About product

A Pacific landing stage in 1:35 scale

Royal Model offers here a resin backdrop of a jetty of hewn logs and rough planks. It serves as a scene under a boat and as a standalone shore scene where the everyday work of a supply base takes place.

Bases at the end of the world

After the landings in the Solomon Islands, the facilities for torpedo boats and landing craft were built literally out of whatever grew around them. Engineers drove logs into the coral bottom, laid planks on them, and a jetty like that lasted surprisingly long, even though it was repaired after every storm. Boats moored along its edges, fuel was topped up from drums, ammunition was loaded and the wounded were taken away. Damp, salt and heat turned the wood gray within a few months and it grew over with algae.

How to bring the jetty to life

First get the grease off the casting with a short bath in warm water with a drop of dishwashing liquid. Wood gains depth if, after the base color, you work it with several thin glazes in gray, ocher and olive, never with a single full coat. Suggest the nail heads with dark dots, add a greenish tinge to the lower part of the piles and dry pigment where the water did not reach. You create the water surface around it with acrylic gel.

Suitable for

  • Scenes of the fighting in the Pacific in the years 1942 to 1945
  • Bases for small craft and boats
  • Figure scenes on the shore
  • Display cases with a naval theme

The jetty arrives as a raw casting, and the finishing material is missing from the box.

FAQ

No, the craft is obtained separately. The jetty serves as a backdrop or a base for a model you already have.

The simplest way is acrylic gel or a modeling water paste applied over a painted surface. Draw the ripples out with a brush while the gel is setting.

Build the paint up in thin glazes, never in one opaque coat, and pick out the edges with a dry brush in a light gray tone.
