 Here it comes. These are the legs, the waist and a part of the front body. As always, this Maschinenkrieger is very clever in its design, the parts fit together with almost no sanding. Just to make it sure, I added some MrSurfacer nevertheless. BTW - all parts like legs, knees, arms etc. will stay moveable, another plus for the kits. |

On the Ma.K forum someone was asking me what I was going to build next - started poking through the Mk.44 "Ammoknights" box. Looks pretty sweet!

Mak forum? Didnt want to go as big as the Nutcracker this time. My LHS has some more great Ma.K. kits - due to the fact that most traders need to take a certain amount of kits its only a few. And the White Knight looks pretty cool, you cant say that every Maschinenkrieger kit is (matter of personal taste, of course. ). Stupid question, because Im not very deep into Maschinenkrieger story - whats the difference between Ammoknights and White Knights? |

Phew, what a beast. Thanks for that link. Game of Thrones, anyone? I decided for a light blue inside the cockpit. This is the part between rear body and the seat.  |

Body works. Mr.Surfacer brought on with a sponge gives a very good cast structure. You have to be a bit patient, because some spots wont look perfect at the first try. But the result is worth the waiting.  |

Yep, copy that. Paint job is pretty much done so far - with the help of Gun Metal, light blue, self made stencils (hooray for old decals ) and some orange paint. Pictures will follow soon. |

And there they are...   Have the choice of two bases (one from my fellow former Vento aka Jetta Mk.II for the US). Which one?!  |

I love the smiley face on the one arm! Nice touch. As for choice of base...go with whichever one fits! |
