A loaf of cheese in 1:35 scale

This is a stand-alone object of a scene, not a kit. A large round loaf of cheese is one of those props that have an unexpectedly large effect in a scene: it sets the setting at once, gives a scene a civilian dimension and offers a color that stands out pleasantly from gray machinery and green terrain.

The same subject in three scales

The accessory also comes out in 1:48 and 1:72 scale. The scale is the distinguishing detail — choose it according to the figures and vehicles in your scene.

What it is suited to

You will use the loaf at a market, in a country house, in a cellar or a larder, on the bed of a supply vehicle and in a scene with a field kitchen. It combines well with boxes, barrels, furniture and other household equipment from the same diorama line.

Installation and painting tips

Separate the part from the casting residue with a sharp scalpel, level the mating surface by sanding and degrease the surface before painting. Choose the glue according to the material — cyanoacrylate for small resin parts, thin cement for plastic on plastic. In color, rely on warm shades of ivory and light ocher for the inside and a noticeably darker, brownish rind around the circumference; blend the transition softly. A matte surface is essential — a sheen would turn food into a plastic disc. If you cut the loaf open, add a lighter tone in the cut, so that the difference between the rind and the body is visible.

Who the accessory is for

• builders of dioramas with civilian and rural scenes in 1:35
• modelers who build markets, larders and supply scenes
• anyone interested in small props from which the equipment of a scene is put together
• modelers used to fine color transitions on a small area

The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
