1:35 Industry arched windows No.: 10 - factory windows for a diorama

The set is among the accessories for building a diorama, not among the kits. It contains window elements with an arched head in 1:35 scale; according to the name there are three pieces in the package and this is version number 10 from the numbered range of industrial windows from RT-Diorama.

Why it pays to repeat windows

An industrial facade lives on rhythm. A factory hall from the end of the nineteenth century had its windows seated at a regular spacing, often across two stories, and it is precisely that regular sequence that makes a set piece believable. Three identical pieces in one set therefore make sense: out of them you build a continuous band that comes across as part of a larger building carrying on beyond the base. When you need a longer band, you add a second set of the same number, and when you want to break the facade up, you reach for another number of the range.

Tips for building a set piece

• Draw the spacing of the windows on the wall before you start cutting - the eye notices even a small irregularity.
• Leave the top edge of the wall damaged or cut off, so that the diorama does not come across as a model of a house without a roof.
• On a brick facade darker runs of water below the sills, dust in the lower third of the wall and soot above the window openings all fit.
• If you are not building an interior, black the windows out from behind with dark paper - an opening that lets light through gives a scene away at once.

Who the set is for

For builders of dioramas in 1:35 with scenes from a factory complex, a station or a warehouse, who build their structures themselves and are looking for finished window elements in the right scale. The numbered range makes it possible to put a whole object together out of various types of window step by step.
