1:35 Printed Accessories: Oriental Wall and Floor Tiles Nr.4

Oriental tiling for walls and floors Nr.4, 1:35 scale

The accessory 1:35 Printed Accessories: Oriental Wall and Floor Tiles Nr.4 from RT-Diorama carries on the numbered range of printed tiling subjects for building dioramas. It is not a model of a vehicle and not a set of figures but a flat ground with which a modeler closes the walls and floors of a structure in a scene. Version Nr.4 differs from the other numbers in pattern, so it can be used as a second room or another story of the same house.

What the accessory is suited to

Oriental architecture rests on regular tiling, which comes about very slowly by hand and comes across as restless at the slightest difference in the spacing. A finished printed subject keeps the grid over the whole area, so a modeler can concentrate on building the walls and the openings and on the figure part of the scene. Suitable for city scenes, the insides of houses, passageways and damaged buildings in the background of a diorama.

Usage tips

• Level the area of the ground; a thin subject will not cover unevenness but bring it out.
• Before adjusting it to size, check dry how the pattern joins up in the corners.
• Cut with a sharp blade; a blunt blade will tear the edge up.
• Tone the light cut edges, so that no visible division arises.
• Fine dust and marks of wear in the places of use will give the area life.

Who the accessory is for

• Modelers building dioramas and vignettes in 1:35.
• Those who deal with the interiors of buildings and want to tell the individual rooms apart.
• Anyone interested in scenes from the Near and Middle East.
• Beginners, who find regular tiling hard to draw by hand.
