1:35 Floor - light wood

Floor in light wood 1:35

A sheet with a plank floor pattern worked into it in a light form, in 1:35 scale. Light wood matches a newer, untreated or scrubbed floor, or planks that have only just begun to be walked on. It is used in the interiors of buildings in dioramas, on the beds of wagons and everywhere it should be clear that the floor is made of planks and not of a smooth sheet. It is an accessory for a scene, not a kit.

Use

• floors in the interiors of buildings in dioramas
• attics, barns and farm buildings
• the floors of flatbeds and the beds of farm wagons
• a base under figures in an indoor scene

Building and painting tips

Wash the sheet in lukewarm soapy water and let it dry. Trim it to the shape you need, level the edges and sand with respiratory protection. It is glued with cyanoacrylate or with two-part glue. Lay down a primer before painting. With light wood the key is not to overdo the contrast: keep the base tone light, tell the individual planks apart only discreetly and pick the joints out with a weak seeping coat. Too dark a coat in the joints will turn a light floor into an old one, and you will lose exactly what you chose it for.

Who the set is for

• builders of dioramas with interiors
• modelers who build ruined buildings with the floor visible
• railroad modelers working in larger scales
• anyone who does not want to scribe planks by hand

The set is supplied unpainted and it is an accessory, not a kit. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
