1:35 Concrete Breeze Blocks Version 20 3d print parts

Concrete breeze blocks, version 20, 1:35 (Ginger Cat)

A set of printed resin concrete breeze blocks in 1:35 scale from the Turkish brand Ginger Cat, offered as version twenty. The manufacturer designs its accessories in house and makes them by high-resolution resin printing. The manufacturer does not give the number of pieces for this item, so it is not stated here. These are accessories for a scene, not a kit.

What it is suited to

Concrete breeze blocks are the basic building stone of a diorama: low walls, industrial fences, improvised barricades, half-built houses and heaps of rubble can all be made from them. The version number distinguishes the individual shapes and patterns, because the manufacturer offers a whole range of such sets and each has a differently divided face. For a convincing ruin it pays to combine several versions so that the patterns in the masonry do not repeat.

Usage tips

First wash the printed resin parts in warm soapy water so that the print residue disappears from the surface and the paint will hold. Cut off the supports with a saw or a cutting disc, never with nippers, which will break the resin. The manufacturer recommends applying a base before painting. Glue the parts with cyanoacrylate glue or epoxy, as cement for plastic will not hold here. A dark wash into the recesses and a drybrush on the edges will draw out the detail. Wear a respirator while sanding.

Who the set is for

• builders of dioramas and ruins in 1:35 scale
• modelers who build low walls, fences and improvised barricades
• those interested in convincing building materials in a scene
• anyone who wants to work with heaps of rubble

This is an accessory to a model, not a kit. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
