Aren’t You A Little Badass For A Stormtrooper?

When you put Maschinen Krieger and Star Wars together, only good things can happen. Given both series have their visual roots in “kitbashing” (cannibalising model kits to create a plastic Frankenstein’s Monster), it’s a natural fit, but while you’d expect a model maker to recreate Star Wars’ vehicles in Ma.K’s more rugged style, Kunho Noh’s…
