About product

A United States Army camp tent 1:72 - Metallic Details

A diorama accessory in 1:72 scale representing an American army camp tent. It is not a model of an aircraft or a vehicle but a scenic element with which the space around the main model is filled - a field post, a camp by an airfield or the support area of a unit. The manufacturer is Metallic Details, a brand known above all for detail accessories.

What the element does in a scene

A tent gives a diorama scale and context. A large smooth object beside a vehicle works as a quiet area where the eye can rest, and at the same time it allows a story to be told: an entrance where something is happening, an open flap, or on the contrary a closed tent in the rain. In 1:72 scale a tent is roughly at the limit where it still deserves the texture of canvas but must not be overloaded with detail - otherwise it will overpower the main model.

Usage and painting tips

First wash the casting in warm soapy water and get rid of any release agent residue, otherwise the paint will not hold. Cut the casting remains off and level the lower edge so that the tent sits against the terrain with no gap - fill any gap with modeling paste and disguise it with gravel or grass. Paint over a primer; canvas looks convincing if you lighten the base shade at the top and darken it in the shadows under the folds. Do the dusting with pigments from the bottom up, because dirt rises from the ground. Consider a slight sag too, and the difference between taut and slack areas - irregularity is what makes a scene alive.

Who the accessory is for

  • For builders of dioramas in 1:72 scale who are building a field support area.
  • For aircraft modelers who want to set a model into a scene by an airfield.
  • For anyone interested in military vehicles and figures in the same scale.
  • For anyone looking for a scenic element with a rewarding surface for weathering.

A diorama accessory; it is not a kit of an aircraft or a vehicle. A base, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

Not in the usual sense. It is a diorama accessory, that is a scenic element for a scene, not a model of an aircraft or a vehicle.

The material is given on the manufacturer's packaging. With accessories of this range it is usually a casting, which is washed and sprayed with primer before painting.

Yes, provided you are building in 1:72 scale. A scenic element is not tied to a particular kit.

Lighten the base shade at the high points and darken it in the shadows under the folds, then add dust with pigments from the bottom up.
