Wooden Crates (35651) 1:35 MiniArt via Creative Models Ltd We’ve been using wooden boxes to carry things around for a long time, allowing us to move bulky or numerous items around in larger quantities than we’d otherwise be able to. They are commonly used for fruit, bottles and other food products, to name but a few applications. This set supplies different varieties of crate or box, some of which are divided up internally to prevent the goods from rolling around during transit and becoming damaged or bruised. The set arrives in a figure-sized box with a painting of the contents on the front, and instructions on the rear. There is also a painting with colour and decal call-outs in the centre of the rear, making suggestions to guide you if you need it. Inside the box are twelve sprues of grey styrene, plus a small sheet of decals by Cartograf to portray the stencils often found on the sides of crates and boxes. From the box you can build the following: 2 x rectangular box with hand-holds & slatted base 2 x rectangular box with hand-holes & dividers inside 2 x narrow rectangular box with hand-holes and dividers in the bottom 2 x shallow crate with handles, slatted base and internal dividers 8 x shallow crates with slatted bases and overhangs at the ends 2 x square box with slatted sides, base, hand-holds and internal dividers The main parts all have wood-grain texture moulded into them as appropriate, and construction is straight-forward, comprising just a few parts per crate or box, with plenty of detail moulded-in. Painting and weathering the individual parts of the set will be key to achieving realistic results, and here the box artwork can be of use, showing some of the crates as careworn from a lifetime of hard work. Used sensibly in a manner sympathetic to the subject matter, they should bring extra detail and realism to your next model or diorama. Highly recommended. Review sample courtesy of
