Ma.K Großer Hund Unboxing Review Maschinen Krieger with Lincoln Wright 

Check out the photos and a more coherent write up here on my blog! bit.ly/MaKGroßerHundReview

I’m really glad to watch these videos with you talking. This info is invaluable to anyone who is interested. I expect even more so to those who only speak English. Thanks 🙏

Yes Linc, your ramble has great value, and is also very enjoyable, no worries! Keep it up! Many thanks!🙂🙂🙂

I've just learned of these kits and already have the Lum Camel on the way. I have recently got back into modelling after taking a long enforced break for health reasons, now I have regained around 95%of my mobility on my left side I feel I can enjoy the hobby once again.

I really enjoy your rambles Linc! Keep em coming :)

I just got this model and I love it. The awesome organic curves, and the overall design are fantastic.

You are doing really well with the videos. As a former US Marine recruiter, you are exactly spot on

Big up Linc ! Always enjoy listening more is better . Ramble on

more like this please, this is so enjoyable~ thanks

as someone who just discovered Maschinen Krieger in 2022 i have no disappointment for missing out. I'm just excited to get my first kit

I’ve only recently come across your videos, but I find them very informative as well as relaxing to watch. It’s great to hear you talk about a hobby and a profession that you enjoy so much; it really shows through I’m not only WHAT you say, but how you say it. Looking forward to watching more of your videos in the future. 👍🏻👍🏻

This kit finally arrived today. When I opened it and saw the complexity of the instructions, the number of pieces and the one page "correction" insert, I was ...terrified! I'm glad for this video. cheers

Love love love the video and the stories associated with the kit. Very nice to see

So glad you are doing these videos. Since watching these I've been inspired to buy four Ma.K kits. The Hornisse, Kuster, GroBer Hund and the Altair. I'm about ready to start the Hund and I look forward to using several of the techniques you've demonstrated in your videos.

I enjoy the background on the franchise, and the background on its creation and path through time, but what I really want and can’t find much of online is the lore of the different sides and factions. Is every kit specific to a certain side? Can the mk44 be used by either side? Is the lunadiver only for a specific side? How about the falke ? I build and paint these things but I like to be lore accurate so I need all the info I can get. Love your channel and your Reverence for the hobby in general. Keep it up

You are such a delight listening to, I really enjoy how much I learn from this format of "ramble"-history video :) I haven't really given the Großer Hund much though, but this made me want one for my little collection :D

Just discovered Maschinen Krieger... I want in. It looks so cool!

Very informative and entertaining video! Your pronounciation of Kröte is spot on! Remember when you called to discuss Zyklop over Kyklop that morning (your lunch break). Keep posting , mate!

I love these chats and you are absolutely correct about that feeling of FOMO with Ma.K

Great vid Linc. Such a fantastic looking kit. Would really love an in depth review of a finished build. Articulation, posability, accesories etc. I need to find me one of these!

Granpa's cough medicine! Love it.😂

Love the rambles! I really like those MaK kits they look very gundam esq to me! I’m also a big fan of the Battle of Britain - my grandfather was one of the engineers who designed all those planes wings during the war :)

The detail of this plastic kit is outstanding, once built it actually looks as if its been an impossible build with those cables and clear len's but everything comes together easily (it did for me) and the decals, the Ma.k decals are the best on the market its just a shame you can't buy them separate and if you could, they wouldn't be cheap

the black plastic is very beneficial during weathering phase when i chipped too hard to the bare plastic ( very often ) . thanks Linc !

Love your stories!!

Love the rambling

Great video! So glad you decided to continue on with the history and background stories of "the making of" Ma.K. Thanks, Linc! Any ideas on where to learn more about the lore of the Ma.K universe?

Great video, and the photo references and more prepared nature sticks a lot more in my head compared to the coffee shop recountings.

Building the Luna diver next! Love the design and I am up for a challenge. Thank you for the talk Lincoln-sensei.

i need to get my hand on more Ma.K kits but i still need to finsh my first one aka mainly paint them and such

you got the german letter right, ß is a long "S" . it may be replaced by an "SS" as in straße or strasse , for example

Great video Everybody should share your channel.

Great chat sir. Loved it.

