Another fantastic Ma.K. build by industry famed artist Jason Eaton. Jason’s attention to fine details of these pieces is amazing! I would very much like to show more in this category. Fantastic work by Jason!

Here is what Jason has to say of this build…

This is the 1/20th scale Rainbow Egg kit of the Tornado, Designed by Kow Yokoyama, as seen in the mid 1980s in SF3D articles published by Hobby Japan. Made from resin, wires, and tubing, the Tornado is a funky design, not often seen in Maschinen Krieger collections. This was a lot of fun to make, as I modified it to be a “Winter version” of the Tornado!

Instead of the original gun, I have placed two missile tubes on the chassis, and added a “bump out” behind the pilot’s seat...

This is a subject we are going to be showing MUCH more on…. Maschinen Krieger modeling! One of the best artists in this category is Jason Eaton. His work absolutely captures the essence of the entire category! It is unique and believable down to the last rivet and bolt Jason places on his builds! They are that detailed! As is usual… beautiful work from this famed artist! We are greatly honored to be able to show his works here on Modeler Magic.

This once “war torn” Earth is now a paradise again…. only to be forcibly run by the corrupt & ruthless Strahl Democratic Republic (SDR). The Galactic Federation had no right to proclaim the SDR as the ruling body to the Colonists of Earth… and now they would regret it. The brutal work camps alone were enough for the Colonists to create their own Governing body and rebel for freedom… The Earth Independent Provisional Government for which this new Military was risen… The Independent Mercenary Army! The will of the people, along with their strong walking tanks would fight to the death! “And death is what they received” thinks the Armored Sergeant as he passes behind one of those walking tanks just after his unit destroyed an SDR Bunker...

Using the great photos of the 1:35 scale Ma.K. Lunadiver Stingray by Sean Brannin (SEEN HERE), and a blue ray scene from Star Trek Nemesis, I was able to create this scene as I envisioned it.

This beautiful build was done by professional artist Sean Brannin from the amazing Hasegawa kit!  Admittedly, it doesn’t take much for someone to really enjoy these Ma.K. pieces due to their designs. However, when done with superior skills, like the Lunadiver STINGRAY you see here, it really brings the piece to life! I especially love the way Sean makes his panels ‘real-world’ looking with the paint scrapes around the edges! Outstanding work!
