1:24 Marshal Jessie

Master Box 1:24 Marshal Jessie - figure

An injection-molded plastic figure in 1:24 scale from Master Box. It portrays a female figure of a marshal with a gun and gear in the spirit of the American Wild West. It is not a vehicle model or a diorama set - it is a single figure to be assembled and painted, which fills out a scene or stands on its own as a display piece. 1:24 is also the classic scale of car models, so the figure sits well in size next to cars and trucks.

The real subject

The figure belongs to the family of single characters that Master Box releases in 1:24 scale alongside its main military range. These lines are not tied to a particular historical person or unit: they are genre characters - from pin-up motifs and fantasy to truck drivers and the western - whose main strength is a clear pose of the body and a readable expression. That is why they are popular both for bringing dioramas to life and as practice in painting flesh tones.

Building and painting tips

• Level the mold parting lines on the arms and legs with a sanding sponge before you glue the figure together - once it is glued they are hard to reach.
• Fill and sand the seam at the shoulder or the waist after gluing; on a painted figure it shows immediately.
• Prime the whole figure first, ideally with a light base under the flesh and a dark one under the gear.
• Build up the flesh in thin coats, gradually lightening the raised areas; a single covering coat looks flat.
• Leave the eyes and the small fittings for last, with a fine brush and your hand supported.

Who the figure is for

• For modelers who want to practice painting flesh and fabric at a larger scale.
• For diorama builders and owners of car models in 1:24.
• For collectors of genre figures outside military subjects.

The figure is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
