The 135th Construction Battalion is a relatively new line from VLS that focuses on detailed resin parts for buildings and/or building faces that would serve as a backdrop in a European diorama. Here are three new releases that underscore the mission of the 135th.

1/35 Rectangular Granite Window & Door Facings

CO0008

MSRP $10.95 USD

This set includes two granite window facings (exterior frames) and a granite doorway facing. While the photos don't do these justice, the resin parts have texture to them to represent the age of the granite cuttings.

1/35 Interlocking Fieldstone Cornerstone Set

CO0009

MSRP $10.95 USD

This set provides a pair of fieldstone cornerstone sets that appear on many period European buildings. With these and the window frames above, you could easily scratchbuild the front of a typical European building to serve as the backdrop for your diorama or vignette.

1/35 Interlocking Granite Cornerstone Set

CO0010

MSRP $10.95 USD

This set provides a pair of granite cornerstone sets that appear on many period European buildings. These are identical in function to the set above, but represent a granite stone instead.

You can purchase these and any of the 135th Construction Battalion line from your local hobby retailer or directly from VLS' website at www.modelmecca.com. They have some of the fastest mail order delivery in this industry - give them a try!

My sincere thanks to VLS for these review samples!
