Introduction

Plusmodel has a line of products released under the ‘Easyline’ name. These releases are generally one or two diorama detail pieces. The releases are very affordably priced and most subjects would cost the average modeler more to scratch build.

This Easyline product comes packaged in a plastic envelope with a cardstock sporting the photo of the finished piece in black and white. The two pieces that comprise this kit are cast in grey resin with no casting flaws or bubbles. The casting lugs are placed so they can be easily removed with little or no damage to the pieces. The “Dress Form” is pretty self explanatory in terms of assembly, there are only two pieces. The ‘body form’ and its base, the base attaches to the bottom of the body form. Pretty simple.

Conclusion

This interesting diorama piece would be seen in any nation, any time period (although the base/leg assembly might suggest turn of the 20th century through the 1960’s) Almost every small town had a dress maker/tailor shop where this piece would be at home. I remember as a child seeing something close to this at my Grandmother’s neighbor’s home as the lady always made her own clothes.

I would think this piece would be an interesting detail in the rubble of a burned out building or perhaps dragged out to the street by soldiers for a makeshift sign post. It could also be the classic “soldier in the window” with the addition of a helmet…..think sniper bait.
