Product Information

The story relates to a war fought on Earth and the Moon in the late 29th century. In 2807 a nuclear WWIV renders Earth uninhabitable. Miraculously by 2859 the environment restores itself and colonists return to rebuild. Over the next 20 years the colonies thrive in a rather Wild West/anarchic fashion. The Galactic Federation, the human interstellar governing body, sends the Strahl Democratic Republic (SDR) forces to take control and form a ruling government, which they do with an iron fist. The colonists and their governing structures rise up and form the Earth Independent Provisional Government, which with the help of wealthy colonists hire mercenaries to muster the Independent Mercenary Army (IMA). The stage is set for years of brutal and murderous battle, which becomes the crucible for the development of the war machines we enjoy in kit form. Sadly I do not have tutorials available for this project but I am sure you could figure it out after studying my new tutorials. Borys Kit (September 20, 2017).

This kept them in scale with Yokoyama’s original kits (the Microman figures used for those were roughly 1/18, while 1/20 scale Formula 1 pit crew figures were used for dioramas), but left them at odds with contemporary sci-fi, or even military kits. At the time, pretty much the only kits you’d find at that scale were automotive. My main shop was the local Yodobashi Hobby Kan shop in Nishi Shinjuku - I could zoom in there, just 2 stations from my home. Other times I would get them in Akiba at the huge Yodobashi store or even at Yellow Submarine along with paints & supplies. The original photos are not available online, but you can get an idea from the covers of "Maschinen Krieger Graphix" below (that's Yokoyama-san on the right) or from a contemporary fan's interpretation here and here. This question comes up in the social networks I visit such as our Paint on Plastic Facebook Group and in the comments on the Paint on Plastic YouTube Channel all the time.

Model Graphix followed suit with their own line of sourcebooks, which provide tutorials from Yokoyama on how he makes his figures. Some sourcebooks also have custom decal sets. SF3D Original, and the follow-up game, SF3D II: Operation Faserei, were original games that looked a lot like historical wargames of the era — cardboard hex maps and hundreds of tiny little counters. This presentation wasn’t abnormal, as companies like Tsukuda Hobby had a thriving business of releasing similarly-formatted games based on anime properties, but it’s clear that these were targeted at hardcore fans. Box art for the first S.F.3.D Original wargame published by Hobby Japan. Over the next four years, the SDR and IMA fight each other at several locations worldwide while developing new technology along the way. The war turns up a notch in June 2883 when the IMA deploys a new weapon - the Armored Fighting Suit powered armor - to devastating effect. The SDR eventually builds their own AFS units.

Following the demise of SF3D, Yokoyama’s career took him to some interesting, albeit under-the-radar, places. Between designing the monocycle for Venus Wars (1989) and the concept for the Griffon in Bubblegum Crisis Revenge Road (1988), Yokoyama also created models for everything from promotional material for Bandai’s Spiral Zone toy series to the box art (and monster design) for the original Xanadu video game. No stranger to video game work, he did designs for Venus Fire, an obscure MSX strategy game, and model dioramas for Squaresoft’s Super Famicom game, Front Mission. Somewhere in there he also worked on a Pocari Sweat commercial featuring Cindy Crawford, too. Moore lumps and bumps go onto the shell of the upper armour, the thin snips I use need a little trimming with a sharp scalpel before I secure them in place with the knife's tip, and then fill the space with thin cement. The best way of not losing the "rivet" bolts that are so tiny and hard to handle. Here they are - inside and out of the face shield in close-up and all of the lumps and bumps added to the exterior of the faceplate... The “Maschinen Krieger”(Ma.K) universe of characters and machines is a science fiction genre in print and model making that was created by Japanese artist and sculptor Kow Yokoyama in the 1980s, with the first appearance of the subjects appearing in the popular magazine Hobby Japan called SF3D. The series focuses on the aftermath of the earth (and the moon) after World War IV. So you all know it is supposed to happen (mark your calendars & perhaps take that Monday off work) in 2807 when up to 80% of the Earth’s population was killed in the nuclear holocaust. Giant robot and mecha stories have been popular in Japan for decades, but apart from imported anime series such as Neon Genesis Evangelion and Gundam, the genre hasn't had as much of an impact in the United States as it has had at home. The most recent high-profile example of the genre finding success with western audiences is Guillermo del Toro's 2013 giant robots vs. monsters movie Pacific Rim.
