Backdrop Display Plinth 7x7x6cm Black

Backdrop Display Plinth 7x7x6cm Black

This is not a gaming aid or a base under a figure for a session but a display plinth for a cabinet. The word backdrop in the name refers to the back wall, which forms the background behind the model on show. That is exactly what sets this type of plinth apart from a plain block: the model is visually separated from its surroundings, the silhouette reads better and the viewer's eye settles on one thing instead of on whatever is behind the case. The size designation 7x7x6cm and the color designation Black are taken exactly as the name gives them.

What the back wall is for

A neutral dark background is the classic solution for presenting busts and individual figures, because it does not compete with the colors of the model and brings out its outlines. It serves equally well for photography, where the biggest problem tends to be distracting surroundings behind the subject. A plinth with a background settles both at once and takes up only as much room in a case as its footprint. The same range also comes in several sizes, so plinths can be matched across a whole collection.

Where the plinth comes into its own

• Presenting a bust or a single figure in a display case.
• Lifting one model out of a group of exhibits.
• Photographing a model against a quiet, undistracting background.
• Unifying the look of a collection when the whole range is used.
• Presenting a model at a competition or a show.

Who it is for

For collectors and modelers who put finished work on show and want it to stand out. We recommend comparing the footprint of the plinth with the size of the model's own base beforehand, so that the exhibit sits well on the 7x7 cm area and does not overhang.
