Please don't say these are in bad taste too!!

I hope they can bring the faces and the hair as on the illustrations.
Just noticed that the ladies wearing NO BRAS1 I hope they will sell in the US.

I doubt they will look exactly like the drawings.. but if they're somewhat close, that'll be nice

Oh, God! I didn't notice there were no bras.. now people are going to start screaming "PORN"

Hisham

Or better Porn actresses?

What will be next? Girls with bras/bikini tops and hotpants washing a muscle car? Then a lot of gloss coat will be needed. Or how do you make foam bubbles in scale?

I noticed that the hairdo in the "A Short Stop" series look a little stiff. A least they are interchangable with Preiser "Eva/Eve" figures.

Now that would be interesting to see... in a bikini car wash

Hisham

I am sure then we will a 1/24 scale foam agent from MIG or AK interactive. I rather thought to put the redhaired lady in a Ferrari Testarossa and next to it a figure of Sylvio Berlusconi?

That would be fitting.. Testarossa = red head and of course with Berlusconi...

Hisham

Probably not wearing panties either Especially the first one!

The classic dismount flash

Watch out in looking at the Masterbox website. My antivirus program flashes a warning and blocks malicious software!

Wow so now car modelers can finally display their cars like the 1:1 scale makers have at car shows like for-freaking-ever. Rotating stand and little placard...

So when are we getting a 1/24 scale used car salesman?

Don't worry! Rumours say that Eduard is already working on an etch set bra's and resin wide jeans will come soon too from Plus.

I wait for the day when some companies will release Dragon-like action figure with seamless bodies in 1/35 and 1/24 scale (add your own favored scale) so that we can choose between bras and panties or not...

Found out how Preiser is sculpting their figures.

One can watch the sculpting progress when on the Nuremberg Toy Fair.

Sort of...

Check out the various "fat guys" that JIMMY FLINTSTONE casts in resin- Very little conversion work could make them into the stereotyped "sleazy crooks" which the general public seems to think that ALL car salesmen are.

I worked in Auto Sales for about 8 years, during my rather lengthy stay in the automotive business, and the group of fellas that I worked with were all decent "family" guys who wouldn't have screwed anyone. WHY would they want to? Research has proved that a "screwed" customer would tell an average of 250 people that he or she had a negative experience at such-and-such dealer; in turn, these 250 people tell "x" amount of people about the bad experience, which they embellish with their own brand of nonsense, making a bad experience even worse. "Screwing" customers is bad for business, in the very long run. WE wanted our customers to return, not stay away and bad-mouth us...

"One bad apple" can ruin a dealer's reputation pretty quickly. As a matter of fact, today's POLITICIANS are vastly more distrusted than CAR SALESMEN ever were...

OK, back "On Topic"

As to the figures, I think that they certainly look "cute", and I just might invest in a few of them, in order to "pose" them with some of my more "modern" 1/24 and 1/25 cars. Most of my car models are "Classics" and "Special Interest" cars of the 1920s thru 1970, with the odd present-day Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferarri and a few 1950s-1970s "muscle" cars. I've also built a few "traditional" 1950s-1960s Hot Rods...

As a "post note"- These girls are TAME, when you compare them to the likes of Miley Cyrus with her "twerking" antics onstage, and Madonna with her sluttish attire and "shock-value" behavior back in her "heyday". I'm not moralizing, just stating facts...

I AGREE that these girls look like, and are dressed like the models we all see at Auto Shows and Expos.

Very NICE, Hans-Hermann! THANKS!!!

How about some nice jewelry for these girls..?

RE: The "panties and bras"- I hope you guys realize that when models wear these skin-tight outfits, they most often wear a nylon "body stocking" which conforms to their natural figures, rather than the the aforementioned panties and bras- What model or designer wants the public to see "panty-lines" and/or "bra cups & straps" showing through their creations' smooth features? Said "panty-lines" and/or "bra cups and straps" DISRUPT the whole magilla!

I don`t think ther jewelry can be done PE since pearl and diamonds are always roundshaped. I wonder if these pretty girls with their fast car have a sugar daddy with an unlimited credit card?

Hi, Hans!

I was joking, but now that I think about it...

I understand what you're saying, but have you ever looked REALLY CLOSE at some of the very finely-etched bolts, screws and nuts that one finds in some of the ABER and VOYAGER PE sets..? AMAZING! I think that PE jewelry in 1/35, 1/24-1/25 and up to the larger scales such as 1/12 and 1/6 can be done quite admirably in PE... If one looks at diamonds, (or rubies, sapphires, emeralds, etc), for example, they are generally multi-faceted, in order to create their "fire". Pearls and certain rounded stones can be micro-cast in resin or plastic, and even to some extent, done in the 3 D processes.

Who knows, we may even gain a few more female modellers, if all kinds of outfits, jewelry, shoes, and other "accessories" were made available in various scales- There are quite a few very accomplished figure builders and painters among our female friends in the scale-modelling community...

RE: The "stiff hair"- Do you mean the girl in the Magenta dress with the dark hair? The hair looks stiff not because it actually is- It's the straight hair that accentuates the slightly "severe" cut of her hairstyle. It's sort of a "modernized Page Boy", which actually made it's debut during the initial stages of the early 1920s avant-garde/art deco movement. Women's dress in that era was finally making it's way out of the straitlaced Victorian era. Men's fashions also acquired a smoother and less constrained look at the same time... I think she's pretty darned cute, myself!!!

Now, consider this- Supposing we could build vignettes of SOLDIERS holding up and admiring certain jewelry items to the light, and considering whether or not to "BUY" said jewelry for their wives, girlfriends, and/or both, "back home"..? Or maybe a scene in some civilian-type of a scenario..?

And the "Sugar Daddy"..? SURE, just get hold of one of the "fat guys" in the JIMMY FLINTSTONE line of figures!!!

NOTE: I only use the term, "fat guys" for want of names for these portly JIMMY FLINTSTONE male figures- They DO have names; I just don't remember them off-hand...

Hi, Hisham!

Definitely NOT a Testarossa, which went into production back in 1984... That delicious red-haired girl is sitting in an F430 Spider...

Oh and yes, that Green Berlusconi that is so nicely clinging to her skin sets off those marvelous Green EYES of hers MOST ADMIRABLY!!!
