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

Wall and Floor Tiles Nr.4 - wall and floor tiles for a scene in 1:35

The fourth numbered version from the range of printed RT-Diorama diorama accessories in 1:35 scale. This is a flat subject for the walls and floors of an interior, which will complete a scene already built. The patterns differ between the individual numbers of the range, so a surface corresponding to the character of a building can be chosen.

Surface and light

Floor and wall tiles are rewarding on a diorama precisely because of the way they react to light. The regular drawing of the joints leads the viewer's eye into the depth of the scene and at the same time works as a scale: by the size of one field a person immediately puts together how tall a figure is or how wide a door is. If you photograph a diorama, it is just the floor that is the area that decides whether a picture comes across with space or flat.

Tips for how the scene reads

• Bring the main light from one direction; soft side lighting does the floor the most good.
• Leave a free area in the composition where the surface is visible without obstruction.
• Avoid a symmetrical arrangement of objects; the scene then comes across as static.
• Cover the transition of the floor into the foreground with an object, so that the picture has no hard edge.
• Put the shade of the floor and the walls slightly out of tune; a perfect match looks unnatural.

Who the set suits

The accessory will be put to use by modelers who build interior and city scenes in 1:35 scale, and especially by those who photograph or display their work, because it is with them that the quality of the surfaces shows the most.
