Thank you Dave.

The MK44 Queens 'B' Knight is a variant of the MK44 designed and released as a kit by Takaaki Saito of LoveLove Garden. I was enamored with the design when I saw the first images he posted of the master. I picked this kit up as a Christmas present to myself at the end of 2017. It took a few months before I could build the kit but it wet together quickly once I started. The Hasegawa MK44 line of kits are a breeze to build and the resin add-ons from the LLG kit make this a unique looking mecha. The only change I made was adding the shoulder armor plates from the GrobberHund Altier to the hull sides and replacing the kit hand with an unused claw from the KingKrote kit. A couple of smoke launchers were drilled out and wires are from 0.015" solder wire. The model was painted with Tamiya acrylics and weathered with oils, enamels and pigments. I made extensive use of oils to filter the base colors and add some interest. Additional images can be found here: MK44 Ausf G Queens 'B' Knight

Nice work!

Thanks Bill. Not to mention needing some Dramamine. 🤢

Thanks Kevin!

Thanks Dick and Mark! It was a fun little project.

Thanks Mark!

Thank you all for the kind words. errr... uhm... I guess I finished this. Didn't bother with progress photos.

This is a limited run garage kit from a little known series Junk Tank Rock. If you are not familiar , JTR - it's an obscure series of garage resin kits and were only available from a one day event called Wonder Festival held in Japan. This is a very limited run garage kit from the 2008-09 time frame. Maybe less than 100 were ever kitted. The designs only exist as kits; there was never an anime or manga but the line has had influence far beyond it's limited run. You know those wasteland airplane/cars you see online and at model shows? That was started with this series. The figure is from Evolution miniatures slightly modified to fit the opening. I acquired this kit as part of an estate sale from a fellow MaK fan in Australia that passed away earlier this year. I never mat Daniel but have known him online for years. His presence will be missed in the Mak community. This one's for you Dan!

Thank you Kevin!

Way cool. I haven't seen many finished. A local club member has been working on one for a few years.

Thanks Dennis! Appreciate the kind words.

Thanks Bill and Mark!

I've finished the Pershing what-if. Additional images can be found here: T-26E4-1 Super Pershing

Rick, If you are on Facebook, you might want to try here - Scale Model Graveyard. It's the largest buy and sell military model group on FB. There might be someone able to help, especially since you are volunteering your time for a display for veterans. https://www.facebook.com/groups/258721994328056/

I think those ground stabilizers need to be longer.

Thanks Mark!

Finally finished the beast. Finished with oils, enamels and pigments. The sheer size of the slab sides made weathering this thing a bit of a challenge. Additional images can be found here: KV U-19

Cool suit. I think Walter is releasing some of his moon and diving suits in 1/35 soon.

Thanks Kev. You reminded me to post final images: Additional images can be found here: Super Jerry F.2

Finally got around to taking proper photos: I was honored to win Best in Show at a local IPMS show last weekend. More images here: Sturmgeshutze Su-76i

Thanks Mark!

Just finished this fun little kit. HobbyBoss 1/35 T-40 Additional images can be found here:> T-40 Amphibious Tank

The weather cooperated the other weekend and I was able to get some paint on this. I'm not looking forward to all the in situ detailing stowage painting. Too much PE to knock off. :cry:
