1:35 Movie Posters E - 2000s

Movie posters from the years after 2000 in 1:35 scale

Movie Posters E is a part of the line of Matho Models diorama posters focused on the first decade after 2000. It is not a kit but a printed accessory for an environment in 1:35 scale. In a scene it fills a single but important role: it fixes the period in which the subject is to be set.

What the part does in a scene

A modern diorama is recognized by small things, and a poster is the most readable of them. While a vehicle or a uniform covers a wide span of time, a poster on a wall narrows the period down to a few years. The set suits advertising columns and billboards, facades and construction hoardings, the entrances of cinemas and shopping arcades, but also the interiors of rooms and clubs where posters hang loose on a wall. In gray urban housing it also adds color and breaks up large empty areas of brickwork.

How it is fitted

Cut the motifs out with a scalpel along the outline and on hoarding billposting leave a narrow margin. Apply the glue in a thin layer; PVA glue is ideal because it does not crumple the paper and gives you a moment to work with it. On a large billboard do not stick the motifs down in alignment but slightly turned and partly overlapping, the way gradual billposting builds up. Tear the edges slightly, leave the corners standing proud and age the posters with a weak wash or pigment. Before the final matting, wait until the glue has dried completely, otherwise light patches will stay under the surface.

Who the set is for

• Builders of present-day urban 1:35 dioramas.
• Modelers who want to date a scene unambiguously.
• Creators of interiors, cinemas, shop windows and street billposting.
• Those adding to scenes with civilian figures.

This is a diorama accessory, not a kit. The base, glue, paints and figures are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
