1:35 A cow with a calf

What the set contains

A pair of farm animals for a diorama in 1:35 scale: a cow and a calf. The material of the parts, their number and the way they are assembled are given on the packaging and in the manufacturer's instructions; please go by those.

Why animals suit a diorama

A farm animal does on a scene what a vehicle alone cannot: it sets the scene in a particular place. A column driving through a village, a farmyard, a field beyond the village or a pasture by the road gain from an animal both scale and a calm that contrasts with the hardware. A cow with a calf, moreover, holds the viewer's gaze together, because the two animals naturally belong with one another and the viewer infers a relationship between them.

Building and painting tips

Choose the glue according to the material of the parts: solvent cement for plastic models belongs on polystyrene, cyanoacrylate on resin and on metal. Wash and degrease the parts before painting. The coat is managed with a simple procedure: a base shade, a darker tone rubbed into the folds and recesses and finally a dry brush with a lighter shade along the back and the edges. Choose the coloring according to the breed that suits the scene you intend. Suggest the eye with a thin dark line, leave the hooves and the muzzle darker and slightly glossy, and the animal then does not look like a toy.

Who it is for

For builders of dioramas in 1:35 scale who build rural scenes, and for everyone who wants to add life to a scene without another figure of a soldier.
