"All Quiet In The West..." - Maschinen Krieger WW1 Diorama (Melusine 1/20)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

My friends, Maschinen Krieger has been one of the most requested subjects on this channel, but it's finally here! I wanted to put my own spin on this esoteric genre, and an armored mech suit in WW1 trenches seemed right up my alley!
These models are a wonderful blend between armor and figures. You can use every weathering technique known in the armor modelling world yet the shape of the model makes it feel like a scale figure. And they are great relaxing subjects - a suit like this can be efficiently finished in 3 days!

    Great finish my friend! And no worries on the "fuel cap" 😂 maybe they welded a fuel rod in there and called it a day. Less wasted time in the maintenance yard- more time shooting panzerfäusts that appear like farts on the battlefield. I am glad you leaned into this project and had fun with it, it looks absolutely epic in your style and you made the kitbash decals seamlessly integrated into the vehicle. I believe most of these original kits from the early days took decals from scale aircraft kits, so no doubt the lore accurate essence of Ma.K lives on. See you in the next one
