1:35 USAID - Cardboard Boxes

USAID: cardboard boxes 1:35, ETA Diorama

This set offers printed paper patterns for miniature cardboard boxes in 1:35 scale with a humanitarian aid motif. The patterns are cut out, folded and glued into three-dimensional boxes that will bring to life scenes of stores, trucks or aid distribution points. This is not a model kit but a scenic paper accessory.

What it is for

Stacked boxes and crates lend a diorama both a sense of scale and a narrative context. The printing imitates real cardboard with labels and markings, so the finished boxes look convincing without painting.

Usage tips

• Cut the patterns out and score the fold lines with the blunt side of a knife.
• Glue them with PVA glue; for strength the inside can be reinforced with cardboard.
• The edges and corners can be aged lightly with a colored pencil or with pigments.

Who the set is for

• Builders of dioramas with stores, cargo and logistics.
• Modelers looking for realistic cargo accessories in 1:35.
• Everyone who wants to fill a scene with convincing cargo.

This is a set of printed paper patterns. It does not contain glue or tools, unless stated otherwise.
