Those that know me, know that I love Maschinen Krieger (Ma.K). However, it had been a while since I built anything in the style (about 8 or 9 months actually). Well my tweaking began shortly after I posted Logan’s updated Fireball. Then when he posted his minifig scale SAFS Raccoon…well I completely fell off the wagon at that point.
His brilliant design really got me itchin’ to build a suit that was more of a proper scale compared to minifigs than what my previous designs achieved. And as a small ode to Tim Gould’s original, I thought I would try and replicate his look (because his really is responsible for introducing me to the genre years ago). After some quick LEGO playing before bedtime with my son tonight we came up with a pretty fun little design that should be relatively easy to replicate in different variations…I have to say that I am quite pleased with the result actually :)
For those interested, I also did a fun little stop motion instructional video :P

EDIT: Pascal (pasukaru76) has now created instructions in LDraw.
So needless to say, I think it is a safe bet that I will be producing more Ma.K deliciousness in the near future…stay tuned!
Just finished building a pair (dark gray & red). ;-)
Haha, nice! They do seem to be catching on :P
