1:35 Material for dioramas.wallpaper #1

What the wallpaper is for

Wallpaper patterns in 1:35 scale serve to fit out interior dioramas. A printed sheet turns the bare wall of a setting into a living room, an office or the corridor of a house in which a scene with figures or with combat equipment takes place. It is one of the quickest ways of giving the inside of a building a finished look without laborious painting.

What the set contains

The package consists of printed sheets on which a wallpaper pattern repeats. The artwork is reduced to 1:35 scale, so next to a figure roughly five centimeters tall the size and the spacing of the pattern look natural. This item is the first part of a range of wallpaper materials from the maker Dan models; further numbers in the range offer different patterns and colorings.

Usage tips

• Trace the shape of the wall onto ordinary paper first and cut the sheet according to the template thus made.
• Apply the glue to the base, not to the printed side, or there is a risk of the print running.
• Cover the gaps at the floor and at the ceiling with a thin strip of plastic section.
• A faded or scuffed look is created by lightly going over it with a dry pigment once the glue has dried.

Who it is for

The material will be appreciated by modelers who build dioramas with the inside of a building exposed, and also by builders of display case corners where a wall is seen from close up. The package contains only the printed material. The setting, figures, furniture, glue and paints are not part of it, unless stated otherwise.
