1:35 Printed Accessories: Oriental Wall and Floor Tiles Nr.5

Oriental tiling for walls and floors Nr.5, 1:35 scale

The item 1:35 Printed Accessories: Oriental Wall and Floor Tiles Nr.5 belongs to the range of printed RT-Diorama diorama accessories. What arrives is a flat tiling subject, not a model of equipment: the accessory comes into its own where a scene is meant to come across as the interior or the courtyard of a structure of the oriental type. The number in the name tells the pattern apart from the other versions of the range.

What the accessory is suited to

The floor tends to be the first area a viewer notices on a diorama, and at the same time the one most demanding of regularity. Printed tiling settles it in one step and keeps the same grid even over a larger area. Besides floors it suits the tiling of plinths, the lower parts of walls, stair landings and inner passageways. It goes well together with figures and equipment set into modern as well as period-style scenes.

Usage tips

• Before starting, transfer the outline of the area onto a template and run the cut along it.
• Lay the subject out so that whole tiles come out on the side that is seen.
• Leave the leftover strips toward the edge, where a wall or rubble will cover them.
• Tone the edges after trimming, so that they do not shine.
• Concentrate the marks of use in the places where the movement of the figures runs in the scene.

Who the accessory is for

• Builders of dioramas in 1:35 who deal with interiors and courtyards.
• Modelers working with figures and equipment in a city setting.
• Those looking for a quick road to regular tiling.
• Collectors who build scenes with oriental subjects.
