwars stuff back in the 90s but it always looked good to me considering it was done with a spray can. I have a high end ghost in the shell anime kit sitting here i got from my buddy and i'm terrified lol.

I'm a fan of this series (and author), but I haven't followed it closely in some years. I am delighted to see that they are still tooling new kits.

I've attempted a few of these, but only one I would consider completed (painted, decaled, mounted to base). Very crude by almost any standards, including my own, but I do like the fact that the models encourage customization & poseability. It was even more radical back in the 80's when they first came out.

Depending on how much you like the 'universe', there are plenty of art books and photo books, plus at least one modeling guide by Yokoyama-sensei himself.

Jason Eaton (Moff Eaton) here is a huge fan as well, an excellent modeler, and has even met sensei.

Here's a few of Jason's builds & scratch builds: http://www.mystery10.com/

Yes, they are! Here you can see the current stock on HLJ: http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?...rt=std&qid=8SRMJFSAPQ&set=1&MacroType2=injkit

And thanks a lot for sharing Jason's work. Very inspiring!

Most excellent work on the Seapig sir. I have all the originals but I am way behind getting the new MaK kits.

all original kits? Wow!!! I guess I'm the new generation type, collecting the most recent stuff. Still a ton of kits to get

19narvik40 · Feb 5, 2016

The original release from Nitto was 21 kits all in 1/20th scale except # 19 which was the 1/76th scale Nutrocker. Hasegawa has the line now and everything past # 21 is 'new' to me. There are also numerous resin SF3D/MaK kits as well.

Here is a fantastic wesite devoted to SF3D/Mak, http://www.q-net.net.au/~nipngnwm/index.html

Have fun !!

Didn't the Nutrocker come with a tiny, in-scale suit, too

?

Sergiotron · Mar 31, 2016

Finally some progress! As this is my very first Ma.K. kit, I tried to replicate the paint scheme in the instructions as close as I could. I think I'm improving my skills

Tomorrow I'll upload a video of the process to my YouTube channel

Mike J. · Mar 31, 2016

Looks quite good!

Are you going to dirty it up at all? Add chipping or anything?

Thanks! And yes, I will dirt the heck out of it

Here's a little video of the build process right before the paint stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL4DEYaEZFg
My methods and materials are not very conventional, but living in Colombia forces me to be resourceful

Sergiotron · Apr 2, 2016

Here you can see the painting process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MemIHVoBANw

And I made this gif for fun

Sergiotron · Apr 8, 2016

Chipping is ready! And here's a nice video of the process (new format, so any feedback is welcomed!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_kDxwtCel4

Sergiotron · Apr 11, 2016

Done! (Detailed video of the process coming soon)
I have a nice idea for the base, to take advantage of the LED installed

I made some mistakes but I'm pretty happy with the result. It was fun and I learned a lot

Sergiotron · Apr 12, 2016

Here's a little video of how I applied the washes. Nothing new, I guess, but I really enjoy sharing my process on my channel

Still lots to learn
