Cheese Products (35656) 1:35 MiniArt via Creative Models Ltd Cheese. It’s based on stale milk, with some extra steps of course as otherwise we’d all be making it! There are so many varieties of cheese on the market these days that your head would spin if you were asked to count them all. During the early 20th century in Europe there were a number of prominent cheese varieties, many of which were produced in discs that are referred to as wheels, cutting a wedge out as you need it, or as it is sold to a customer from a cheese purveyor. The Set The sprues from this set of diorama accessories have been seen before in the figure set from MiniArt by the name of “Cheese Sellers”, which we reviewed here at the end of last year. Now, if you need more cheese (and who doesn’t?), or don’t particularly want or need the figures, you’ve got your wish. The large cheeses are found on two sprues, plus another three with smaller cheeses and some meat, some of the cheeses of the holey variety. There are also three sprues of trays, each containing parts for three of them, the planked bases having the longer sides moulded-in, adding separate ends with handles cut-out of the centre. Markings You are at liberty to paint the trays any colour you like, but the cheeses are usually somewhere between yellow and orange, with a few exceptions such as Edam with its waxy red covering, and Brie that is covered in a white waxy ‘crust’. The decal sheet that is included with the set is printed with a host of labels for your painted cheeses, three of them larger, the rest in medium and small sizes, which should be enough to finish the cheeses included in the box, especially if you apply decals just to the top cheese of any stacks you make. Decals are by Cartograf, which is a guarantee of good registration, sharpness and colour density, with a thin matt carrier film cut close to the printed areas. Conclusion 1:35 cheeses. They could be described as a niche product, but if you want or need some, these are perfect for your requirements, and I’ve managed to complete the review without any cheese-related puns. Can’t be bad, but it won’t last in the comments. Highly recommended. Review sample courtesy of
