HOMO FERRATUS - by makadi3000

I'm a designer currently living and working in Zurich, right in the middle of Europe. This blog is about my original toy work and hobby interests. I dedicate it to Japanese artist Kow Yokoyama, creator of the Maschinen Krieger universe, which has always been a teacher and source of inspiration to me, as he is for many contemporary concept artists and illustrators of the 21st century.

Thanks for looking! - Adi D'Agostino aka makadi3000

The release is planned in Feb 2009. Here you can see the new box art and
some prototype shots from the Hasegawa website:

A very quick model setup based on the WWR universe by Ashley Wood:
This is how the mess usually starts...


Definition of Kitbashing: Kitbashing is a practice in which a new scale model is created by combining elements from existing model kits...

Storyline: The Frederiks are always sent out to war accompined by pigs. The pigs are trained to warn FRED from mines and Zombies... which conveniently don't like pig brains :)




Paintjob is next on the list.
