What is Maschinen Krieger Ma.K ZbV 3000 with Lincoln Wright

What is Maschinen Krieger Ma.K ZbV 3000?

Maschinen Krieger (Ma.K ZBV3000) is a science fiction universe owned by Japanese Illustrator (his preferred job title) Kow Yokoyama Sensei. It started as a series in Hobby Japan magazine with the creation team of Kunitaka Imai san, Hiroshi Ichimura san and Kow Yokoyama san. The then president of Hobby Japan naming the series, SF3D or “Sci-Fi Sunday”. A play on a possible Japanese pronunciation of 3D and to imply an enjoyable weekend spent building plastic models. Hobby Japan then partnered with Nitto Kagaku Kyouzaisha to produce the first generation of SF3D plastic models and who with Imai-san designed the iconic tan box. Ichimura san wrote the story and Kow Yokyama san did the concept art, illustrations and many of the kitbash and sculpted models as original artworks. 

Now Kow Yokoyama Sensei leads of small team of artists and modern kits by Hasegawa Models and WAVE Corporation are currently in production and available as well as a large number of licenced toys, garage kits and goods. There is also talk of a movie! 

I was most fortunate to work inside the Ma.K or Maschinen Krieger studio for many years as one of the creative team working on the core content and decided that it might be a cool idea to share with you an insider’s perspective on what Ma.K means to me, how it seems for the creator Kow Yokoyama Sensei and how it felt at community events in Tokyo interacting with some fans whose passion for the genre stretches right back to the early 80’s when it started. Working with the creator is fantastic but also learning from people in the community who were involved when it was first released was extremely cool and rewarding too. 

I hope this video helps for you to further understand the genre and I appreciate you watching.
