KX018-OO Ultra-Low Relief Industrial Unit Gets A Makeover

ScaleModelScenery · February 10, 2023

Evening all.

This ultra-low relief industrial unit kit has been in our range for a number of years now but we'd never converted over to laser cut base layers and the textures were in need of a little upgrade to bring it up to our current standards.

So we set about completely redesigning the kit this week...

While we were happy with the overall appearance, it's based on a real building somewhere near Lee Circle car park in Leicester, we stripped the whole kit right back. Swapping layered card from solid MDF cores makes it far quicker to build and gives a much crisper finish to the corners and edges. There's not need to layer up the main wall or overlays now as they're made from 4mm & 2mm MDF.

The brick, stone and cladding textures have been complete reworked from the ground up using our latest techniques for generating photorealistic brickwork from scratch. The new techniques make it much easier to kit-bash our buildings and the brick & stone textures. As with the previous version, all the components are preweathered, giving you a realistically better finish straight from the packet.

The fire exit door has been completely reworked, with new wraps and a choice of several different colours, each with damage & dirt effects. A laser-cut frame is then overlayed to give the door depth and added realism over the original, flat, printed verion.

A choice of 5 assorted company signs is also included along with upgraded CCTV cameras and reworked air conditioning units. Both of which will be available as separate kits shortly if anyone needs them.

The kit is super simple to build and is a great one for anyone taking their first steps into kit building. But there's plenty of detail to keep the seasoned modeller happy... Once installed up against the backscene of your layout it'll look just like the real thing! And needing just 6mm of depth it'll fit in even the tightest of spaces.
