Vodka Bottles with Crates (35577)
1:35 MiniArt via Creative Models
Fancy a snifter? This quirky little set contains enough vodka to sink a 1:35 battleship, along with the crates that make carrying multiple bottles a breeze. Arriving in a standard figure-sized box, it has a strangely weighty feel to it due to the density of the plastic inside. There are twenty four sprues in light sand styrene, and a further twelve in clear styrene, plus a decal sheet for bottle labels, and instructions on the back of the box.
Two of the sandy coloured sprues are used to make up a box, which has a set of dividers inside to hold the bottles stable. There are spaces for 20 bottles inside, and each clear sprue contains that exact number, but in two styles, so as it's more likely that you'll have one type per crate, use two half sprues per crate. The decal sheet contains six types of label for the bottles, with 42 of each type, so a few spare as long as you don't screw up too many. All you need to do is apply the decals and paint the bottle caps before you can install them in the crates. The crates will need painting, and using a dry brushing technique should bring out the moulded-in wood grain nicely, and if you have any decals spare, you could paste one to the side of the crates like in the photos.
Conclusion
Another great accessory set, and in total you have twelve crates of vodka for your various dioramas, backs of Russian trucks or for whatever other purpose you can think of. Just remember to drink responsibly. Cheers!
