Artist: Klav

Kevin Derken (American, b. 1973), who uses the guise Klav, is known for his hand built and modified model kits, especially those pertaining to Maschinen Krieger. Having founded A1 Plastik in early 2013 as a brand to associate his work to, he eventually became known for his own aesthetic using 3D printed skulls.
