[@justindavisphotography]

I’m really glad to watch these videos with you talking. This info is invaluable to anyone who is interested. I expect even more so to those who only speak English. Thanks 🙏

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

I appreciate that!

[@wheelycrafty]

I've just learned of these kits and already have the Lum Camel on the way. I have recently got back into modelling after taking a long enforced break for health reasons, now I have regained around 95%of my mobility on my left side I feel I can enjoy the hobby once again.

[@manostroulinos1726]

Yes Linc, your ramble has great value, and is also very enjoyable, no worries! Keep it up! Many thanks!🙂🙂🙂

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Thanks again!

[@chrisrodwell711]

I really enjoy your rambles Linc! Keep em coming :)

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

More to come Chris!

[@davidkilby1043]

You are doing really well with the videos. As a former US Marine recruiter, you are exactly spot on

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Thanks, we have a US Army ex recruiter in our community too, told me the same thing! 😅👍

[@WinnipegKnightlyArts]

I just got this model and I love it. The awesome organic curves, and the overall design are fantastic.

[@adamredman3000]

This kit finally arrived today. When I opened it and saw the complexity of the instructions, the number of pieces and the one page "correction" insert, I was ...terrified! I'm glad for this video. cheers

[@fourlights5086]

I enjoy the background on the franchise, and the background on its creation and path through time, but what I really want and can’t find much of online is the lore of the different sides and factions. Is every kit specific to a certain side? Can the mk44 be used by either side? Is the lunadiver only for a specific side? How about the falke ? I build and paint these things but I like to be lore accurate so I need all the info I can get. Love your channel and your Reverence for the hobby in general. Keep it up

[@skrackensdal]

as a rule of thumb the suits with german names are strahl, except the nutrocker which is also strahl. but i imagine suits would be captured and reused by either side much like captured tanks in real conflicts!

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

I'll do a show talking about the lore. Not the actual lore itself but how it is meant to be used and interpreted. Thanks for watching and commenting, appreciate the support!

[@aesotope1592]

There is a great website called Maschinen Kreuger who has listed all their builds into the various factions. The Wikipedia page is also great for a bit of backstory.

[@chrisweppler1977]

I’ve only recently come across your videos, but I find them very informative as well as relaxing to watch. It’s great to hear you talk about a hobby and a profession that you enjoy so much; it really shows through I’m not only WHAT you say, but how you say it. Looking forward to watching more of your videos in the future. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Hello Chris and welcome 🙏 Thank you very much for the kind words and feedback and yes I think you are exactly right. I think I’m finally feeling comfortable enough to relax into being myself instead of trying to be some KZbin guy... and thankfully the videos are more watchable. 😊 Will keep working at improving and sharing 👍

[@PhotoFlight]

So glad you are doing these videos. Since watching these I've been inspired to buy four Ma.K kits. The Hornisse, Kuster, GroBer Hund and the Altair. I'm about ready to start the Hund and I look forward to using several of the techniques you've demonstrated in your videos.

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Thanks William, happy you like them! Excellent buys there, have fun. ^^

[@alextopfer1068]

as someone who just discovered Maschinen Krieger in 2022 i have no disappointment for missing out. I'm just excited to get my first kit

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Good point!

[@tjbach8213]

Love love love the video and the stories associated with the kit. Very nice to see

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Porco1984]

You are such a delight listening to, I really enjoy how much I learn from this format of "ramble"-history video :) I haven't really given the Großer Hund much though, but this made me want one for my little collection :D

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

You are so welcome!

[@bjsteg79]

Great video! So glad you decided to continue on with the history and background stories of "the making of" Ma.K. Thanks, Linc! Any ideas on where to learn more about the lore of the Ma.K universe?

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Glad you enjoyed it! Well the lore is actually on the boxes. This is part of the fun, piecing it together like off the back of the old sugar packets. Each box reveals a little more of this world. Crazy idea but it's worked!

[@bjsteg79]

@@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright Oooooo can't wait to tell the wife this! 😂

[@matthewbirtles6846]

Big up Linc ! Always enjoy listening more is better . Ramble on

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Ramble Enabled! Thanks Matthew :)

[@aleccap5946]

The detail of this plastic kit is outstanding, once built it actually looks as if its been an impossible build with those cables and clear len's but everything comes together easily (it did for me) and the decals, the Ma.k decals are the best on the market its just a shame you can't buy them separate and if you could, they wouldn't be cheap

[@aesotope1592]

Great vid Linc. Such a fantastic looking kit. Would really love an in depth review of a finished build. Articulation, posability, accesories etc. I need to find me one of these!

