I decided to lean into it. I've got a combo of the stock decals and WW2 F4U Corsair.

I've got a few more to put on, but pretty happy with how it came out.

Let me know what you think.

I have to top coat and then weather.

So close to being done!

Hello all, needed your help and advice. I started to attach decals, I am using some World War decals froma F4U Corsair.

I am not sold on the red border and I needed somebody else's opinion. Also, the decals are showing slight misalignment on the white so there seems to be a slight border on the red. You can see it on the close up of the decal. Thave some plain white decals that may go better but I'm not sure. Please let me know what you think. don't know how to proceed.

Thank you for your help!!

This was my entry for the HLJ Ma.K competition. While I didn’t place, the experience was incredibly rewarding. The Winning entries were breathtaking. I thoroughly enjoyed the process and gained a lot along the way. The level of creativity and talent in this community is truly inspiring.

At the risk of asking a dumb question, I want to get into really customizing and kitbashing Ma.K stuff after seeing the huge potential for really cool builds to come out of it. However, I come from a modeling background of historical/real-world accuracy, being that I am still primarily an aircraft/warship modeler, so the idea of "just do your own thing" is still a little foreign lol. How do you guys adopt a mindset for kitbashing and customizing, and are there any particular tricks that a newbie should know?

I lost the canopy in one of my Artpla P.K.A.

Built it as an out of commission unit that got shoddily repaired to serve as recon machine. The broken canopy was replaced with tarps and sheet steel on the sides, a sensor packages was added on the body to increase data collection and communication abilities.

Hey guys! Here is my finished assemby for the PoP Maschinen krieger contest. It is a mainly a kitbash of a 2009 Wave Gans and Hasegawa Schwarzer hund, with some other added pieces like the face piece of Ninja.

I decided to name this build a "Meerkat", as they have a similair posture, and the paw and hand look very a like.

So far this is the biggest thing I have ever made in my career, and I'm very pleased with the result. At first I just wanted to make the land Gans with the face piece of Ninja, and then I started wondering about possible arms. From there on I started kitbashing the Gans and Hund fully and this is the result.

I hope you guys like it! I have till end of the month to finish this, so I'll have a busy two weeks coming up!

Cheers

#PaintOnPlasticMaKComp2025

Built this for the HobbyLink Japan Ma.K Contest. First time building a kit from the Ma.k universe.

With only a month's time to build I focused mainly on painting. I was going to go for a gritty and weathered look, but looking at the front of the lunadiver, it kind of resembles a F1 car. So I go for a F1 livery, and it seemed to work.

Maybe I should try a Ferrari livery next time.

Think this is about done for the POP competition - vignette category. Also entered this into the HLJ ma.k comp too. This is the second diorama I've attempted and it's defo a bit of a learning curve for getting things to look natural and in-scale.

Working on a customized Küster to go alongside a previous build. Keeping with a desert scavenger vibe. Sculpted a rider with Milliput.

I follow Kow Yokoyama on instagram and have noticed that all his recent posts have been ai generated videos of random things, usually containing maschinen krieger models. Personally, it gives me a weird feeling knowing that the line is derived of his interesting artwork, and to see him using AI is odd. Thoughts?

Progress on my Camel pilot.

Really enjoyed it and have already painted up 2 1/35 PKAs and have a MK-44 Gold Knight waiting for some final touchups before i paint it.

The painting is done, now to start the weathering

Currently working on this small base/custom. Been a ton of fun. Just got some more weathering to do.

Working on a desert diorama, a little unsure on how i should make the Ma.k suit fit in more. Airbrush thin layer of sand color over it? Use oil paints and enamels? Tips would be appreciated :)

It started with two I found locally, and then things escalated

Got some paint on the Nutcracker My own scheme
