About product

A niche with a statue of a saint, a 1:35 scene

A masonry niche with the statue of a saint, rendered in 1:35 scale by Black Dog. A sacred detail of the kind that belongs to European buildings and works unexpectedly strongly in a modeling scene.

A detail that gives a scene a place

A niche in a wall says more about a landscape than another meter of road. From it the viewer recognizes that the display is taking place in a particular setting, not just anywhere. It is also a vertical item, so it combines excellently with low models and with kneeling or standing figures.

Painting the stone and the statue

Set the statue apart from the surrounding masonry with a lighter and smoother treatment; it comes out best when it has finer transitions against the rough wall. Weathered stone can be managed with a dark wash into the recesses and careful lightening of the edges. A deposit of dirt in the recesses and a greenish tone at the foot suggest that the item has stood in that place for a long time.

The historical setting

Masonry niches with statues belong to old European buildings; they stood by roads, on the corners of houses and in the walls of farm buildings. They therefore bring a geographical and a historical frame into a display without your having to explain anything. For scenes set outside Europe the motif is not suitable.

Who it is for

  • for European city and village displays
  • for modelers who enjoy small storytelling details
  • for small vignettes with one figure
  • for practicing the painting of stone and small sculpture

The other items of the display, the figures, the vegetation and the accessories, the modeler puts together themselves.

FAQ

European city and village displays, where niches like these tend to be part of walls and facades.

A smoother treatment and a lighter tone for the statue against the rougher, darker face of the masonry help. The viewer reads the contrast as a difference of material.

Yes, the small footprint is made for one figure. The vertical item also gives it a background that a plain plinth does not offer.