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Thanks 😊 Sure thing, will share in my blog when done. 👍

[@perthzakugirl6288]

Love the rambles! I really like those MaK kits they look very gundam esq to me! I’m also a big fan of the Battle of Britain - my grandfather was one of the engineers who designed all those planes wings during the war :)

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Thanks very much J and OMG, now THAT is a cool story. I want to know more!

[@AndreasStrusch]

Very informative and entertaining video! Your pronounciation of Kröte is spot on! Remember when you called to discuss Zyklop over Kyklop that morning (your lunch break). Keep posting , mate!

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Cool, thanks!

[@axtmann]

I love these chats and you are absolutely correct about that feeling of FOMO with Ma.K

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Thanks and I hope I can help with ways around the FOMO. 💪

[@itsrifahanif]

more like this please, this is so enjoyable~ thanks

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Sure thing!

[@DrewberryHobbies]

i need to get my hand on more Ma.K kits but i still need to finsh my first one aka mainly paint them and such

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Yes of course, that's a good plan. ^^

[@bohica76]

you got the german letter right, ß is a long "S" . it may be replaced by an "SS" as in straße or strasse , for example

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

thanks!

[@bohica76]

@@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright no, thank you for these insightful videos. We all have some story or connection why the models mean something to us, I have mine why they're special to me. Your commentary adds another dimension to that

[@Natto-Over-Rice]

Building the Luna diver next! Love the design and I am up for a challenge. Thank you for the talk Lincoln-sensei.

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Have fun!

[@Heeresbergfuhrer]

Super stuff Linc! Thanks for the background information and sparking the Ma.K. fire back into me. I've been in and out of model building since the mid-1960's. I was living in Germany back in the 1980's when the Ma.K. stuff first started hitting the hobby shops. As a WWII armor modeller, I really liked the futuristic take that Ma.K. was bringing to the hobby. I still have a few of those original NITTO kits in my stash. I think I'll dust them off and give them a go! Horrido! (German version of "Tally-Ho!")

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Excellent and yes, they are perfect for armor builders. Horrido!

[@StirlingDuncan]

Great video, and the photo references and more prepared nature sticks a lot more in my head compared to the coffee shop recountings.

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Well said Stirling! This should be more value for us and the community right?

[@laugh78]

the black plastic is very beneficial during weathering phase when i chipped too hard to the bare plastic ( very often ) . thanks Linc !

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Yes, you are 100^ on target there Tim and most welcome!

[@modelsbyakko8310]

Just discovered Maschinen Krieger... I want in. It looks so cool!

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

You're in!

[@brucethemodelnoob]

I’ve been thinking about dipping my toe into Ma.K. since I heard you on the Plastic Posse Podcast, and found this kit when I was looking around eBay. It looks like a nice kit. The paint colours almost look like a late war German tri-colour scheme. Would it be acceptable in the Ma.K. universe to adapt this slightly into a German hinterhalt (ambush) pattern used in the second half of 1944? (Can you tell I’m normally an armour guy?)

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Hello Bruce, welcome. Yes, I am also an armour guy and an airplane guy but let's keep that a secret between us! Yes, Ma.K looks very good in both AFV and AIR patterns from all sides of WWII, slightly adapted of course and we usually don't keep the full insignia. Unit markings or nose art seems to travel well but nationality or forces markings seem a little out of place. Yes, your paint collection will look right at home, have fun!

[@kyomeka]

Granpa's cough medicine! Love it.😂

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

The best!

[@The_Burning_Sensation]

All this info on the background of Ma.K, both the production and the lore, is really interesting to me. I've been a fan of the property and built kits for years now, but could never find much info beyond the most basic outlines.

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@hirsch9634]

Great content! Keep it up Linc! Couple of words: I'm in the middle of building this kit now, and yes, it is an absolute seam fest! But! That's ok because it's just basic model building: file, fill, file, and sand all those seams (and the occasional punch marks... Oh, and the way the parts are attached to the sprues is different...) If you're the kind of model builder who wants to be able to do the minimum required for the build so that you can get right into the painting, well, this kit might disappoint you because you really do need to take your time on the build to get the best result. But ya know, getting back to the basics is a good thing sometimes. In the end this kit is a fun build because, in spite of the seams, everything goes together really well and you've got this huge, very cool creation. And very unique (disregarding it's variants). If you get a chance to purchase a Grosserhund kit

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Hi @Hirsch, oh yes I have made my first and will share soon! ^^

[@cspo]

Love your stories!!

