Maschinen Krieger Scale Model Diorama!

While most people know about Gundam in the sci-fi scale model kit world, the universe of Maschinen Krieger is one that has some of the most striking mecha designs. We chat with Ma. K. builder Heng Wang about his mash-up build, the origins of Maschinen Krieger, and why its kits are so unique.

Thank you very much to Tested, NewType and Heng Wang for the show and coverage of Maschinen Krieger. Sincerely appreciated! 🙇🏻‍♂️🙏🏼👍🏼

[@Gundumb_guy]

Hey it’s uncle link! Idk why I’m just seeing this tested video but I’m only interested because you showed me the way into the Ma. K world! Thanks buddy

[@LimabeanStudios]

Happy to see Ma.k get more attention.

[@mladtheimpaler]

Nice to see this series getting some recognition!

[@CDRaff]

Awesome to FINALLY see some major coverage of MaK. Please make some more videos covering Japanese modeling companies like Wave and Hasigawa; they have a ton of really cool designs and it would be awesome if the demand was higher so importing gets cheaper.

[@LaserGadgets]

1:42 why am I imagining him voicing Wolverine in some new cartoon/anime show???

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

I have a couple of Ma.K. kits in my stash. They are very cool. Heng's model is gorgeous!

[@markfoley3402]

I'd love to see Norm & Adam build a Ma.k kit sometime.

[@MrBMBuilder]

Mine be better :)

[@shiva369]

I'm old enough to have bought a MaK kit when it was SF3D, back in the 80s and was blown away by how detailed and slick it was, with its multimedia parts (one of the first such kits - a real eye opener at the time) and amazing packaging and presentation.

[@artscience3453]

Oh, that's the name. I thought youtube was autotranslating again.

[@KnuckleHunkybuck]

I had the exact same thought, especially because I've got a VPN.

[@PhunnyConflicts]

Love the mk universe. Reminds me of an alternate 80's setting.

[@lostinthewoods8032]

Heng Wang repping Ma.K all day. Most open and creative builder community out there, get some!

[@StirlingDuncan]

Awesome to see MaK and the handpainting lacquer technique get more attention! Hope people look to buying the Wave and Hasegawa kits if they're interested in them.

[@KVLTWORX]

Yeah, I really hope that MaK can get at least big enough to where stores in the US start stocking it! I don’t mind ordering from Japan but the wait is a little disheartening sometimes haha

[@nikoxenos6237]

My boy Heng Wang! Great video 👍🏻

[@SaiKelly]

Thanks to Norm and team for another great video! I do watch them all. If I could offer a little constructive criticism for the camera op; for the detail shots, can I suggest a deeper depth of field? Seeing all the wonderful effort the artist has put in is great, love the detail shots but the focal depth is very shallow. Do you shoot with an external screen? Thanks for these guys, keep up the good work! Look forward to the next!

[@IRATEPROSTATE]

Dude I love Ma. K. Love to Sensei KOW

[@doncarlton4858]

I bought my first kit in 1985 from a hobby shop quite by accident. The hobby shop owner had little information about them but liked the Sc-Fi vibe. They were originally called S.F. 3D. Now I have several including resin figures and aftermarket conversion kits. I'd love to see Tested do a build or review of one of these kits!

[@MrChief101]

Love MK world-- excellent practitioner.

[@cloverncross]

Great job Heng, cool vid Norm & tested crew!

[@cycoholic]

I saw a handful of these kits for sale in a local hobby store around 8 years ago, and thought they looked amazing. I loved the alt universe they belonged to. I was told they were long out of production. But I couldn't afford them at the time. By the time I had the money, they had all been sold. Since then I had totally forgotten about them. Now to learn that there are companies making them still, and a movie in the works....amazing!

[@lorcannagle]

A lot of them are out in plastic these days and quite affordable. I need to get some.

[@danielbrickson401]

That custom kitbash Kshatriya in the background 😍

[@Eaglescout217]

That's actually a Sinanju Stein with Kshatriya's backpack and boosters

[@GurtMcDirt]

Oh snap, that’s kvltworx?! Dude has mad skillz!

[@TabletopLenny]

MASCHINENKRIEGER! On the list for a long time!

[@JMChladek]

We so need to get Tested to attend a Wonderfest.

[@AxelLeJeff]

I had that suit kit from MK, I got it because it reminded me of the LV Armor in Metal Slug 3.

[@OpenItAlready]

The detail is so awesome. That freestyle though!

[@Animuldok]

I like the composition. I just had one thought that bothered me.... I hope that center foot pedal controls something unimportant. :D

[@robk.5467]

Norm...buy, build and paint one.

[@pc2753]

More MaK!

[@Coconut-219]

Anyone sort of get Metal Slug vibes, especially from the suit design

[@ckngmad1357]

Dudes sounds metal af

[@corbitgiberson7989]

MaK! W00t!

[@_o__o_]

[@BlitzkriegGT]

[@chinaman1]

[@Man_De]

Please please please please please make Mandalorian armor

[@GurtMcDirt]

Can’t wait for Norm to mispronounce Ma.K for years to come.

[@Mor4me]

I remember that, pricey at the time, min wage was $3.35 an that key was like $25.

[@pawpawstew]

Cpl.Robert Bush would be proud.

[@charleshenderson9578]

I cant see why people goes wild over these robots..models...

[@DrIcchan]

Google Dust Tactics.

[@KRiderMan1248]

if there are contests i hope that 3D printing isnt allowed. It seems like it be cheating alomost

[@derschwartzadder]

What is it with Japanese stuff with German names? #confused

[@doncarlton4858]

It's part of the universe back story. One of the warring factions in this universe is from a star system colonized by the German speaking people from Earth.

[@Monkeyshaman]

Goddammit norm stop clickbaiting me.

[@Andrew-el8xi]

This stuff is really cool hope that bloke sorts his throat out sounds like a batman voice it's like he's trying to hard to make his voice deeper

[@Auxius.]

So you've turned OFF the comment section on the new video, so i'll voice my mind here. Where is Adam Savage, and why are there three ladies that I don't know, making a commercial for apple TV plus, talking about gender politics (not to mention unable to ask this on the video itself). Please accept my unsubscribe.

[@eytanguler2861]

[@xxthebigtoexx1857]

Andy Nguyen you are second noob

[@Monkeyshaman]

[@Eisenhornk]

Is he.. faking his voice deeper?!

[@FaceMeetsFloor]

I know the guy, that’s his normal voice

[@Eisenhornk]

@@FaceMeetsFloorHuh. Tell him good job on the diorama from me then..!

[@cloverncross]

He's a Good guy, pretty sure he is in a rock or alternative band of some kind as well. Great to see the interest in Ma.K here.

[@samson5erb312]

First

[@Monkeyshaman]

👍

[@kjohn5224]

I'm so pissed off by your latest video where you've (probably wisely) turned the comments off, that I'm going to comment here. Stop ruining this channel!

[@crozraven]

very cowardly & quite pathetic with the disabled comments on the new video guys.

[@xxthebigtoexx1857]

That’s real cool
