About product

A gate for a diorama in 1:48 scale

The third design from the numbered range of gates by the manufacturer Vertigo Miniatures, for building dioramas, vignettes and display-case scenes in 1:48 scale. Every number in the range represents a different pattern, so you can put a scene together from several different items and it will not read as monotonous. It is not a model of a vehicle but an architectural accessory that creates a setting around a model.

What a gate brings to a scene

A diorama stands or falls by its composition. In it a gate works as a natural divide between two spaces, between the street and the yard, between the compound and its surroundings. From it the viewer can tell at once how big the figures and vehicles in the scene are, because everyone knows the size of a gateway from everyday life. If you put the gate at the edge of the base and the model inside, you gain a depth that a flat area alone can never give.

Tips for working and painting

You will get the best results by not painting the gate in one flat color. Lay down a dark base, lighten the edges with a dry brush and finally even the tone out with a light spray or a filter, so that the item fits in with the rest of the scene. A few small things help believability: a broken-off piece of plaster, grass growing through at the foot, the print of a wheel in the earth before the entrance. Always try dry where the viewer will enter the scene, and only then glue it down for good.

Who the accessory is for

  • Builders of dioramas and vignettes in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who want to give a model a setting and a story
  • Anyone interested in putting a scene together from several items of one range
  • Those looking for a ready-made architectural item without having to build it from scratch

This is an accessory for building a diorama, not a kit in its own right. The paints, glue, base and terrain materials are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

You do not. This is a separate accessory for building a scene. The model, the figures and the base are not included in the package.

The range is numbered and all the pieces are in the same scale, so combining them in a scene makes sense. Try how exactly the parts follow on from one another dry.

This accessory is in 1:48 scale. In a larger scale the manufacturer lists the gates as separate products, so watch the size in the name when choosing.

A dark base, lightening of the edges with a dry brush and a final evening-out of the tone, so that the item fits in with the rest of the scene, all work well.
