"Oh, Hello!"

Painted in 2025

1/20th scale Maschinen Krieger PKA AUSF H0 from Wave corp.

I fell in love with Maschinen Kriger suits last year. I saw this particular suit and thought a project that combined a Bust and a Vehicle in one would be quite interesting. This fusion of display painting and scale modeling was a rollercoaster of techniques and styles that was so much fun to explore and learn with. This kit lit a fire of inspiration and introduced me to the 1/20th or 90mm scale. I now have several Maschinen Krieger projects planned.

I brought this piece to the Nova Open Capital Palette 2025, and it was fortunate enough to win a few awards. - Gold medal in Vehicle Journeyman - Best of Category in Vehicle Journeyman - Best of Journeyman Division

This piece also earned me my first Verko's Vault mark.

After the wins at the Capital Palette I decided to take the piece to the Las Vegas Open 2025 (OCT) to drop off the piece and enter it in the Verko's Vault Master's Championship. It was again fortunate enough to win the Gold medal in the vehicle Category.

This piece now lives at the Verko's Vault museum in Las Vegas.

Thanks for looking!
