1:35 Spotted Mushrooms Set (10pcs)

Spotted mushrooms set, 10 pieces, 1:35 (Ginger Cat)

A set of ten printed resin mushrooms in 1:35 scale from the Turkish brand Ginger Cat, in the spotted version. The manufacturer states that the parts come in various sizes and form natural clusters, so they can be placed about as they would really occur in a wood. It makes them by high-resolution resin printing. The box gives the count of ten pieces. These are accessories for a scene, not a kit.

What it is suited to

In a woodland diorama mushrooms are exactly the detail that shows the builder attended to the ground as well and not only to the equipment. They grow by stumps, in moss, on fallen trunks and in shaded places, so there is no point in scattering them evenly: a cluster at the foot of a tree looks natural, a regular row does not. A spotted cap recalls the best-known woodland mushroom and works in a scene as a splash of color, so a few are enough. The manufacturer recommends the set for woodland, overgrown and natural scenes.

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 natural and woodland dioramas in 1:35 scale
• modelers who build vegetation and terrain around their equipment
• those interested in convincing natural details in a scene
• anyone who wants to give a scene life beyond the model itself
