It was my entry in Ma.K. Web Competition - Web Tenjikai "That's Ma.K" category
Simple&Fast and a lot of fun!
This is what I usually do with all my AFS models:
- Resculpting joints with Aves Apoxie Sculpt over a 4mm aluminium wire.
If you want to use the stock rubber joints, check this helpful step by step: <page1> <page2> in compressing Wave Luna Pawn joints from Crasher Eddy's blog.
"Compressed" joints help with the menacing look.
- Insert 1mm plasticard plate between Wave pieces to have bulky legs

Ma.k Story 2882-2885
23.491 suits of the AFS, which was the main armored fighting suit of the Mercenery troops at the early stage of the war, were produced.
20.992 of them were Mk.II of which each part was refined and which had higher productivity and defensive power, and 2.315 of the rest were Mk.I which was the earliest type of the AFS.
The Mk.II took a great invincible active part on the battlefield because the Shutoral side had no effective countermeasure.
