1:35 Plant Pots (5pcs)

Plant Pots (5 pcs) 1:35 (GINGER CAT)

A 3D-printed resin set of plant containers in 1:35 scale from GINGER CAT. The manufacturer gives five pieces in the package. They are empty containers; the planting is added by the modeler. In a separate sub-line the manufacturer also lists individual plants, so a container and a plant can be put together.

What the accessory is for

A plant container is a small but very effective element in a scene. On steps, on a window sill or by an entrance it gives away at once that somebody lives in the building, while in a neglected scene an overturned and empty planter says that nobody is there any more. Because the containers are supplied empty, the planting can be matched to the climate of the setting: from geraniums in a central European city to succulents in a desert scene.

Building and painting tips

3D-printed parts are small and brittle: separate them with a fine-tooth saw or with nippers and level the remains of the print supports with a fine file. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); solvent cement for plastic does not hold. Before painting, spray a thin coat of primer, as a heavy coat would drown the detail.

Who the accessory is for

• builders of urban and civilian dioramas in 1:35 scale
• modelers who will add the planting with vegetation of their own
• more experienced modelers used to small printed parts

The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
