In-Box Preview: New Paint

The Complete Kit : The Complete Scene And My Personal Opinion

Well, with the part about the instruction sheets, we came to the end of my "walk trough". Now the time has come to evaluate things. Now the time has come to answer my major question from the start of this article :

"New Paint"... a complete kit, or just another fancy commercial "Box Art Trick ?"

Without any doubt I call this A Complete Kit !

The Box Art is just a perfect example of What You See Is What You Get ! The kit can be used without a figure, like in the box art, or you could add one or more figures, a dog or whatever... the scene provides unlimited possibilities

The contents of the box represents a building that could be found all over Europe and in North America over the last hundred years or so. The general setting and the choice of building makes this kit perfect for a vignette depicting any scene during the last century. The kit includes all items that are shown on the box art.

The quality of the kit is just excellent; No mass production items, but items that where developed and produced with great care. A simple look at the casting quality, the original concept, the personal care that was given to the packaging and the real photographs, tells you that you are dealing with something good.

In my opinion this kit invites the modeler to experiment with colors and weathering techniques and it also challenges the modelers creativity when creating a scene. With the use of different colors, you can make the exact same scene look totally different, and just imagine the creative possibilities this simple scene offers with different types of figures, small animals or ...whatever.

Does the kit offer value for money ?

This new release will be sold at a price of $ 42.00. When you group the last three paragraphs together, it gives you my personal opinion on what I think this kit has to offer you. Since I don't want this review to end up as a riddle, I'll tell you what I think about this product.

I think this kit is a complete, high quality, scene that will invite the modeler to experiment with colors and techniques and that it will challenge his creativity in order to make that special scene. It will also offer him hours and hours of fun modeling.

Therefore I can say with all of my heart that this kit absolutely offers value for money and....more !!

Well, this is it. I hope you enjoyed the article, as much as I did writing it. Right now I'm looking at a kit that has been in front of my eyes, and in my hands for hours and hours in a row, for the past two days. I really examined every piece very, very well. And now, after all those hours with the kit right beside me, I really want to do only one more thing with it .....I want to build it.

I hope this review showed you that I'm really excited about this kit. Maybe at some point it even looks like I'm trying to sell it, but I really don't. This is a review and I have no other connections with the manufacturer other than that I reviewed one of his products. But I DO feel that, if a kit offers the quality that this kit does, I am allowed to express my excitement. Therefore my final verdict (at a rate from 1 to 10) : 9 !

I would like to thank Monroe Perdu for the opportunity to examine this kit. I think this kit is a great addition to their growing product range !
