SAFS MkIII 1 of 3

I managed to track down this issue of MKW which has part 1 of 3 of this very rare resin kit. Woah this modeler really spent many months building and documenting this WIP so that he can share with us. I admire and appreciate his effort in doing this. If I were to meet him, I would treat him coffee! :)

This resin is quite rare in YAJ, the modelkasten version is not so rare, but recently fetched prices in excess of 16500 yen (w/o) shipping! I've yet to win the modelkasten version, and don't think I would even try bidding...

Anyway, enjoy slowly this WIP! Will

PKA H0 'FU DAO'

PKA H0 by Felix Siu, the same modeler who did the Fliege and other models in MKW. On the PKA is painted, in red, the Chinese character: Blessing (FU). Its painted upside down as a common practice in Chinese tradition to paste this character upside down on their doors, because it reads Blessing Come (FU DAO). The word upside down (DAO) in chinese sounds the same as Come.
An awesome modeler, with a well weathered PKA for our reference purposes. Enjoy!

Krachenvogel Part 1 of 3

As promised here comes the Krachenvogel!!!! Didn't even notice it when I was a non-Ma.K fan. Now its like digging for treasure thru my magazines to find Ma.K articles hiding in them...
This article is from MKW no. 186 June 2006.
Enjoy!





Stay tuned for Part 2!

Fliege - Autumn

Continuing from his previous work, Felix made this stunning diorama titled Autumn. Its another one with a strong anti-war theme. I've never seen a Fliege being done in non-space setting before. One of these days I will attempt to translate the contents to English for my English-speaking friends... Someday... in the meantime, enjoy!

Wait! Do I hear a low-humming sound? Its a Krach..!?

SAFS - Spring Peace on Earth

Found on Model Kit World, SAFS - Spring Peace on Earth is a piece by Felix Sin. A competition piece for a Hong Kong modelling contest. Its an anti-war theme. Very nicely done! When I first saw this, I thought it was a very unique diorama. Instead of showing an SAFS in a fighting pose or in a maintenance build, it showed a damaged SAFS with a supposedly dead pilot inside. Note the entrance wound on the side of the suit. I let the pictures do the talking.




This piece really made me think about war, which is often made glamorous by movied but in reality cruel and sad. Even though the setting is cheerful and bright, it brings sadness viewing it. This is not just art, but delivers a powerful message from Mr Felix, the modeller, to the viewer. Few dioramas evoke this kind of emotion.
I wish I could make Ma.K like him!

PKA M Melusine scans

Published in Model Kit World magazine No.146 in 2003, This was the first time I saw a Ma.K model in MKW. At that time of course, I bought the magazine for the Gundam models... Looked interesting to me but I never did give it a second look. today I went back to dug up all my old old MKW magazines and started scanning them to share with you guys...

MKW is a Hong Kong based modeling magazine which covers a variety of models from armour to figure, with the reviews of G-System resin Gundam models which I love...

Anyway I can't get this magazine here now which is a pity, but there are plenty of articles which I am scanning in so stay tuned!

Note: These completed model kits' photos belong to their respective owners and if there are any issues, I will take them down immediately. I respect the owner's rights!
Enjoy!
