Masterbox presents us with three scenes from the old, wild west this month. These figures can be either used separately or interwoven into a scene together, or with Master Box' other Old west sets. See what they are all about in our preview...
Three new figure sets from the old west from Master Box in November/ December 2019
Master Box company continues the work with the series of kits dedicated to the history of the Wild West in the USA in 1/35 scale and presents the series consisting of 3 new kits:

"Marshal Tom Tucker, Molly and Rebecca Hanson”
“Outlaw Gunslinger series. Kit No. 1"
Kit No #35203
1/35th scale.
Three figures & a horse in one kit.
Release Date: November / December 2019
The scene presented by Master Box goes something like this... Once, early in the morning Molly, a young lass who was walking discovered a wounded officer of the law near the ranch and called to her mother Rebecca for help. Young ladies help the wounded man, but what brought him to these lands? Whom is he trying to bring to justice and who has wounded him? Are they the two men shown in kits 35204 and 35205 in this series? What led them to these lands? And how are they all interconnected?
The kit includes the figures of the wounded Marshal (Tom Tucker), a horse, a young woman (Rebecca Hanson) and a little girl (Molly Hanson). The figure of the horse has interchangeable elements that allow giving different poses to the horse and, accordingly, different emotions. The figures represent very elegant and highly artistic miniature sculptures that will satisfy even the highest of standards from most sculptors out there.
Molly and her mother Rebecca
As expected from a full work of art, these mini-sculptures represent an excellently balanced composition filled with a powerful expression and interact perfectly with each other, as well as with the figures from kits 35204 and 35205. And, of course, as always, the modeller can create at own discretion a diorama both by using all the figures from this whole series and by using a separate kit of 35203, and can even create a very expressive vignette by using any figure from the kit at own discretion.
The injured lawman and his steed
"Gentleman Jim Jameson - Hired Gun"
"Outlow. Gunslinger series. Kit No. 2.
Kit No #35204
1/35th scale
One figure plus a horse in plastic
Release Date: November / December
The figure of Gentleman Jim Jameson - Hired Gun, a hired killer is incredibly expressive. Someone will see in it a single-minded killer looking for a trace, someone - an extremely dangerous adventurer looking intently into the eyes of the victim, and someone - a dangerous resident of the Wild West trying to look friendly. The figure is perfect for creating an extremely expressive vignette, as well as for a large and very interesting diorama in the plot by using either all or selectively figures from Master Box' kits 35203, 35204 and 35205.
The kit includes the figures of a rider and a horse with full equipment matching exactly the equipment of that time. The figure of the horse has interchangeable elements that allow giving different poses to the horse and, accordingly, different emotions.
"Pedro Melgoza - Bounty Hunter"
"Outlaw. Gunslinger series. Kit No. 3."
1/35th scale.
Kit No #35205
One figure & a horse in plastic
Release Date: November
In those harsh and mercilessly cruel times of the old west, the line between the outlaw and the officer of the law was incredibly thin. The history of the Wild West knows about the cases when yesterday’s outlaw became an uncompromising defender of the Law, and vice versa. Besides, the methods of dealing with the violators of the law were very simple and cruel, and the court and reprisals were quick and merciless. One of the methods of fighting the crime was the phenomenon of Bounty Hunters, when the Law declared an award for the capture of the outlaw. Many desperate thugs considered hunting for a criminal as an opportunity to earn money and they went in a dangerous pursuit. One of such Bounty Hunters is shown in the kit.
Despite the static pose the figure is very expressive and fits perfectly both for creating an independent vignette “from a box” and for creating a large and very interesting in the plot diorama by using either all or selectively figures from kits #35203, #35204 and #35205.
The kit includes the figures of a rider and a horse with full equipment matching exactly the equipment of that time. The figure of the horse has interchangeable elements that allow giving different poses to the horse and, accordingly, different emotions.
