Title: Quickbuild Review: Masterbox 1/35 German Captives

Last weekend I purchased a couple of Masterbox figure set from HHQ. I did a quickbuild on one of the figure set. Shown here are 5 figures of the 1944 German Captives set (kit number 3517) without the Russian captor. This kit include parts for total of 6 figures.

The kit came with 1 piece runner which were divided into 6 sections. Each section provide parts for 1 figure. I'm sorry I don't have the runner and pre-assembly photos since they're 'magically' disappeared when I transfer them from camera to PC <_< .

Assembly is pretty much straight forward. Some parts have minimal fleshing which was easily cleaned with my Olfa knife. Fittings are quite OK to me. Some joins require a bit of heavy putty work. Details are a bit on the soft side which is still acceptable.

Seen on the individual figure photos shows that each figure has it's own story. One figure suffered from minor head injury and another one wears a sling on his right shoulder.

Anybody who would like to chime in thoughts and comments, please feel free to do so. :)

Thanks for the quick in-box review Harman. If you don't mind I will stick this in the Figure review section of the Figure forum here so it will not get pushed down or lost.

I bought the same set as well for dio purposes and as Harman says its a decent set all round and good value for money buy. I was quite suprised with the level of detail on faces especially with variations and facial expressions. If you look at Harman's 3 rd. pic the folds of the opened feldbluse is very well done because MB actually amazingly had both folds as separate pieces. Pretty impressive for styrene, Gen 2 from DML nothwithstanding.

Very nice set of figures. Thanks for taking the time to review it for us.

The posture & expression of these guys also looks like a bunch of disgruntled US/European coal miners or factory workers walking to the unemployment office after being laid-off their jobs.
