Zombieland, Edge Of The Universe, Under Fire and Pin-Up

I was a little taken back when I received a large envelope from Master Box Ltd.  I was expecting a box containing four-boxed model kits inside.

Immediately upon opening the envelope I saw what the folks at Master Box had done.

Since Master Box Ltd. is located in the Ukraine, what better way to save on postage than to fold up the model boxes, slip in the model part trees and mail them in a smaller package!  

Clever-I’ll have to remember that trick when and if I ever mail something overseas.

I love it when people find creative ways to save money.

Back to the model kits.  As I mentioned, there are four kits.  But, before I get into each kit I’d like to mention something they all have in common.

All of the models are 1/35 Scale except one which is 1/24 Scale.

The model kit boxes feature full color art by I. Varavin that perfectly capture the scenes that can be set up and make perfect color guides for painting.

Model kits parts come on a single parts tree.  Parts are easily identifiable either on the back of the package or on a separate part diagram within the model kit.

Parts detach easily from the part trees, have little or no flashing, clean up easily and fit together perfectly when assembled.

Sculptor A. Gagarin has done an excellent job of down-scaling each model part and really capturing details right down to fingers, cloth folds, facial features and accessories, weapons or other non-figure pieces.

I suggest you stock up on military paint, flesh color paint and a wide assortment of other paints in various colors.  Painting guides are also included on each model kit.

All of the figures will benefit from special texturing, backgrounds and settings.

For excellent examples of this take a moment to visit Master Box Ltd.’s website to see what  model makers creations form around the world have done.

Part trees come wrapped in an easy resealable plastic sleeves.  What a great way to keep parts from detaching as you build your model.

Pin-Up harkens back to the days of WWII when bathing beauties posed in patriotic bathing suits to delight soldiers on the field. 

Six such beauties are included in the kit along with an American flag.

Everybody seems to love movies and TV shows about the living dead.

Zombieland Series “Zombie Hunter-Road To Freedom” sees a motorcycle riding, pistol-packing mama taking on four zombies in various stages of decay.  For a little added extra be sure to purchase one of Master Box’s motorcycle model kits for her to ride.

At The Edge Of The Universe, Strange Company’s Adventures Episode 1, The First Meeting has a space jockey and a rather amorous robot chatting with silver-clothed intergalactic waitress.  Weapons, refreshments and armor are included.

Under Fire. Modern US Infantry recreates four foot soldiers dressed in full military regalia taking fire.  Talk about realism!

Everything is spot on with realistic weapons, uniforms and stances.  It’s like watching a firefight in miniature!

I have to say I am impressed by each model and I highly recommend to both novice and veteran model makers to purchase any of Master Box Ltd.’s model kits.  You will not be disappointed.
