A Ma.K display of kits and my scratchbuilds at Dornoch this October. The Jabberwocks legs in the background behind the Wespe.
I made the roof out of a sign, and the steel walls out of Reynolds heavy duty aluminum foil. Glued to a piece of 4" PVC. Got ahold of some little dies that make the foil corrugated. Still need to work on this technique and paint the roof, install ladders, etc.
I needed a building with unusual dimensions to fit a strange spot on my layout, so I scratch built a modern highrise using plexiglass, styrene, foam core and other details. Check out my blog for more detail on this:

Scratchbuilt hoverbike, made from household junk and white DAS clay. 1/20 scale, kind of Maschinen Kreiger.
Work in progress.. I'm surprised AMT/ERTL hasn't produced one of these. This is based on the "Dukes of Hazzard" CJ5 (which is incorrectly labeled as a CJ-7 on the box).
The top is going to be scratchbuilt using the clear plastic soft-top included in the kit, with styrene. I'm not sure yet what truck bed I will use or if I will just completely scratchbuild a new one. Obviously the chassis will be stretched properly. Should be interesting either way.
1/20 Ma.k style scratch build using a set of cheap (£1) bicycle mudguards, 2 spice jar lids and a yakult bottle. Painted with rattle cans over plasticine masking and weathered with diluted emulsion and water colour washes.
Fujimi Suzuki Escudo Lowride. Changed the wheel to Aoshima 19" ABC Glanzen. Change the front seat from Aoshima Rocket Bunny Toyota 86. Change the steering wheel. Scratch build roof rack. Add muffler tip detail. Add scratch build antena in front right. Finished in Candy Lime Green (TS-52) with Grey/Buff interior. Custom setting suspension. Figure from Fujimi driver set with custom clothing.
Ma.k Maschinen Kreiger inspired model, scratchbuilt using toy parts, a plastic bowl, white DAS clay and greeblies, unfinished and a work in progress

1/20 scale SF3D/Maschinen Kreiger style scratchbuild inspired by the works of Kow Yokoyama, most notably the Gradiator/Gladiator, Kafer and Sturm-Kafer
Ma.k Maschinen Kreiger scratchbuilt space suit, made with old packaging, pens, old mouse parts and other "junk" bits. Body was made from a large spherical two peice promotional chewing gum packet coated with a layer of white DAS clay
The engine and transmission dont bear much resemblance to the real thing. The engine block is the right sort of shape but the transmission appears to be completely made up.
Given that I've removed the engine bay baffles I need to make the engine look a bit more realistic, more to come.
Plus I need to figure out how to build the transmission...
My rough scratchbuild based on Makoto Kobayashi's "C-Eyes". Not this is not intended to be a replica as I am not using any of the correct donor kits.

The turret is turned to the right and the gun barrels are aimed at about a 35° angle.
I decided to scratchbuild the boiler house and water tower that existed at Malago Vale to pre heat the coaches stored in the sidings.

Basic kit is Aoshima Nissan Terrano R3M, converted to 2 doors. Custom setting suspension to fit larger tyres. This kit was brought from Japan by My Brother, so I have to build it. Since I already have two Terrano kits, then this one should be different. Finished in Mica Blue (TS-50) with Light Gun Metal Grey (TS-42) with Gaia EX Clear Coat. Interior finished in Gray/ Brown. Scratch build front winch, bull bars, over fenders and rear air deflector. Wheel from Fujimi Suzuki Samurai kit, tyres from Aoshima Hilux Surf Wide.
