1:35 Printed Accessories: Oriental Wall and Floor Tiles Nr.3

Oriental tiling for walls and floors Nr.3, 1:35 scale

The item 1:35 Printed Accessories: Oriental Wall and Floor Tiles Nr.3 from RT-Diorama belongs to the range of printed accessories for building dioramas. It is not a kit of a vehicle and not figures but a flat subject of oriental tiling with which the walls and floors of buildings are settled in a scene. The designation Nr.3 tells the particular pattern apart inside the range, so several rooms with a different surface can stand side by side without the scene repeating itself.

What the accessory is suited to

Large flat areas are among the most laborious parts of a diorama, and when the individual tiles are drawn by hand they easily lose their regularity. A printed subject shortens that work markedly and keeps the same density of drawing over the whole area. It comes into its own in the interiors of dwelling houses, in entrance spaces, in courtyards and in damaged buildings into which equipment and figures in 1:35 are set.

Usage tips

• Level the ground first and free it of dust - every unevenness will show on a smooth area.
• Put the subject against its place dry and lay out where the joints and the divisions between areas will run.
• Trim it to the final dimension with a sharp scalpel along a metal rule.
• Tone the cut edges at the walls and thresholds, so that no light edge is left.
• Dust, fine rubble and pigments in the corners will unify the area with the rest of the diorama.

Who the accessory is for

• Builders of dioramas and vignettes in 1:35 scale.
• Modelers who put up interiors and city buildings.
• Anyone interested in scenes from the Near and Middle East.
• Anyone who wants a regular tiled surface without lengthy drawing.
