Hello friends, here are the results and home to the amazing entries for the 2022 Ma.K Competition.

It’s taken a little longer to organize compared with previous years, sadly because the kind person helping me organize this, Mr. Andy Butcher passed away suddenly. He is dearly missed.

To honor Andy and all the work you’ve all put into your entries, we decided to press on and do our very best.

We’ve also invited Kow Yokoyama Sensei, Max Watanabe Sensei, and Master Bryan “Maschinen” Krueger for judging and feedback. Please consider this both a “Competition” and “Showcase” as we’ve done our best to blend both worlds for you into a truly authentic & unique experience.

MK44 The Ma.K Lincoln Report Vol.1 SOLD OUT!!!

$49.50

Thank you in advance for your patience, as you can imagine we have been incredibly busy with getting my new book “The Ma.K Lincoln Report Vol.1 MK44 Guide” shipped out to you!

Many thanks always,

Lincoln

The Andy Butcher Gallery

Our late and great friend was such a fan of the Ma.K Comps and well all out for this year’s event. So happy for him that he managed to finish all three of his entries.

I wish I could tell him how proud I am of his work and his diligent improvement. Andy found me from Gunpla content on YouTube and became extremely interested and really good with Maschinen Krieger kits. His works and photography skills over the last 3 years were still improving rapidly.

What impressed me the most was that Andy was always willing to listen and take new ideas and make them his own. So not only was Andy one of the most helpful people on the Paint on Plastic team but had grown into a fantastic artist in his own right.

The high quality & accuracy of the writing in “The Ma.K Lincoln Report Vol.1 - The MK44 Guide” is largely due to the proofreading and kind suggestions from Andy who we have credited with “English to English” translations, a joke he found hilarious.

He's dearly missed and here we can enjoy his last works. So proud and happy with them, for him.

Thanks Andy!

Kow Yokoyama Sensei’s Comments on Andy’s Works

Oskar - グリーン系迷彩がカッコイイ。傾いた展示も最高にアクティブでクール！

“The green tone of the camouflage is excellent. The titled display gives motion, it’s very cool.”

Lunadiver- リアルな感じが素晴らしい！スタンドも黒なので宇宙に見えます。ライトも効果的！

“So much realism! The black base really adds to the feeling of it being in space. Very effective lighting too.”

Falke - 崖のギリギリを飛行するシーン最高にスリリング！！とても上手い展示です。

“So thrilling to see the Falke flying much too close to the cliffs! A brilliant display!

The Full Paint on Plastic Maschinen Krieger Competition and Group Build Gallery for 2022

Dear friends, I must humbly admit that I can do better for you. I missed at least these 2 entries and they were both not presented to the judges and not included with the main galley that follows directly below them. I am sincerely sorry about this, they are both fantastic builds of high quality and you invested a great deal of time and passion into doing your very best. I need to do my best to improve for you.

Next year, I will once again publish a “soft copy” version of the gallery before sending it to the judges to try to avoid missing any entries. For this, I will need your help to ensure no entries are missed, and sincerely thank you in advance for your support.
