Master Box Shots Fired, The Heist Series

Short Feature Article with Steve Noble

“Shots Fired!”

There has been a resurgence in 1:24 scale figures with the release of imaginative figure kits by companies such as Masterbox and ICM. Masterbox has taken a novel approach in presenting a narrative (described on the box art) for each figure in the kit. In doing so this helps to build a storyline around the figures. While they can be used as stand-alone, figures from additional kits can be combined to tell a wider story.

As an example of this, two kits form the Masterbox range have been used together. Intended to be used in representing of a bank robbery, the full set, “The Heist” consists of a set of three kits:

  • Set 1 – police team responding to an incident
  • Set 2 – bank robbers attempting to escape with the loot
  • Set 3 – wounded female civilian.

The following scene combined Sets 1 and 3.

The box art from the two kits is shown below…

To help describe the build of the figures in more detail, the female officer from Set 1 was used. As the box art shows, the kit consists of a female officer armed with an M4 carbine responding to an incident with her partner firing an M9 pistol.

Send Us Your Images

If you have some pictures or two of your best, favourite or most recently completed scale models, then this is your opportunity to celebrate your work and show them to a worldwide audience...

Just a few pointers to help you though:

  1. Images need to be digital and sent via e-mail or you can Drop Box them to me at: geoff.coughlin@btinternet.com
  2. Images should be sent in a ‘medium’ size, JPEG format. If you are using Microsoft Windows, simply right-click on the image in ‘My Pictures’ or wherever it is stored and you should be prompted with the option to ‘send to’ and select ‘mail-recipient. A box opens asking what size you want to send the image. ‘Medium’ is fine (approx: 1024 X 768)
  3. I might not publish your pics if the image quality isn’t there or for any other given reason
  4. Please also include a few words with your pics to explain a little about: what your model is; kit; scale; any extras added; painting, weathering and finishing your model – maybe around 100-200 words will be fine. Thanks Geoff

So... please do send in your images. Contact-us now
