Traffic guard of 1939 in 1:72 scale

A tiny figure for an intersection, a courtyard or a street in a small scale. The subject is a member of the traffic guard, that is of the service that directed traffic on the roads and watched over its discipline. In the 1:72 ratio the figure goes with the cars and with the vehicles that modelers build most often in this scale, and it gives a scene a human dimension.

Who is on the figure

The figure matches a man in the service dress of 1939. Such a service involved headgear with a service badge, a belt and the elements that made the man clearly visible on the road. The year in the designation refers to the period when both the dress and the way the service was carried out in the Czech lands were changing, so choose the shades according to a photograph from the particular year, not according to later regulations.

Advice for painting in a small scale

On a figure this small it is contrast that decides, not smooth transitions. Lay down a thin coat of base so that the grooves of the folds are not lost, lighten the areas of the dress by a shade and create the shadow with a thin dark coat in the recesses. The face is enough managed in two tones; in this ratio it is better not to paint the eyes, because they spoil the figure to the eye. When it is done, tie the surface together with a matte overcoat and leave only the leather parts with a hint of sheen.

Where the figure fits

  • in an interwar street scene with period cars
  • with models of trucks in 1:72 scale
  • in a display case among cars of the 1930s
  • in a setting from the borderlands or from the suburbs of the late 1930s

FAQ

The 1:72 ratio means that an adult person comes out at just under three centimeters. It is a scale common for aircraft and light vehicles, so the figure joins without trouble the models you already have in a display case.

Yes, as long as they are content with a few areas and do not want to draw out the detail of the face. We recommend a brush with a short tip, thinned paints applied in several thin coats, and a matte overcoat at the end to tie the sheen together.

An intersection with period traffic, the exit from a factory or a square with a few vehicles all suggest themselves. The figure also works as an anchor for the eye, because a viewer's gaze naturally finds its way to it.
