PLUSMODEL

 

Diorama Accessories Sets

 (U.S. Army stands, garage equipament, modern bags, workshop gate and footbridge)
Available from Plusmodel for the prices indicated below on the text

 

Well, it`s that time again, the time that we have the lucky to see and review the Plusmodel new items.

Again and again Plusmodel bring us quality and originality.

        All sets are in 1:35 and they come in the standard Plusmodel box (plain boxes and struy boxes from workshop gate and footbridge) being the full build model the box art.

All of the items very well packaged, with the all the parts coming inside of a bubble bag.

 

U.S. Army Jacks stands

(98 resin pieces and 3 photo-etched partes and one decal sheet)

#499

Price tag: 25,90$ (18,20€) – here directly from Plusmodel.

 

The set is the most complex one of all that we have for review.

 

And yes, there`s 96 resin parts and most of it are quite delicate ones.

 

The resin cames in gray colour with no bubbles or distroction. High quality as always with Plusmodel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A saw must be use to remove the parts form the resin blocks with extra care.

 

The assembly instructions must be carefully study because the construction is not quite straightforward.

 

 

 

The PE sheet is very small in the usual Plusmodel quality

 

Modern Bags

(10 resin pieces and one decal sheet)

#465

Price tag: 23$ (16,30€) – here directly from Plusmodel.

 

This set is most welcome to all modern diorama modellers.

10 bagsvery well cast in gray resin with no bubbles or distortions, with very little to clean. Just need to remove the resin cast block and the parts are ready to paint.

 

The details on the bags is very good with treats, zippers, cloth hanging out. 

 

 

 

 Very useful little details set at a very nice price.

There`s no instruction and there´s no need for any. About the colour guide, well, these can be painted with any colour… Just need some pictures of the real thing and just your imagination.

Garage Equipment

 

 

(51 resin pieces, photo-etched sheet and one decal sheet)

 

#497

Price tag: 33,80$ (23,70€) – here directly from Plusmodel.

 

 

This set is my favourite one of this review.

As you can see from the box art, on this set we can get a tool box (with the tools inside like wrenches), a tool chester, an oil extractor and a small rounded compressor.

As always and I becoming repeting myself over and over again, the resin is very well cast being most part of it very fragile as they represent small details.

The cleaning should be quite easy being only the resin cast block and some flash. The most easy cleaning part should be the tool chester.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The instructions are the typical ones from Plusmodel, simple drawings but quite perceptible and intuitive and on this case are most needed because all the equipment have some complexity in the construction.

 

 

 

The decals are very well printed, with words that look quite alike on the real photos

 

The PE parts are very good quality and I still did not found who made then for Plusmodel or if it is self production.

 

 

Workshop Gate

#503

Laser carved hard paper and photoetched sheet

Price tag: 19$ (14€) – here directly from Plusmodel.

 

 Two workshop doors, just to be in the floor are abandoned or destroyed ones.

 

The come with two sheets of hard paper, laser marked.

 

 

 

The Plusmodel website said the is wooden laser but I really don’t think its wood but hard and sturdy some kind of paper.

 

 

 

A small PE sheet with small details like handles and key holes.

Footbridge

#501

Laser carved wood parts

Price tag: 30$ (21,10€) – here directly from Plusmodel.

 

Plusmodel mastered laser carved wood, and they simply can do anything like this footbridge or windmill.

 

 

 

A very realistic one, on real wood with some very good scale dimension and this is also a truly model kit at his own…. Likewise the shed, this does have instructions and the indication and drawings of all parts.

 

 

The structural parts are in thick wooden while the walking structure is in laser cut wood and therefore quite thin and fragile

 

Conclusion:

These sets of accessories for dioramas translate once again well Plusmodel philosophy: originality, quality and versatility.

The quality is of the highest level, with castings at most higher standard and detail is one of the best in modeling world.

Everything is there to help you to make some great diorama with that little extra that highlight your work and make it stand out from others.

 

Very Highly recommended
