Carpets, the fourth part is a printed paper accessory for a diorama with carpet motifs for several scales. It is not a kit and not a waterslide decal, but a sheet meant to be cut out and glued into the interior of a scene.
Responsibility details are not available.
This printed sheet from the manufacturer ETA diorama extends the range of paper carpets for building interior scenes. The name states 1:16, 1:24 and 1:35 scale, so the sheet is not tied to a single one of them — the modeler checks the usability of a given pattern by laying it against the figure or the furniture he wants to combine it with. The sheet is therefore not tied to a single fixed scale.
A carpet in a scene does more than fill the floor. Its shape and angle lead the viewer's eye to the main element, separate parts of a room and balance an otherwise muted interior in color. A patterned carpet is at the same time a strong touch of color, so it pays to choose one that does not drown out the figures. For a smaller scene a more muted rendering rather, for a formal interior a bolder one.
Glue with a thin continuous layer of PVA glue, applied to the base rather than to the paper. For the impression of a loosely laid textile, leave one corner unglued and lift it slightly, or crumple the paper in your hand before gluing and smooth it out again — the fine texture that results resembles the waving of fabric. At the transition to a wall, let the carpet end a little short of it, so that the floor shows; a perfect fit looks artificial.
Uneven wear adds believability. Darken the most walked-over places with a muted wash or, on the contrary, mute them with dry pastel, dust the edges with pigment and suggest a deposit of dust in the corners. Avoid a continuous layer of dirt over the whole area — the contrast between a well-preserved middle and scuffed edges is more convincing. Matte clear coat at the end unifies and protects the surface.
It is a printed paper accessory for a diorama. Glue, paints and other material are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
