1:35 Printed Accessories: Factory glass windows No.1

Factory glazing 1:35 - Printed Accessories Factory glass windows No.1

This is an item from the extensive range of printed diorama accessories RT-Diorama in 1:35 scale. It is not a model of a vehicle and not a figure but a scenic element that settles one particular detail of a scene: the window openings of industrial buildings. Glazing is just what tends to be the most conspicuous area of the facade on factory halls, workshops and warehouses, and is at the same time hard to make out of ordinary modeling materials.

What the accessory is for

Factory windows typically have a fine division into many panes and a subtle frame. A printed subject makes it possible to get this pattern into a scene at a consistent size corresponding to 1:35 scale, without the modeler having to make every bar separately. It comes into its own on well-preserved structures and on ruins, where some of the panes are missing and the rest stays in place. The designation No.1 tells this version apart from the other items of the same sub-range, which offer a different execution of the windows.

Tips for placing it in the scene

• Trace the window opening out first, so that the subject joins the reveal with no gaps.
• Work with a sharp knife and a metal rule, and make the cut in one pass.
• Count on a dark background or a suggestion of an interior behind the window, or the scene will let light through.
• Unify the surroundings of the opening with the facade using pigments and fine dusting, so that the detail does not come across as separate.

Who the set is for

For modelers who build a city and industrial diorama in 1:35 scale - factory yards, repair halls, station objects or fighting in built-up areas. The accessory is not tied to a particular kit, because it adapts to the opening and not to a given building. It will be appreciated as well by those who build their set pieces their own way and are looking for a ready solution to one laborious detail.
