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!

Disclaimer: I have a good relationship with a handful of modelling brands and stores, namely VMS, Michigan Toy Soldier Company, and AK-Interactive. As such, I’m happy to use their products/services, and show them in my work. In return, they support my efforts in this hobby, although my hands are not bound nor am I obligated to push one brand or the other. Being independent from exclusive sponsorship deals, and instead showing you a variety of paints, techniques, and mediums was one of the founding ideas of this channel and I will always stand by this.

That's great ! I like people trying the fantasy. Sci-fi subjects !
looks amazing
Man that’s so cool. It looks amazing. I’d love to see more.
that is a really cool model and I really enjoy watching you do the paintjob aswell as the diorama great work!
These have always looked fun to build. I may have to get one eventually
man i could watch you build a paper airplane, your videos are so good
This really is next level, I've a long way to go to get half this good!
I’m making a diorama for a school project. I’m broke so let’s hope it looks good
3:50 thats how i make new springs for car door latches that have springs like on older vehicles and they break because theyre all corroded and old
Yeet am the like 12k
It has become so difficult to find things that have not been done already. Bravo to you, this subject looks fantastic!
Loved it. Quite surprised to find how long I'd been sitting here. Well worth the time.
This diorama looked amazing, the machine is really interesting and well designed, i would love to see you build another from this universe .
would love to see something like this but a colonial marine from aliens/xeno/weyland yutani, you have the skills to make some sweet raw crafts that arent main stream ideas! love your work dude
Kind of interesting, I've swapped to doing Warhammer 40k models, and even for vehicles, they too seem like a mix of figure and scale models, even though you'd think it'd be much more akin to 1/64 or 1/35 (realistically it's around 1/60 or 1/55), but because of the style being a game piece, you kind of treat it like a high-contrast figure more than a model tank. And as to your last comment. OMG do I have so many models in my stash.
This was such a treat for a sci-fi fan like myself. I’d love to see you ultimately tackle a Gundam!
Ok now that you built a Maschinen Krieger, time to build a Guntank
cooooool
Dude are you a true artist
I'm a musician and even I get burned out creatively now and again
Fantastic! Quick question: Will the putty and cement mixture work on resin castings?
The techniques are all amazing to watch, but my main take away is how long each one takes. It's great to hear 'this took me a few days' when considering using them.
On! On The Western Front. You gotta get your In's and your On's right.
Cool video though 😁
Normally I wouldn't be into this kind of build because of the Sci-Fi suit I like realistic stuff but I actually watched this from beginning to end awesome video my friend 👍
Ww1 fits into dieselpunk, it's just really early in it
Maschinen Krieger is, in the parlance of my people, frickin' gnarly and I love it. If you're feeling the urge to paint real-robot power armor kits, please do.
Seems like something you'd see in a Ghibli film. Wonderous technology, marked and twisted by war.
Question about the Real Earth From Your Garden™, is there anything special you do to dry it out or prepare it? I've thought about throwing some in the oven but I'd rather not incur the wrath of the wife without knowing that it will work 🫡
Super cool!
That’s a really cool build.
Reminds me of an older videogame called Silent Storm, which was about an alternate WWII, where powered armor called "panzerklein" was developed. It was not a very good game… but it was fun!
Охерительно
Потрясно❤
So very creative!
Id LOVE to see how you would approach a warhammer 40k model. The new brutalis dreadnought is pretty rad 😉
That looks super cool in all but like- what IS that????
Really like this one.
just discovered this channel and I am appaled by the level of detail and skill. incredible job
For future of the wire thing; Guitar strings make good ‘big’ wires for small scale! They also keep their shape pretty well
I would rlly like to see one where you can take them apart but after that you can put it back to form like a huge battle field
WOW this is very inspiring 😀
This was one of my favorite videos so far. Though, I love all of your stuff. I would love to see more Ma.K on here.
Me: "Night Shift seems like such a nice, laid back guy."
Night Shift: "-which I achieved by applying some brute force with a pipe wrench"
Also me: 😳
Another lovely model. Great concept and the usual awesome result.
covering up the joints because you can't get rid of the seam line…
only to make new ones, and add your own seam lines. Amazing lol
Outstanding video, build and presentation.
As a Huge Ma.K fan i would love to see you do more models in the series, and I learned A LOT from watching you do this diorama, but my biggest desire to see your take on is the Hildolfr from Gundam Igloo
Your sandbags look like broadbeans. Need a bit of texture.
The melusine have plenty of reference pictures its one of the most popular kit. Use a translator to loot it up in japanese.
