Model kits make great gifts - no matter if you are young or old !

Japanese Maschinen Krieger Models and SF3d Independent Mercenary Army (IMA) Kits M.a.k., developed by Kow Yokoyama.

Maschinen Krieger (or, Ma.K for short) are models and figures based on the scifi world of by Japanese artist and sculptor Kow Yokoyama. His original concepts date back to the 1980's.

Originally it was called SF3D, and ran as a series of concepts and articles in Hobby Japan, a model magazine. Around this time, NITTO was making plastic model kits of some of the home made constructions presented in the magazine.(That's why some of those older kits say SF3D on the box). Later in the 1980's, the series was up and running again, but was renamed the Maschinen Krieger series.

The story and world behind the models and Ma.K. figures is that there was a World War IV. in 2087, which eliminates most of the population. Earth was made uninhabitable, but eventualy, groups returned to the planet to mine it's resources. This includes colonists, but also criminals and outlaws.

There ends up being two basic groups in control of Earth, for the most part, and two sides to the conflicts. The SDR Strahl Democratic Republic, and the Independent Mercenary Army (IMA).

NITTO made around 21 different kits originally. Those were all plastic injected models. Later, the model company WAVE also made released some kits, some using the NITTO molds it seems. But they make vinyl figures, fully assembled, as well.

Hasegawa makes many of the plastic model kits of Maschinen Krieger Ma.K. today, They've released various kits over the years, and new ones over the years. These are primarily plastic kits you assemble and paint (and weather).

There are two popular scales to the models: 1/20 scale, and 1/35. The 1/35 scale is a military scale, so there are thousands of other model kits that can be adapted and converted for use in the MaK world.

This allows modelers to make custom models, and projects, and some really great dioramas.
