1:35 Tin dustbin - present

Tin trash can 1:35 (Firma49)

This is a stand-alone diorama accessory, not a kit. The model faithfully captures an ordinary tin trash can and suits populating bases, yards, alleys and urban scenery in 1:35 scale. The part is made by SLA 3D printing from modeling resin with fine surface detail.

What it is for

• It adds a small but telling civilian detail of everyday life to a diorama.
• It fills out built-up areas, yards, the backs of buildings and military camps.
• It works as a compositional element for telling the story of a scene.

Tips for working it

Before gluing, wash the part free of uncured print resin residue, carefully cut off the print supports and clean up the surfaces. Glue resin with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Apply a primer before painting; ordinary modeling paints can then be used, with rust and dirt brought out by washes and pigments. Wear respiratory protection while sanding.

Who it is for

• Builders of dioramas and vignettes in 1:35 scale.
• Modelers who tune the atmosphere of civilian and military scenes.
• Anyone interested in small resin accessories for superdetailing a setting.

The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Paints, glue and a base are not included in the package.
