1:35 Printed Accessories: Oriental Wall and Floor Tiles Nr.6

Oriental tiling for walls and floors Nr.6, 1:35 scale

The accessory 1:35 Printed Accessories: Oriental Wall and Floor Tiles Nr.6 from RT-Diorama is the last numbered version in the range of oriental tiling subjects. It is not a kit and not a finished model but a printed flat ground meant for the walls and floors of buildings on a diorama in 1:35 scale. Anyone building a more extensive scene can combine it with the lower numbers of the range and tell the individual spaces apart by it.

What the accessory is suited to

A tiled area is rewarding on a diorama but forgives no inaccuracy: irregular spacing or a rippled grid gives work by hand away at once. A printed subject keeps the drawing on one level and in one scale over the whole area. It will serve well in the interiors of houses, in courtyards, in commercial spaces and in damaged buildings, where only part of the floor is visible under rubble.

Usage tips

• Think the composition of the scene out first and only then adjust the area to size.
• Run the pattern so that the lines follow on from the edges of the walls and thresholds.
• Run the cut along a rule, with a sharp blade and in several light passes.
• Finish off the light edges after the cut, so that no visible division arises.
• Cover the places where the area does not come out on a whole tile with rubble and dust.

Who the accessory is for

• Modelers building dioramas and vignettes in 1:35 scale.
• Those who build interiors and want to tell the individual rooms apart.
• Anyone interested in scenes from the Near and Middle East.
• Anyone who finds regular tiling slow to paint by hand.
