This site is undergoing maintenance. Be patient while I look for a new theme.


This site is a gallery of my finished builds, in-progress projects, tips, reviews, and reference articles. I have expanded my interests into armor modeling but the main focus of this site is still SF3D/Maschinen Krieger.

SF3D was a Sci Fi plastic model series which ran during the mid 1980s. The series was created by artist Kow Yokoyama with Kunitaka Imai and Hiroshi Ichimura. SF3D was introduced in the Hobby Japan Magazine as a special monthly installment of scratch built models. Nitto, a small Japanese company picked up the rights to make plastic kits of Kow's designs. The models produced were very high quality with crisp molding, fine details and they included copper rod, brass tube, spring coils, and photo-etched parts. They were one of the first multimedia kits produced. The series ended after a few years. In 1998, the series was reintroduced by Nitto and Kow under the new name Maschinen Krieger Zbv 3000.

The MT-25 was a light tank proposal submitted in February 1943.  Only drawings exist as no prototype was ever built. The 25-ton design claimed to have improved armor, high speed and long range. The running gear functioned like a skid steer tractor where each wheel was a drive wheel. By adding tracks, it functioned like a tank to traverse rough ground. The unsolicited design was rejected by the Defense Committee for being too complex.

This is my first time building one of the newer Tamiya KV kits.  I made some modifications to represent a specific BeutePanzer Panzerkampfwagen KW II – 754 (r).

The Robot Battle V MK44 H BlackKnight Plus is an original design by LoveLove Garden/Saito Heel. I have previously built his BlackKnight and Queens 'B' Knight  and loved both of them. The BlackKnight Plus is described as a Lunar Descent Assault Unit.

The Panzer Kampf Anzug Ausf. H0 (PKA) was one of the first armored suits that Kow built for the original Hobby Japan photo stories. It's an absolute favorite design of mine. I've built several of the original Nitto kits but this is my first go at the newer Wave release.
