introduction

SB models have a nice range of accessories at reasonable prices and I came across their Roadside Crosses when I was down at Duxford for the Military Vehicle Show.

The Set

The set comes packed in a Ziploc plastic bag attached to a hard card which shows the product logo and on the reverse the manufacturers details. A small sticker on the front denotes the product and product code. The set is cast in a cream coloured resin and minimal clean up will be required.

The set comprised two roadside crosses, of a type that can be found in many European countries. The bigger of the two crosses can be mounted onto a brick base that has a flag stone on top. The cross sits under some eves that have a wooded backing, wood grain is shown both back and front. On the cross is a representation of the Christ figure but at this scale without much facial detail. Above the figure is a plaque.

The second cross is on thicker timber, and is open to the elements and sits upon a brick base. Again the Christ figure is present with a plaque above the head. The reverse of the cross will need a little clean up and some fine grain added to the wood.

Conclusion

Two useful diorama items, which could be used in many settings across a large time frame. A little clean up will be required to remove the pour setting but this should not be a problem. Normal precautions apply when working with resin. Both should paint up well and add interest or feeling to any setting.
