Masterpiece Models
« on: April 04, 2013, 07:35:59 PM »
An interesting company i came across recently. 

I am especialy interested in some of their services here:  http://www.masterpiecemodels.com/

They also produce some very interesting kits: http://www.masterpiecemodels.com/kits/

I especially like their 1/35 United States Navy Patrol Air Cushion Vehicle:



As well as some of their Scifi kits.

Love to see that concept adapted to a patrol gunboat derivative of the LCAC.

I picked up one of these kits from the North Olympic Plastic Scale Modelers show at Fort Worden last year: 1:35th scale Masterpiece Models M3A2 Utility Hand Cart (kit number MMUTL001)

See attached image below (for the box top).  A very nice little logistics asset :)





*Edit to fix missing image - original Masterpiece Models web link is now unavailable with the claim that the page is currently "under construction" which caused the original hot-linked image to disappear.

Nope.  If anything it will be loaded up with gear but not for WW2.

That could have been FinsRin this morning when the sales clerk had to use a hand truck to move his purchases out to his car :)

I would love to buy his riverine vessels but, like all resin kits, the price ($180 - $200, US, I assume) is too steep for my budget. :icon_sueno:
