PUTTY

Got this post saved for ages but never took the time to wright a review. However, I just wanted to cheer for Apoxie Sculpt (first left), which is my favorite for 99% of my sculpting work. And Tamiya Epoxy Putty might be very useful for smaller sculpting details as well. Both are two part puttys which hardens in 2-3 hours. Enjoy!

Re Ma.K. x threeA ... 1/12 Kröte

Latest info from threeA production blog by Ashley Wood:

"Krote 1/12th (14″-16″) will be our first toy working with Kow Yokoyama.. we are super excited!"

Can you immagin a fully articulated 14-inch Kröte action figure (maybe with a light switch?) - WOW! I like it and I like the idea already of more armored walker following the Kröte in this new collaboration... JERRY, GANS, LUNAR GANS, KANGAROO... KÖNIGS KRÖTE!!!

A man can dream, right? lol

more Ma.K. armored walker: Königs Kröte, Kangaroo

Here's an exclusive pic showing Yokoyama sensei working on a 1/6 custom (!!!) and in the front you can see the 1/20 Kröte scale model based on the latest Q3 release. Definitely super excited... Hope you too are :)

Announcement of the year ... FINALLY ! ! !

From Ashley Wood blog:
"ThreeA is proud to announce that it has partnered with amazing Japanese artist Kow Yokoyama to produce Maschinen Krieger in both 1/12 and 1/6 scale! If you think you know Maschinen Krieger think again - ThreeA is about to bring you a whole new world."




I'm supporting the idea since day one and I thank Kow Yokoyama for reconsidering and even more Ashley Wood for sticking to his guns! A tremendous opportunity to spread the Maschinen Krieger universe to a much wider audience - this also makes me dream about the long awaited Maschinen blockbuster again - do you hear me, Ridley Scott?!! (Kow's director of choice btw ^^) Stay tuned for much more ! ! !

Sentinel, Congratulations ! ! !

Finally, I picked up Sentinel's 1/16 SAFS Space Type Fireball from the post office today and I'm absolutely loving it! This is by far the best Ma.K action figure ever made and totally exceeded my expectations - detail, accuracy and fitting is just astounding! Fully articulated, comes with two pilot figures (1 bust & 1 full figure) and a very usefull stand. The fitting of the open suit mechanic is just amazing and works fantastic! Hats off to Sentinel for his effort and dedication !














By the way, Sentinel will soon release a DIY version too, don't miss it!

More Maschinen Action Please!

Well, it's not a secret that I have a weak spot for action figures and collectible toys. I wish Yokoyama-Sensei would push more in this direction. Here comes a fully articulated 1/16 action model of the early Fireball design with open engine. Release date is set for June. PRE-ORDER NOW!!!!!!!!

Description by HLJ.com: A highly detailed and posable fully-finished "action model" of the S.A.F.S Space Type Fireball, in big 1/16 scale! Stands 14cm tall. Nylon joints with metal shafts ensure smooth movement. Includes two pilot figures rendered in PVC vinyl (one full figure and one half figure with helmet). Includes a display base. From SEN-TI-NEL CO., LTD.

FLIEGE & KAUZ

FLIEGE and KAUZ have been reissued by WAVE, using the original NITTO molds from 1984. Finally this rare collectors kits have become available again with the same traditional multimedia garniture, camo card, etc.

Comparison shot of the original box art from 1984 and the Q3 reproduction set of 2009.

Here you can see how far I got last night... LOL nah. I've never been a fast modeler, but got this two builds on my shelf for ages. Back than, I made the KAUZ out of a FLIEGE...


Btw, FLIEGE and KAUZ are powered space suits, or more specifically: Weltraum Panzer Kampf Anzug von der Strahl Demokratische Republik. Time to go and finish the job!
