Some New images, courtesy of Masterbox Ltd. of another of their interesting WIPs.This time a variation on a theme we showcased a week or two ago...

Even after several years covering New releases for the Site and posting more News reports than I care to remember, when an e-mail arrives from Masterbox, I still manage to get a nice litle 'jolt' knowing that it's going to be something innovative.

With a careful eye on what modelers ACTUALLY want to see in styrene rather than 'creating' a demand, Masterbox have established themselves amongst the elite of figure manufacturers.

The company has shown that figures can be good AND animated, has shown that even well-covered subjects can be given a new 'spin' and that commercially, it makes sense to link a series of releases. They also understand that not everyone can afford resin figures (good though, the majority are).

Here then, are a series of New images from Masterbox, once again featuring an in-progress set which screams with potential.

The working title for the new set is simple 3582 - European Civilians WW II era however, the approach has been very different. Rather than doing a 'generic' set with some 'one-size fits all' rural figures, the company is developing two different styles of figures - one of Eastern Europeans (Ukraine, Russia, Bielorussia etc. etc.), the other of Western Europeans (France, Belgium, Holland etc.). Added to that are a couple of cows and the perfect point of interest for a Vignette or Diorama is created.

Once again, our thanks to our friends at Masterbox for the Update!
