1:48 Railroad Crossing [Diorama Base]

Railroad Crossing 1:48 (RT-Diorama)

A diorama base capturing a railroad crossing in 1:48 scale from RT-Diorama. It is not a kit of a vehicle but a ready-made piece of scenery. The set combines finely cast plaster and ceramic parts with accurate 3D-printed elements and also includes the rails and the base, so you have a complete foundation for a striking scene.

What the base is for

A crossing with rails makes a rewarding foundation for a diorama - you arrange vehicles, equipment or figures in 1:48 scale around it and so finish the story. The combination of paving, rails and the surrounding terrain gives the scene a natural depth and leads the viewer's eye.

Building and painting tips

Join the plaster and ceramic parts with cyanoacrylate or PVA glue and fill the seams with filler. Seal the absorbent surface before painting, so that the paint holds and is not soaked up unevenly. Lay the base tones down with an airbrush, and then bring out the texture of the paving, the rails and the terrain with washes, dry-brushing and pigments. Bring the rails to life with shades of rust and metal.

Who the set is for

• Builders of dioramas in the smaller 1:48 scale
• Modelers who want to set a vehicle or figures into a setting
• Fans of railroad and industrial scenery
• Anyone interested in working with plaster, ceramic and 3D-printed elements

The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
