1:35 Modern Military Boots & Gloves (4pcs)

Modern military boots and gloves, 4 pieces, 1:35 (Ginger Cat)

A set of four printed resin parts in 1:35 scale from the Turkish brand Ginger Cat, containing modern combat boots and tactical gloves. The manufacturer designed them in house and makes them by high-resolution resin printing. The box gives the count of four pieces. These are accessories for a scene and for figures, not a kit; paints and glue are not included in the package.

What it is suited to

Gear that has been set aside is the detail that lends a scene credibility faster than anything else: a boot by a seat, gloves on the armor or on a tool say at once that someone is working here. With this set the manufacturer highlights the laces, the sole pattern, the folds of the material, the reinforcements and the outline of the gloves. It can be used in a workshop, in a vehicle interior, at a checkpoint or simply in a stowage space.

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 modern military dioramas in 1:35 scale
• modelers who detail vehicle interiors and stowage spaces
• those interested in present-day personal gear
