Maschinenkrueger Group Build
Posted by Gunpla Master on Friday, July 30, 2010 8:47 PM

As has been asked and I hope we are allowed to do this, I will start the Group Build Ma.K.  I hate group builds with alot of deadlines and rules.  So if this is OK?

1.  Kit must be either a Nitto, Hasegawa, and or Wave Ma.k kit.  However if you do have a Cottage Ind. Resin kit, that will be welcomed as well.

2.  Must be a WIP, please no completed builds, we want to learn from you the process of building a Ma.K

3.  I think it would be fair to say lets set a time frame of from Aug 2010 to Jan2011.

4.  All scales allowed in the Ma.K World.

5.  Post on this thread so as not too tie up too much space, spread over the Forum.

6.  This is not a contest, but a chance to glean from each other and to show the others the wonderful World of Ma.k.

If you are interested, simply post a reply to this thread with your WIP, if the above is agreeable.  Lets all hope we get the approval of this, from the wonderful Forum from FSM and their staff.  I in no way wish to go outside any rules.

One other point of interest, you if you choice too, may build your Ma.K w/any additions you desire, however in keeping with the World of Maschinenkrueger, if you can build OOB would be of great help to convey what these models are about.  But I in no way want to limit you in your creativity and if you think you can scratch build w/in the 150days, by all means give it a try (this is the only way you will be allowed to not use the kit parts for a build, is to do it the way it was originally done).  I gave a time line of 5 months to allow those who would like to be apart of this time to get the kit and all materiales needed to build.  Good luck and good modeling.  Is this OK FSM.

I was hoping to hear from you smeagol.  Starship Modeler has a great selection, fast ship and the best prices in town!  www.starshipmodeler.biz.com.  You have all the time you need until the EOY!  I hope very much to see your handy work @ this, getting guys of your calibre is what will get the ones who are timid out in the open and posting a build.  After all, is that not what our hobby is about, people w/a common interest!  Where you @ Modelbuilder, I know your are interested, these are not complicated models to build, heck a AFS can be assembled in a day, now the fun part is in the paint/finish.  So it's not like building a heavy subject.  CJ, U need to be in this too!  I hope many will jump in, get the attention of those watching what is going on in the Ma.K world to see there is many places people are building their kits.  How do you think new stuff will get popped or re-popped for that matter.  But hey no pressure guys, I just need to call back the Buff's!!!!!!!!!!Whistling

If you have a couple why not share the wealth to those of us who dont have any so this GB can get big!

Well don't die smeagol, we would lose our Historian and a good friend, LOL, but I do soooo much hope you get the AFS.  There are many good deals on eBay now and I hope to snag a few of them as well.  Picked up a 1/76 resin Nutrocker up today, a bit more than I wanted to pay, but I really wanted one of these, until Hasegawa comes out with their Big Plastic version of this beast.  I have been recruiting several other people to come on board from other locations to promote the Ma.K Time Line,  funny how much the story seems to fit some of what is going on to this very day, so the whole thing is a Sci-Fi story, yet could be very possible in the future.  Hope you get it smeagol.  What AFS are you looking to get?  Cheers my friend.Cool

Well, I WAS going to decline to join, but a friend over at the MaK boards sent me the parts to build a Melusine - the parts arrived today. So I take that as a sign I should jump in. Big Smile

I'm thinking I might go with a Nitto Racoon kit I have in the stash. Just a nice, basic build, a good foundation for weathering.

You need to come up w/ a GB badge, GM. A picture w/ the title of the GB, and maybe the date, something for participants to hang in their sig lines. The cooler the picture, the better.

Can we maybe extend the time limit too? I'm a sloooow builder. Smile

Boy was happy to read the new postings this morning, two more buildersBig Smile have thrown their hats into the ring with everyone else.  And a big welcome goes out to all.  There is another I will work on tomorrow @ work to get him in to I hope!  This is going to be BIG for Ma.K and a 1st I believe for here.  OK, in response to some request:

1.  I forgot to include figures as part of the build, so any Ma.K related item is welcome.

2.  I also agree I did not allow enough time, so I thought about this, today is the 1st day of Aug, so lets extend the deadline to 1 August 2011.  Heck I might meet that as slow as I am @ building and gives chances for others to see what is being built and maybe joining in.

3.  Has been requested by Cosmic J to come up w/a Group Build Badge w/date.  I agree and will see what I can do, might need some help, not too sure how to do it, so anyone w/any ideas/tips/thoughts please feel free to offer your much appreciated help.

I just want to say thank you to all who have came forth and are willing to help promote this Ma.K Group Build.  I believe this will help to expose the wonderful world of these kits to those who visit and read the posting on this wonderful Forum.  It is my intent to get those that are thinking about a build to jump in and be apart, this helps many with their building skills and lets face it, all peoples like to feel they belong in something, I believe it too be just human nature.  Again my heart felt thanks to you all, now does anyone have a hanky, got all emotional there for a sec.  NOW LETS CUT PLASTICWelcome Sign

My suggestion is that you make the ending open ended, or make it a year

Logo looks good to me. Seems to capture the retro 1946 alternate universe
