Aoshima 1:700 Paper structure — a large factory building

A paper accessory kit for dioramas and scenery in 1:700 scale from the Japanese manufacturer Aoshima. It is not a ship model and not a vehicle, but a large factory building that serves as a backdrop for a harbor or coastal scene with ship models of the Waterline range and other elements.

Use

The accessory creates the background and the built-up area of a harbor or an industrial quarter. The paper parts are cut or broken out and put together into a three-dimensional building; the scene can be completed with piers, cranes, a water surface and ships in the same scale. The result gives a display case context and a sense of scale.

Building tips

Glue the paper parts with a glue suited to paper and take care over precise edges and right angles. The surface can be taken down to matte or lightly brought out with pastel or pigment for a realistic look of masonry. Protect the model from damp.

Who the accessory is for

• Builders of harbor and coastal dioramas in 1:700
• Collectors of Waterline range ships looking for a backdrop
• Modelers who want to give their ships a setting and a sense of scale
• Anyone interested in paper modeling

This is a scenic accessory, not a ship model. Paints, glue and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
