Hi Friends.
Can anyone from experience tell me what Masterbox figures are like?.
Cheers.
Ralph.

I have used them a few times,and like them,I like the scale size is more true,
than a Dragon,they do have good detail as well,and most times a nice fit,
-
I've used the RAF and Luftwaffe 1/32 sets and found them good. That is despite my inability to paint figures convincingly
Luftwaffe:
RAF (apart from the pilot in the Spitfire):
Cheers

One word...superb. Not complicated like Dragon, and knock these, or any other 1/35 figures into a cocked hat any day!Comment

I've used a few of their figure sets Ralph & they're very nice. Good detail, nice facial expressions & easy to put together.
I'd disagree with Ron somewhat though, as the Dragon Gen 2 figures are the best I've ever seen... and that includes resin ones costing much more! Fiddly to build though, but that's the price you pay for the extra details.Comment

Hi Ralph
I've used many MB figures and I'd say they are good. The detail is up with most other manufacturers (I'd say Dragon Gen 2 are probably the best in Plastic) but what sets MB apart is their more unusual poses and very natural gestures. I used 2 MB sets as the basis for aa Kursk diorama I did some time back. If you're interested here's the link:
Please note that I did modify the figures but they are excellent straight from the box.
Hope this helps
Regards

I agree, most of those I have seen are very good and reasonable cost too.Comment

Was that really back in 2011???? I have never forgotten this diorama. It is the best burnt out T34 I have ever come across and a great example how to use fur as long grass.Originally posted by \Hi Ralph

Thank you so much everyone.
I have an idea for a diorama and there are a few masterbox figures that would suit it perfectly.Comment

It won't be a factual diorama but loosely based on fact.Originally posted by \do tell
The idea I have is to have defeated and lightly injured German's going to a first aid post and to get some food.
The figures I have chosen are below.And maybe I will use the Verlinden townhall or maybe scratch my own building or buildings.

Sounds like a plan to me. Have you already got these?Comment

Hi Ralph I'm prob late here replying to this one but work been a pain of Kate and I'm not getting as much time as I would like
Anyway I have purchased many of Masrerbox figs and I definatly think they are a class of there own when it comes to finer detail ( expressions, weopnry, accuracy to original uniforms and colour ref.
With an upcoming dio " out of gas out of time " I have used the German POWs you have listed no and they are brilliantly sculptured, really look worn out and tired etc ( I hope I can paint them as good as they look. ( time will tell )
Kind regards
