...3 new figure sets due soon
MB Models have been good enough to send through some details of three new figure sets that they are set to release during November/December 2017. Two for native American Indians, one of the modern Bundeswehr soldier which once again provides a set which tells a particular story, though the figures can of course be used individually as an alternative. The other set features Native American Indians, all in action poses.
1) 35128 "Indian Wars Series. Remote shot" - the kit continues the series of the figures in 1/35 scale dedicated to the period of history of the USA of the XIXth century and relates to the time of so-called “Indian Wars”. The kit includes parts for the assembly of two figures of foot Indian Warriors that are either hunting, or trying to shoot unwary lonely traveller from remote distance. Both Indians are armed with the rifles. Despite the poses of the figures are static the figures interact with each other greatly and are filled with inner energy, create absolute feeling of tense pause before dramatic event.
The kit allows creating both an independent diorama and also more large-scale diorama with the use of the figures from the series of kits of quite full value already: 35191, 35188 or 35138.
We would like to repeat that despite static nature of the story the kit is filled with the bright emotion, the figures are united by the single story and they are animated very well and interact with each other greatly.
Both figures can be used one by one, at the same time each figure has so bright expression that it allows seeing the whole story even in the single figure.
The kit is in 1/35 scale.
2) 35138 "Indian Wars Series. Raid" - the kit continues the series of the figures in 1/35 scale dedicated to the period of history of the USA of the XIXth century and relates to the time of so-called “Indian Wars”. The kit includes parts for the assembly of two figures of foot Indian Warriors that went on the warpath. The poses of the figures are very dynamic, the figures interact with each other greatly and tension of possible near fight is felt in the story.
The kit allows creating both an independent diorama and also more large-scale diorama with the use of the figures from the series of kits of quite full value already: 35191, 35188 or 35128.
The kit is filled with the bright emotion, the figures are united by the single story, they are animated very well and interact with each other greatly.
We would like to emphasize also that both figures can be used one by one, at the same time each figure has so bright expression that it allows seeing the whole story even in the single figure.
The kit is in 1/35 scale.
3) 35195 "Bundeswehr. German Military Men, Present Day"– the kit relates to the period of Modern Wars and consists of 5 figures: 3 members of the armoured vehicle crew and 2 Infantrymen. The figures make up the single story showing a combat scene that could happen in any corner of Afghanistan or Iraq nowadays.
Despite the offered story is rather calm, the whole scene looks very live, dramatic, the figures are animated very well and interact with each other greatly and this kit can both enliven the diorama with the use of models of techniques greatly and serve as the basis for creating mini-diorama.
Also we would emphasize that the figures in the given kit can be used not only in the look offered by the manufacturer, but also separately, in any combination, at modeller’s choice.
The kit is performed in 1/35 scale.
4) 24024 “Ancient Greek Myths Series. Satyr” - this kit is the answer to the need of the figures in Fantasy style and it is the part of the series of kits performed in new 1/24 scale for Master Box company. Also this kit continues new series of kits based on Ancient Greek Myths that relates rather to Fantasy than is a strict historical illustration. Exactly therefore our figure of Satyr is performed unusually and in spite of widespread stereotype that Satyr is utmost amorous character spending time in amorous frolics with beautiful nymphs, the character created by us is not traditional and known publicly as merry goat-footed libertine, but fierce and powerful warrior that is clearly of fantasy style that both strict devotees of mythology of ancient times and fans of fantasy genre will like.
The figure is performed on high artistic level, its whole pose is filled with life and motion and this is exactly that case, when the single figure can show the whole story.
The choice of 1/24 scale exactly for this series of the kits is caused by that it the most preferable scale for the figures of such kind that allows reaching more qualitative level of performing details that is highly appreciated by the modellers. Besides, the diorama performed with the use of the single figure looks more efficiently exactly in this scale than, for example, in 1/35 scale.
We would emphasize that besides high artistic level the figure is very simple in the assembly and it will give a lot of pleasure to modellers during the work with it.
The figure will allow the modeller using it for creating both of independent mini-diorama and of a large-scale scene with the use of other figures of Master Box company of the same series, for example, of the figure of Centaur (24023 kit).
The kit is in 1/24 scale.
