In amongst the photos from Nuremberg hosted on www.primeportal.net is a couple from the Masterbox stand showing some of their Western European civilians which are due out sooon to compliment the recently released Eastern European Civilians set. An interesting feature on their stand though is two of these figures posed beside a new style wagon which differs from the previous more simplified hay wagon the Masterbox has used in several of their kits, though it appears to have the same front end ( image above ). Whether this wagon will come with the civilian set, or is intended as a seperate kit I don’t know. It may even be intended for use with the soon to be released “France, 1944″ set ( see image below from last year’s WIP news report ). Whatever the case it’s a nice looking wagon and a welcome addition.
It was also intersting to see some of the new civilian figures and animals in a finished state as these are all particularly useful new offerings. I especially like the cows and the little hand drawn haywagon.
