About product

A German house in ruins, 1:35 scale

1:35 German Building Ruin is a diorama backdrop from the Italian brand Royal Model: the facade of a wrecked brick house cast in plaster. It is not a model of a vehicle or a figure but the setting into which the equipment and the figures are yet to come.

What a house like this went through

The built-up areas of German towns took a battering in the last year of the Second World War from artillery, air raids and street fighting alike. A typical townhouse had brick walls covered with render, wooden floors and tall windows; after a hit, exactly this picture was left of it, that is a standing piece of facade with exposed lintels, fallen render and a heap of rubble at the foot. Walls like these served the defenders as a firing position and the attackers as an obstacle that had to be worked around or shot through.

How plaster is worked

The casting can be shortened with an ordinary hacksaw, and a break looks more convincing than a straight cut edge. The surface is absorbent, so it pays to soak it first with heavily thinned acrylic paint and only then spray the primer. The bricks stand out with a dry brush, a dark wash brings out the joints and the corners, and final pigments add a limey dustiness.

When to reach for this backdrop

  • A diorama of street fighting in Germany 1944 to 1945
  • An effective background for a single vehicle or a pair of figures
  • Modelers who do not want to lay individual bricks
  • Collectors of architectural elements for a display case

The casting is supplied unassembled and unpainted; glues and paints are not in the package.

FAQ

No. This is the architectural backdrop alone; the equipment and the figures are obtained separately according to the scene you have in mind.

PVA wood glue or cyanoacrylate glue works well. Sand the contact surface flat beforehand, so that the backdrop does not rock.

Yes, plaster is strongly absorbent. Soak it with heavily thinned acrylic paint or a sealer, otherwise you will use up needlessly much of the base coat.
