Phoenix Model is making realistic battle-damaged buildings a snap! Their new modular, multi-layered plastic system allows the modeller to make every building different from anyone else's.
From the Phoenix Model announcement:

“Our product HQ35005“The Modern Middle East” is reborn and receiving bookings! The new mould contains PE and transparent glass、A perfect combination for a precision model.

In addition, we launched a new series, the “AnyDo” series. Modellers can very easily make a “damaged walls” effect with cracks and bullet holes.

Modellers can create any kinds of model building appearance and effect they want. From now on your diorama will be unique in the world.

We made an “Intermediate Guidance I --AnyDo series” Video ,you can watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/jggx8Y13l5Q”

See their website for more details. Our thanks to the folks at Phoenix Model for the info!

this is actually quite clever, as no two would be the same. Interesting concept.

Damage is pretty easy to do on a scratched building and ceramic.Really don't see the point of spending money to do it. Tom

Wasn't this product covered a couple of weeks ago by Darrin Baker?

Yes it was, and it still looks like too much work for vacu-form. "Their new modular, multi-layered plastic system allows the modeler to make every building different from anyone else's." BS! I can't recall ever seeing two dios that used the same basic building that weren't different from anyone else's, or from each other. Like Parrot said, why spend $$$ on stuff you can do yourself.

diy,can't see the point of this,just another something, to make you part with cash'just like all the washes and all the rest,mig....and all the rest ,does not make you a better modeller,years ago you tried your own thing,,could rant for hours over ,not just this but the way the hobby is going

Yeah... No. I think this is for ppl. who can't / don't wanna build their own buildings. I think some ppl. are maybe just armor / military builders and don't wanna be an architect - Nuttin wrong w/ that. And if you can, and wanna, you do. Not everybody can be supa modelers like us...

I think it is a great concept and a really neat product. As has been said, not everyone is cut out for making ultra realistic dioramas from scratch. Honestly, there are quite a few "I love that but could never do it myself" types sitting on the fence out there and this product was obviously designed to help them, not us. If it helps some explore modeling a little deeper or boosts a few builders out there to the next level then everybody in the hobby wins. I can recall quite a few conversations about getting folks more involved with the hobby, getting new modelers involved. Well, here is a product that might help some to take that next step in involvement. Help them to get further into the hobby rather than giving up on it. I'm willing to count that as a win. Jim LSA
