Royal Model from
Italy have two new diorama sets for you this month – a new resin cast of a ruined
house in the Ardennes in 1/48th scale and some 35th scale
ruins with those nasty SS troopers using it as a hideout – check them both out
in our preview…
Royal Model December
items
The kit contains a wooden
base, resin parts and wire. This kit can be made into a very nice looking
vignette in its own right as you can see on these pictures here.
Included are the two fully armed SS soldiers peeking around
the corner and armed to the teeth. Dressed in warm winter clothes and gloves these
soldiers both carry Mauser 98K riles and ammo as well as some stick grenades
(in their boots no less)
Both soldiers are using the ruin as cover and this is very
beautifully rendered with exposed pipework and bricks in a detailed pattern.
Broken windows, bricks wood and debris all strewn about the kit make the
vignette feel very war weary.
694: House Ruin
(Ardennes)

In twelve parts of grey resin this building fits together
through simple joints which make this set strong and easy to assemble. The
detail in this kit pretty much surpasses most of the contemporaries I have seen
in plaster and Vac-form. If you look at some of these pictures of the roof the
most intricate internal detail and then loose shingles leave a lot of kits of
this ilk in the shade.

The inside of the house and the outside are both able to be displayed
which give you twice the possibilities for display, and maybe the opportunity
to insert a little “trick” in there.

Both kits are available or will be very soon through Royal Models directly.

Notes: The kit is composed from unassembled resin and metal
photo-etched parts.
List price: € 20.00
Description: Factory ruin with steam boiler
This set contains unassembled plaster, resin and metal
photo-etched parts. And looks pretty amazing when constructed and painted up. The
dilapidated high pressure tank and the ruined walls will be a great challenge
for most all modellers who I think will love this kit.
Photo etched thin parts along with large resin bits make the
detail stand out only when you want it to and give you a great scale thickness.
With some skill used this set will look magnificent.
Description: German tankers loading ammo (2 fig.)
List price: € 24.00
These two tankers in resin are seen in a dynamic pose – one –
presumably the officer is seen yelling and pointing at something in the
distance whilst the loader is seen slamming a shell into the breach of his gun.
These two figures in resin are sold as a set and are wearing double sided
winter clothing and warm hats and gloves.

top of your M10
