- This is part one of this build - the kit comes from Hasagawa and is 1/20th scale - These odd yet somehow satisfying machines are from the distant future and really excite the imagination. We'll get a lot of construction done in this episode and discuss some tips for the build.
I believe the technical term for the excess plastic you needed to trim off of the parts is called a "nubbin".
and thank you for your articulation about the articulation.
Nubbin! Got it!
Another excellent episode. Now that you’re building Ma.K, you’ve entered a whole new world of suits, and vehicles etc… Plus they react well to looking brand new to incredibly beat up re: weathering. Enjoy! :)
Awesome model sir! Can't wait to see more. Thank you for sharing. 👍
Just got this kit delivered to me yesterday. Your video is very insightful. I too think this will be a great kit!
Now you did it again Phil, I just ordered one. Great video and subject, Your advice with using the vinyl parts is fantastic. Can’t wait to see how you light this and how you display this. Very cool model.
Very Bandai like. Jon Bius built a few of those kits. I’d like to see your take on this kit. Thanks for sharing. Happy days and model on! 😎🇨🇦
Cool looking vehicle sir.
A German named combat machine with instructions in Japanese. Unique. Very nice production and unusual materials for a styrene kit
I rather enjoyed the original series that this has evolved from. This has the flavor and much of the spirit. That slippery plastic for the joints and articulated bits is polypropylene-- like off a yogurt container. I'm pretty sure nothing will stick to it. I use it as a flat thing to glue things flat.
Lighting-- light more not less. But I say no blinky winky on the suit (suit lights shouldn't blink, that's for danger-- but steady lights, A-OK). Save those for the controls somewhere or the walls. For the astro-soldier, I say drill him right through his chair and add a couple of fiber optic points of light. I also think there should be some exterior lights. Down spots or head lights.
As in the original series, there were echoes and references to old-school markings. Especially German. So I say, add some of the least offending artwork. Maybe the smaller versions. But the big numbers always look good.
Great kit.
Well this is something a little bit different, But it will be interting to see what you come up with re lighting for it. Always look forward to the videos, not only from yourself but Wayne and Lou as well. You guys make some cool stuff! Keep it coming!
Love this model.
That kit has a lot of possibilities for doing unique squadron paint schemes on the body. I think a desert camo or a steel blue (like on a Warthog Plane) would look very interesting on it.
Unusual and very Interesting indeed! Seems to be a very well made kit as well. Great quality for the price. Loving the choices of kits for the channel. If I was to build these I'd be tempted to put NASA decals on them and turn them into some kind of futuristic NASA equipment. I believe you said this is one of a set? Because I for one would love to see more of these type kits. Great find Phil! 👏 👍
Like the look of this kit my friend any links to where you purchased.
Would love to build one myself been looking for something new but worry about buying direct from Japan
This one came from Wonderfest - don’t be afraid of buying from Japan - I’ve had great success doing that. Usually the purchase is very straightforward and the service excellent!
@@sprueVerse thanks Phil
Lighting: MIght work, might not. But... I stumbled on something called Dollhouse Tape while watching a model train guy from Arizona. It is flat, conductive, solderable and sticky-tape all in one. $45, Wally-World Online. Might be able to wrap it right on the iter hull, seal it over in Styrene and solder lights on where ever you choose.
Weird request: The articulation on the legs of the camel goes directly to how I would better build the joints on my 17" all-paper AT-ST legs. I've built 2 of the darn things, 2 more half baked. I want the legs to remain poseable. Right now, they move fine but are too loose to stay in place. Being "studio scale", I could do stop motion with 'em if the joints were better built. I think the construction of your little guy's legs might have clues to improve my design. Wht charm or trade do I need to apply to con you into doing a good .JPG scan of the directions for mr. Camel and emailing or posting the images?
Just a comment for
the algorithm
Genius!
