Masterpiece Models: New Diorama Pieces


Monday, March 01, 2010 - 07:42 PM GMT

By JIM RAE
Two new, 1/35th scale Diorama Bases have been announced by Masterpiece Models. In addition, there's a third release which is difficult to categorize...

The two Diorama bases are:

CD70095 - Factory Boiler Room Diorama Base ($ 39.99)

Factory boiler room diorama base - detailed boiler and stove, realistic brick texture, with wooded planked loading platform. Measures 7"x9"

MMPT004 - Japanese Sandbag Bunker Diorama Base ($ 49.99)

Detailed diorama base featuring a removable bunker lid for easy access for placement of figures and equipment. Realistic sandbags and ground texture highlight this larger diorama base.

Finally, an interesting and unusual release in 1/12th scale:

MMPT005 - Little Boy Atomic Bomb ($ 64.99)

This 1/12th scale replica of the "Little Boy" atomic bomb features accurate fittings and surface details. Kit also comes with small loading trailer perfect for display.

I like the Japanese bunker module. Good thing for a South Pacific dio.

Tarok SAID
Jon does some nice stuff - I wonder if he did the factory base as well. Nice work on the box-art of the bomb, Rick :)

Hi Rudi, Bob Letterman did the pattern on the Factory - I did the painting on all three of these releases. Thanks for the comments- talk to you soon. Rick

Tarok SAID
I was going to say the factory looked like your painting style, but I wasn't 100% certain. Wow - King Bob's still doing patterns? That's awesome. :) p.s. did you get my mail via pA a few weeks ago re. the Flak frame?

slodder SAID
Rick - that's Bob's factory! Nice. Great to hear Bob is still producing masters. The whole lot is really nice.

Martinez SAID
I think the boiler room was first produced as a Stalingrad ruin for Custom Dioramics. That Pacific bunker base is nice. Might need to get me one. :-)--<

It is an old Custom Dioramics mold, as I have one sitting here in a CD box. Nice to see these seeing the light of day again!!