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Glad you like them CSPO, hope you are well. ^^

@@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright I am, thank you. your videos always help (also, as a footnote, I first encounteed the Ma.K Modelling Book 2 and loved it so much I hunted down the first volume all over Tokyo, eventually finding it in Mandarake, Shibuya)

[@ozzydeschapell3618]

I got great name for this show. Ma.k story time staring Lincoln Wright. Lol all jokes aside please keep doing these I feel ma.k needs more background in English. Thank you very much Linc

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

I like it! Most welcome Ozzy ^^

[@toxendon]

Random question: what is the best varnish to get a really smooth and shiny gloss on armor pieces? Preferably a praycan?

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Mr Super Clear Spray can. UV Cut or regular, same performance. ^^

[@toxendon]

@@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright Thank you!!

[@Jay-qv8hq]

Is it possible to buy the rivet heads somewhere I really like using them

[@theycallmelittletoe]

I saw a fellow builder on Instagram make a silicone mold of the rivet head plate to easily pop out a lot.

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

There's so many in each kit, I just keep the ones I don't use and end up with so many but yes, you can also buy them. WAVE, Kotobukiya and Hi-Q Parts all sell fine examples.

[@Jay-qv8hq]

Love this one as soon as I started the lunadiver I had my eye 👀 on this 1

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Excellent!

[@KTenmo]

Thanks for the info Linc!! I had a question I've been building all kinds of kits, scratch building, kitbashing etc. I can say without hesitation I absolutely hate small builds. I've been eyeballing Ma k/SF3D for quite sometime how big is that kit when completed? Keep the great vids coming man!

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Quite large, like a 1/100 Gundam build.

[@KTenmo]

@@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright Thanks Linc! Stay cool, stay safe God bless! BTW I do a fair bit of scratch building so I'm also thinking of a scratch build Ma K'ish design. How problematic do you think that would be?

Great chat sir. Loved it.

Hey Linc. I'm gonna have to check out Battle of Britain.

haha, yes it's a classic!

[@ascensionindustries9631]

I know how you feel about the significant other clamping down on the beers. But she's gone now so it's all freeplay. Cheers. 🍺

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Thanks and sorry... ^^

[@manostroulinos1726]

it's pronounced "Groesser Hoond", Großer Hund, in German, ie "Big Dog", so I think you got the pronunciation 95% correct . Interestingly, in German it also means the Canis Major, the star constellation. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fer_Hund. So it would be very interesting to know which of the two Kow Yokoyama was inspired from. Let us know if you find out. 😎

[@CypressPunk34]

I forgive you Linc.

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

hahaha!

[@ttUterusMaximus]

This kind of videos are great. Like a very interesting history lesson! EDIT: But you did pronounce "Großer Hund" pretty well. And the ß letter is called "S Z" (i guess because it looks like a s z in this old fancy font that was used in germany and austria) or "Scharfes S " (sharp s) in Austria.

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Thanks for the feedback, doing my best!

[@ozzydeschapell3618]

No worries Linc I'll have a Foster's for you Lol🤣

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

haha!

[@rancor1223]

The black plastic never really bothered me. Not great, not terrible. If anything, I cannot stand the silver plastic Kow likes (as far as I know). It makes it very hard to spot issues before priming.

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

Yes, the silver one on the Axeknight, I also think it was a little tough and you are right K Sensei loves the silver! ha!

[@TheKGBtsar]

@@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright does he like silver plastic because it's what Hasagawa used for their old 1/72 WW2 Japanese plane kits? I have a few

[@PaintonPlasticbyLincolnWright]

​@@TheKGBtsar that's actually quite probably, because I remember the snow camo Falke I saw him paint from the start was first coated with silver - I didn't know about the old Hasegawa kits so that's fascinating. Next time I have the chance, I'll ask!

[@shannonlykins1630]

Im gluing up the Grober Hund right now also building Archelon wish i could order more to build differently like the earlier version in the kit also working on Macross Factory 1 100 scale added 5 inches to factory both kits adding more mechs also more people wish i could get more equipment more vehicles to bad Bandai doesn't offer extra vehicle kits that would be Great well Have Fun

thanks Aaron, always learning!

[@Dragon_Werks]

You got the pronunciation very close. That letter ß is known as the "S-tset", producing the "ss" sound, as in kiss or glass. The "d" at the end should be pronounced as a "t": "Grosserhunt". Oh, if you want more terrifying/mortifying than first time public speaking? First time karaoke. Sober.
