Maschinen Krieger Graphics Vol.1 by Hiroshi Yokoyama. Maschinen Krieger (Ma.K ZBV3000) originally began as the science fiction series SF3D which ran as monthly installments in the Japanese hobby magazine Hobby Japan. To develop the SF3D storyline, Kow Yokoyama collaborated with Hiroshi Ichimura (story editor) and Kunitaka Imai (graphic designer). The three creators drew visual inspiration from their combined interest in WWI and WWII armor and aircraft, the NASA Space Program and films such as Star Wars, Blade Runner and Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. Inspired by the Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) model builders who worked on the Star Wars vehicles and spacecraft, Kow Yokoyama built the original models from numerous kits including armor, aircraft, automobiles and several others. The designs were predominantly of Powered Armor Suits, but Yokoyama also created two legged walking tanks, anti-gravity flying aircraft, and automated robot walkers.
