I've started yet another MK44 the other week. I had almost enough parts in the bin to make a WhiteKnight but not quite. The most challenging bit so far was the shin guards. I first started with a plastic soup spoon handle but the plastic was immune to any form of adhesive. I had to draw form styrene sheet over the handle to get something usable. The nose bit is Wave g-tanks with putty. The arms are also lengthened about 6mm/.25".

I still need to add a few tubes and hoses.

The weather got above freezing for a bit on Saturday so I gave it a blast of Tamiya primer from a rattle can.

Sooooo....this thing can fly?

Sorry no, doesn't have it's pilot's licenses yet.

Ohhh, very nice - got to love the slightly ungainly look of the MK44 creations!


Best regards

Nice work Bryan. I'm looking forward to seeing the paint.

Look no further Vincent.

Hand painted with Vallejo Model Colors over a matte black base. Worn paint is actual worn paint. I wet sanded with 800 grit sanding sponge. A little light drybrushing with dark grey softened some of the marks. A cot of Gunze Semi Gloss from a rattle can was applied.

I changed the laser to a boom stick scratch built from styrene tube and parts from the Hammer Knight.

Very interesting chipping technique Bryan! I could imagine this works best at larger scales.

Also, nice boomstick

With so much time at home I finished this one too.
