About product

1:35 Old West Maps – a printed sheet of maps for a diorama (ETA diorama)

The sheet is a printed paper accessory for dioramas in 1:35 scale. It is not a kit and not a waterslide decal; the motifs of maps from the setting of the American Wild West are cut out of the sheet and used as separate paper elements of a scene.

Where a map belongs in a scene

A map is a rewarding element, because it tells a story by itself. It comes into its own spread out on a table in a cabin or a station, pinned to the wall of an office, carelessly thrown onto a crate, rolled up in a figure's hand or draped over the side of a wagon. Precisely because it is paper and not a decal, you can work with it three-dimensionally.

Bending, waving and believability of scale

The key is the edge. Fold a map over a blunt object, not with a sharp fingernail, so that the bend looks soft and not like a break in card. If you want to roll a map up, dampen the paper lightly from the back, wind it around a wire or a drill bit and let it finish drying. When laying it on a tabletop, glue it only in spots at the corners, so that the middle can bulge slightly and does not come across as printing on the table. In 1:35 scale the thickness of ordinary paper is perceptible at the edge, so it pays to sand the edge lightly after cutting with a high-grit abrasive or to darken it with a pencil.

Gluing and patina

Use PVA or matte glue in a thin layer. You achieve aging by toning the edges and the creases, where the paper would be rubbed the most, and with a very fine wash into the bends. A final matte clear coat rids the printing of residual sheen and unifies it with the surrounding scene.

Who the sheet is for

  • Builders of western dioramas and vignettes in 1:35 scale
  • Modelers who want to add a storytelling detail to a scene
  • Authors of interior scenes with tables, crates and furniture

It is a printed paper accessory. Glue, paints, clear coats and figures are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Yes. Dampen the paper lightly from the back, wind it around a wire or a drill bit and let it finish drying; it will hold the shape.

Gluing in spots at the corners lets the middle bulge slightly, so the map looks like a sheet laid down and not like printing on a tabletop.

Sand the edge lightly after cutting with a fine abrasive or darken it with a pencil; the edge then does not jump out at this scale.