Great content! Keep it up Linc! Couple of words: I'm in the middle of building this kit now, and yes, it is an absolute seam fest! But! That's ok because it's just basic model building: file, fill, file, and sand all those seams (and the occasional punch marks... Oh, and the way the parts are attached to the sprues is different...) If you're the kind of model builder who wants to be able to do the minimum required for the build so that you can get right into the painting, well, this kit might disappoint you because you really do need to take your time on the build to get the best result. But ya know, getting back to the basics is a good thing sometimes. In the end this kit is a fun build because, in spite of the seams, everything goes together really well and you've got this huge, very cool creation. And very unique (disregarding it's variants). If you get a chance to purchase a Grosserhund kit

Super stuff Linc! Thanks for the background information and sparking the Ma.K. fire back into me. I've been in and out of model building since the mid-1960's. I was living in Germany back in the 1980's when the Ma.K. stuff first started hitting the hobby shops. As a WWII armor modeller, I really liked the futuristic take that Ma.K. was bringing to the hobby. I still have a few of those original NITTO kits in my stash. I think I'll dust them off and give them a go! Horrido! (German version of "Tally-Ho!")

Love this one as soon as I started the lunadiver I had my eye 👀 on this 1

All this info on the background of Ma.K, both the production and the lore, is really interesting to me. I've been a fan of the property and built kits for years now, but could never find much info beyond the most basic outlines.

Thats how you get it done ✔ 👍

I got great name for this show. Ma.k story time staring Lincoln Wright. Lol all jokes aside please keep doing these I feel ma.k needs more background in English. Thank you very much Linc

Hey Linc. I'm gonna have to check out Battle of Britain.

Im gluing up the Grober Hund right now also building Archelon wish i could order more to build differently like the earlier version in the kit also working on Macross Factory 1 100 scale added 5 inches to factory both kits adding more mechs also more people wish i could get more equipment more vehicles to bad Bandai doesn't offer extra vehicle kits that would be Great well Have Fun

I’ve been thinking about dipping my toe into Ma.K. since I heard you on the Plastic Posse Podcast, and found this kit when I was looking around eBay. It looks like a nice kit. The paint colours almost look like a late war German tri-colour scheme. Would it be acceptable in the Ma.K. universe to adapt this slightly into a German hinterhalt (ambush) pattern used in the second half of 1944? (Can you tell I’m normally an armour guy?)

Is it possible to buy the rivet heads somewhere I really like using them

Random question: what is the best varnish to get a really smooth and shiny gloss on armor pieces? Preferably a praycan?

No worries Linc I'll have a Foster's for you Lol🤣

Thanks for the info Linc!! I had a question I've been building all kinds of kits, scratch building, kitbashing etc. I can say without hesitation I absolutely hate small builds. I've been eyeballing Ma k/SF3D for quite sometime how big is that kit when completed? Keep the great vids coming man!

my time learning german at school has not be wasted its called a big dog XD

The black plastic never really bothered me. Not great, not terrible. If anything, I cannot stand the silver plastic Kow likes (as far as I know). It makes it very hard to spot issues before priming.

I forgive you Linc.

👍

The ß is a sharp s originating from German writing „sz“ that but nowadays it is mostly replaced by „ss“

I know how you feel about the significant other clamping down on the beers. But she's gone now so it's all freeplay. Cheers. 🍺

Thanks for the black plastic info. I’m not at all mocking up a dio of a certain hotshot Falke crewman being beaten up by a squad of brickworks girls. Not. At. All. Oh man, I bought that fancy new black thin cement everyone was trying out just in time to try it out on black plastic 😂 double count of aggravated modeling.

great vid loving lots of your build and paint advise...ive just recently discovered the Ma.K series anyone know a good place to get them in the uk where i dont have to sell a kidney to be able to afford some??

it's pronounced "Groesser Hoond", Großer Hund, in German, ie "Big Dog", so I think you got the pronunciation 95% correct . Interestingly, in German it also means the Canis Major, the star constellation. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fer_Hund. So it would be very interesting to know which of the two Kow Yokoyama was inspired from. Let us know if you find out. 😎

I like it looks like a turtle

Great video Lin.k! I agree the lore information is definitely welcome and appreciated. Looking forward to more, cheers! (@cygnarly)

This kind of videos are great. Like a very interesting history lesson! EDIT: But you did pronounce "Großer Hund" pretty well. And the ß letter is called "S Z" (i guess because it looks like a s z in this old fancy font that was used in germany and austria) or "Scharfes S " (sharp s) in Austria.

so many seams. like so many it crushes your soul slightly and you have to put it away for about year and a half.

Oh the beautiful German spelling mistakes on the box ;P

That letter is an ess-set don’t know how to write it. Lol

You got the pronunciation very close. That letter ß is known as the "S-tset", producing the "ss" sound, as in kiss or glass. The "d" at the end should be pronounced as a "t": "Grosserhunt". Oh, if you want more terrifying/mortifying than first time public speaking? First time karaoke. Sober.
