1:35 A signs of the populated Chechen Republic

The real subject

A sign at the edge of a village is a small thing that decides how the whole scene reads. Without it a vehicle stands somewhere in a field; with it a viewer knows at once what they are looking at. This set is aimed at the signs of villages in the Chechen Republic, that is at scenes from that setting.

What the set contains

In the package there are signs with the names of villages in 1:35 scale. The number of pieces, the version and the way of fixing them differ among the individual sets of this series, so follow the manufacturer's information on the packaging and in the instructions. Choose the glue and the preparation of the surface according to the version.

Building and painting tips

A sign looks alive only once it is not perfect. A slight lean, a bent corner and a scuffed edge do more for believability than an exactly matched tone. Prepare the post from a thin strip or from wire and sink its foot into the terrain, then cover the joint with soil or growth. Wash and degrease the surfaces before painting, so that the base paint holds, and add dust and rust only onto a dry surface.
