Diopark

Not "Diopack" as Hannants have it...

These are a new range on injection-moulded diorama accessories from China. Bit pricy, but probably easier to use than the more usual resin stuff.

Quite comprehensive listing and I'm sure easier than resin.  Does seem a bit steep price wise, however.

Thanks for sharing.

They're moving into vehicles now, with this item that's sure to gladden the heart of any modelling biker    Note that it's in 1/35th scale instead of the more usual vehicle scales, so it's perfect for dioramas: Taliban scout vehicle? Libyan rebel resupply vehicle carrying more 57mm rockets for Meng's pickup?



MORE PICS

Only seems to be available thorugh Lucky Model at the moment: http://www.luckyhobbies.com/scale.aspx?item_no=DIO-35007  Dare say the big H will get it shortly though.

That's a Honda Super Cub (C90 in the UK) if anyone's wondering, and before deriding it's weedy smallness, consider that it's the most successful motorcycle ever built, with over 60 million having been made: some countries basically run on Super Cubs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Super_Cub

Cool, I could use a couple of those!

Seriously!

Also, I'm glad to see manufacturers beginning to build more civilian stuff in 1:35 - the One True Armour & Vehicle Scale.
It's about time they came to their senses & realised the scale of this market.

Finally, we can do a proper street scene for a modern Asian diorama!

Have a look at the table on the boxart. Someone's building a little KV-2 (I think).

my dad drove one of them for years, utterly reliable, and goodenough to do a 10-15 mile each way commute on, id only need a red double seat one but, if the costs resonable that may be a getter

They look great and just the job for modern dioramas as you say.

Better than that: the KV-2 is included in the set (as a cardboard cutout on the box)!

Some examples of the C90s built up with much praise for the kit from a guy who has very high standards:

Mind = blown!

Hannants have more of the diopark stuff in, and if you wanted to do an Asian street scene, prepare to be happier but poorer:
