Building a 2 cm flak emplacement for Cover-up campaign and converting some figures for RMG campaign ; I made a sci-fi break this weekend for my safs figures(super armored fighting suits) for a diorama. I painted in enamels and applied decals, matt coat varnishing and weathering will be done after campaigns.3 conversions of the same model.I changed the arms, hands,periscopes,powerpacks and added a scratch-built weapon.
P.S: after X-mas; I will work more on photographing my models

If I am not mistaken those are the MachienenKrieger 1/35th scale figures. Mostly solid plastic available from Hobby Link Japan or Rainbow 10. At HLJ go to the sci-fi listing and look for MaK.

Also Nitto, Modelkasten and Wave make 1/20th !!! scale suit KITS! There are 20+ kits in the series and they were the first Sci fi kits to have multi medial parts, some have etched antannae arrays, all have wire, springs and poly cap joints.

As for the scratchbuilding, it's the weapon on the first figure. I recognize a valve cover on the center section, other than that, I don't recognize any parts.

Check out the Mak kits at HLJ , they're great fun.

I think sometimes is crazy , we stick on an object and forget all the other interesting themes. After 23 years of modelling i ve never tried a theme like this. Maybe someday i ll have to

And things like these are tempting! Nice work Graywolf. I have considered trying some warhammer and let loose the imagination. These figures are very inspiring and look great. The build, painting and decals look great.
