Custom Dioramics Figures

Here is a much overlooked figure for your diorama or vignette. A simple donkey that was (and still is) used as a farm laborer carrying supplies, a pack animal carrying supplies in the hills and canyons, and used by the militaries across time to move weapons and supplies.

Construction couldn't be easier, assemble the two halves of the body, put the head on one end, the tail on the other. If the mule had a law degree, the head and tail should be interchangeable, but in this case, placement is obvious.

If you need to show more ass on your dioramas, this donkey is just what you need! You can purchase this and any of the Custom Dioramics Scale Model 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 this review sample!
