1:35 Church Courtyard [Diorama Base]

Church Courtyard 1:35 (RT-Diorama)

A diorama base (a building set) capturing a courtyard with a church structure in 1:35 scale from RT-Diorama. It is not a model of a vehicle and not a figure but an effective set piece for your scene. The set combines finely cast plaster parts from a new mold, a laser-cut roof truss and shingles and precise 3D-printed accessories. The parts use a modular system and faithfully imitate the weathered architecture of Western Europe in the period of the Second World War.

What the base is for

The base forms the foundation of a diorama — you place a tank, a vehicle or figures in the chosen scale on it and so create a believable story. The broken masonry, the paving and the architectural features give the scene depth and scale. Its dimensions are on the larger side, so count on enough room in a display case.

Building and painting tips

Glue the plaster parts with PVA glue or super glue and fill the seams with putty or a plaster slurry. Apply a sealer or a primer before painting, so that the absorbent plaster does not take the paint unevenly. An airbrush works well for the base tones, followed by washes and pigments to bring out the texture of the masonry and the settled dirt. Glue the laser-cut and 3D parts with super glue.

Who the set is for

• Builders of dioramas and scenic display cases in 1:35 scale
• Modelers who want to set their vehicle or figure into a setting
• Fans of European architecture and urban fighting
• More advanced modelers interested in working with plaster and textures

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