1:24 60~70’s Accessory Set F - scaled briquet, briquette tongs, and briquette delivery tongs

Diorama accessories 1:24, set F with briquettes and tongs

Right at the start, so that there is no mistake: this is neither a car kit nor parts for one, but a set of small accessories for a diorama in 1:24 scale. The set, from a line of period accessories of the 1960s and 1970s, contains according to its name heating briquettes in scaled-down form, tongs for gripping them and tongs for carrying them. The number of pieces and the material of the parts are given by the contents printed on the packaging.

What the set is for

• Filling out a scene by a house, a workshop, a garage or a street stall
• A narrative detail that gives the scene a period atmosphere
• Filling empty areas of a base in 1:24 scale
• Combining with figures and with a vehicle model of the same scale

Tips for working it into a scene

Clean the small parts first and let them dry, and only then paint them. Match the choice of glue to the material: use cement for plastic on plastic and super glue on resin and metal. Briquettes look best when you break up the dark base shade with a dry brush so that the edges of the holes stand out, and add a dust pigment. Pick out the tongs with a metallic sheen on the gripping faces and light rust at the joint. Do not lay the objects into the scene too regularly; a little untidiness looks more believable than a neat row.

Who the set is for

For builders of dioramas and vignettes in 1:24 scale who want to create a believable setting around a vehicle or figures, and for modelers who enjoy working with small detail.

This is not a vehicle model. The set contains accessories for a scene and is supplied unpainted.
