1:35 Printed Accessories: Wallpaper Nr.19

Wallpaper Nr.19 in 1:35 scale - wallpaper for the walls in a diorama

The set 1:35 Printed Accessories: Wallpaper Nr.19 from RT-Diorama is a printed accessory for a diorama at a size of 1:35. This is not a kit and not a finished model but an area with which you dress the walls of an interior. The range of wallpapers is numbered and the individual numbers differ in pattern, so a scene can be put together out of several different rooms without the walls repeating.

An exposed wall as the storyteller

The strongest diorama scenes work with layers. Wallpaper torn away, plaster under it and bare masonry under the plaster - this triple division on one wall tells the viewer more about the fate of a house than a whole caption. The subject therefore suits not only whole walls but also torn pieces that you leave holding only in a corner or around a window reveal.

Tips for working it in

Tear it, do not cut it - an irregular edge looks noticeably more natural than a straight cut. Apply the pieces from the top downward, so that the part lifting away hangs toward the floor, as its own weight would pull it. Unify the shades with a dust pigment and darken the bottom ten millimeters of the wall - it is just at the floor that the most dirt collects. Under torn wallpaper it pays to suggest a different color of plaster, so that the division is visible.
