1:35 Dusty Bootprint Decals US & GER

Dusty Bootprint Decals US and GER, dusty boot prints (1:35, USCHI van der Rosten)

A decal sheet with prints of military soles in the dusty variant, not a kit. It adds realistic boot marks to a vehicle model, to the floor of a diorama or to the surface of a track, down to the detail of the hobnails and the tread of the sole. The sheet holds prints of the American as well as the German pattern of boot, which covers Allied and German scenes of the Second World War alike. The dusty version is intended for dry, dusty surroundings: desert campaigns, summer field tracks, dry crossings with no water. The prints are printed on a very thin carrier film which disappears once it is varnished over. The maker is the German brand USCHI van der Rosten.

Use

• Suitable for flat and slightly contoured surfaces: fenders, engine covers, cargo beds, diorama floors.
• Apply the print wet and bed it in with a decal softener, so that the film takes to the texture of the surface.
• Lay the marks out logically in the direction the soldiers moved, so that the scene comes across naturally.
• Take a matte varnish over it, which makes the film disappear and the print merge with the surface.
• The effect can be fine-tuned with a fine dust pigment around the edges of the marks.

Who it is for

For makers of dioramas and modelers of military hardware in 1:35 who want to add signs of human presence and a story to a dusty scene quickly.

This is a finishing accessory (a decal), not a model. Paints, varnish, decal softeners and pigments are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
