Reality in scale never seize to amaze me, the first item is a bus stop, kit number 35050, but not your average bus shelter. This is a complete package, comprising of a cleanly cast resin bus shelter, a resin signpost for the ‘real enamel’ bus/ tram signs, a sheet of clear acetate, pre-marked for the windows of the shelter, timetables and maps, ‘real enamel’ newspaper advertising signs for four countries as well as a sheet of advertisements/ propaganda posters, again for four countries! Now that is what I call value for money. The shelter builds up from just five resin parts, with a nice wood structure that will look great once painted. The roof is covered with slates, which looked a bit heavy to my liking, but a bit of sanding will take care of that.

Another novel idea is set 35047, ‘wall carpets on real cloth’. This is a sheet of ‘furry paper’, much like flock material, on which they have printed some beautiful wall carpet designs. These are very nice to use as war booty in a diorama, as they where highly prized, or maybe as a backdrop for figures of any period. The sheet contains 14 carpets, in various sizes, and will come in handy on a 1/48 diorama too.

Up last is a sheet of ‘real enamel’ advertising signs, 35009. On this sheet are 46 colourful advertising signs to dress up your diorama. These ore not just printed on glossy paper, but each sign has its own layer of ‘enamel’, making them look like the real thing, very nifty stuff!
