  1. Wooden Pallets (35627) 1:35 MiniArt via Creative Models Ltd You may have seen our review of the recent Hand Pallet Truck Set, well now we bring you the subset of that set, which like Sand People are back but in larger numbers, as Obi Wan predicted. This set arrives in a shrink-wrapped figure box with a painting on the front and brief instructions on the rear, and contains twelve sprues of pallets, with one pallet per sprue, plus a small decal sheet for the stamps found on the sides of the pallets. The construction is simple, but clever. The top surface is moulded as a single part, while the lower section is moulded as three parts joined together with three spacer bars that are cut off after the two sections are joined together. Each rod narrows at the end so that clean-up will be minimal, although you have to be careful with them as the joins are necessarily quite weak. Holding one plank while gluing them one at a time over the little guide markings on the upper part seems to work, leaving clean-up of the sprue gates and spacers until after the glue has set. The wood grain moulded into the parts is typical of the rough but tough wood used to make pallets, and the small decals for the ends can represent the heat branding easily thanks to their small size. For the pallet nerds amongst us here, the pallets scale out to 800mm x 1200mm, which is the equivalent to EUR1 in the Euro Pallet table, and ISO1 in the ISO pallet table. Isn’t that nice? The decals are correct for the type, and they are shown in the correct places too, which shows some serious attention to detail that must have been acquired with the aid of copious cups of coffee to avoid nodding off! Whether the nail holes are moulded in the correct manner, and if there are 75 of them is for you to research, as I’ve had enough and need a snooze. Conclusion A dozen pallets for your post WWII diorama. Not very exciting, but necessary if you’re depicting any kind of storage, shipping or factory type sceen. Highly recommended.

  2. Just read this about Hanjin of South Korea filing for receivership, with the obvious worldwide effect. "Hanjin Shipping elected to file for court receivership on Tuesday, the first step towards what will be the largest container line bankruptcy in history – six times larger than the collapse of United States Lines three decades ago, the previous record holder. Hanjin operates 98 container ships totalling 600,000 TEU, 11 port terminals and 74 sea routes, in addition to bulker operations." Much of their fleet is currently at sea (some have now anchored where they are, others have been seized), probably stacked full of exports bound for western countries, but are being refused entry into their destination ports, due to "concerns that the firm cannot pay port and stevedoring costs." South Korea exports Electronic equipment: Samsung TV's and smartphones; LG TV's, plus Vehicles: Hyundai cars and car batteries etc. and there will be a massive amount of this not reaching their destinations or buyers South Korea manufactures kits as well; Academy, Model Masters, KA-Models, DEF models and Wolfpack decals are just some of the model manufacturers out there. I bet there are quite a few in those containers and giving the importers/distributors a cause for concern with their orders! Add to this, Hanjin routes to China and Japan and picks up stuff there so the impact could be even wider. Further update: Nine of Hanjin's ships are British flagged (list below), registered in Douglas, Isle of Man; therefore this means that they will have British officers crewing so another impact on those poor blighters. Mike British registered Hanjin ships: Hanjin Sooho Hanjin Asia Hanjin Blue Ocean Hanjin Europe Hanjin Harmony Hanjin Green Earth Hanjin America Hanjin Gold Hanjin Africa
