American wooden bottle crates in 1:35 scale. Laser-cut wooden parts for supply scenes and for filling the second plane of a scene.
Responsibility details are not available.
A crate on its own means nothing; only several identical crates stacked on each other create a mass you can work with in a scene. A column of crates covers the joint between a floor and a wall, fences off an empty corner or suggests that unloading is going on right now. The trick lies in irregularity: two stacks of different heights and one crate knocked aside look natural, whereas a perfectly aligned pile looks like a shop window. A modular accessory of this type can moreover be divided between several scenes.
Bottle crates belong to supply, not to combat, and that is exactly why they are valuable in a diorama. They suggest a market, a pub, a depot or a vehicle that brought something other than ammunition, and they give a scene an everyday dimension. Set them near figures and the scale of a view settles at once, because everyone has an idea of what a crate like that looks like close up. It is therefore a scale anchor a viewer accepts without thinking.
The laser-cut parts have thin walls and visible dividers, so a crate stays open even once assembled and you can see inside. That is an advantage and an obligation: an empty crate has to be shaded from the inside, or it looks flat. Wood takes a water-thinned stain well, which lets the texture show through, and it pays to vary the shades slightly between the individual crates. Sand the edges left by the burn, or a dark rim will remain after the cut. Several crates can also be cut through and used as broken, which stretches the contents of the package over more views.
