The small backdrop 1:72 Ruin Ardenne from Royal Model captures a plaster ruin of a dwelling house from the Belgian Ardennes for scenes in a smaller scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The small plaster casting 1:72 Ruin Ardenne represents a wrecked dwelling house of the kind that stood in the Belgian Ardennes. The brand intended it for the smaller scale, in which more equipment and more action fit onto a board.
The German offensive launched on December 16, 1944 found the Ardennes under snow and fog. The fighting was largely for the crossroads and villages scattered across the hilly landscape, because only through them ran roads able to carry heavy machines. Stone houses with tall gables and steep roofs took hit after hit, and of many of them only the outer walls were left by the end of January. A scene from the Ardennes therefore almost always contains a remnant of masonry, muddy or snow-covered ground and track marks.
You shorten plaster with a saw or by breaking it, and fill the joints with modeling putty or a fine plaster slurry. A smaller scale forgives less contrast, so keep the dry brush fine and thin the wash properly, otherwise the building looks as if it belonged in another scene. A snow paste will give it its winter form; apply it unevenly, with drifts to the lee side and bare mud where the traffic went.
The ruin arrives as a bare casting with no surface finish.
