MK44 SternenKnight
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.

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

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.

Re: MK44 SternenKnight
Very interesting chipping technique Bryan! I could imagine this works best at larger scales.
Also, nice boomstick
