Power Armor (2)




Inspired in part by Starship Troopers (the book), a graphic designer in Japan named Kow Yokoyama began designing a series of scratchbuilt and kitbashed models and dioramas for Hobby Japan magazine. It was referred to as "SF3D Original" in its early days, it was later changed to "Maschinen Krieger" In the series, which has continued in one form or another to this day, he too featured a futuristic war fought in powered battle suits. Many of the designs eventually became model kits .
