1:72 Violin, Cello, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar - 2pcs each

Musical instruments 1:72 - diorama set, J's Work

A set of small accessories for dioramas and display cases in 1:72 scale. It holds a violin, a cello, an electric guitar and an acoustic guitar, according to the name two of each instrument. It is not a kit or a model of a vehicle but a set of separate decorative items that bring the scene around the main model to life.

What the set is suited to

The instruments find a use in civilian and military scenes alike: a street scene, the interior of a club or a living room, the rear area of a unit, a crew at rest, a figure composition. In 1:72 scale these are very small parts, so count on tweezers, a sharp scalpel and good lighting. They serve just as well in display cases at nearby scales, where a small detail does not look out of place.

Usage tips

Separate the parts carefully with a sharp scalpel and sand the parting surfaces with fine abrasive paper so that no edge is left anywhere. Before painting we recommend washing in lukewarm water with detergent and drying thoroughly, as the paint then holds more reliably. Paint in thin coats: on wooden instruments a brown base and a final glaze help, while a gloss clear coat on the body and a matte shade on the fingerboard make the instrument believable. Suggest the strings and the small fittings with a fine brush or a stiffened tip. Glue with cyanoacrylate applied in the smallest possible amount; on clear surfaces a thin PVA glue is preferable, as it leaves no fogging.

Who the set is for

• builders of dioramas and display cases in 1:72 scale
• modelers who want a civilian detail in the scene
• more experienced modelers used to working with very small parts
• makers of figure compositions and scenes at nearby scales

The accessory is supplied unpainted. Paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
