1:35 35 Set Of Scale Models Clothing Resin Model Kit

1:35 clothing items for dioramas (Spalah)

These are scenic accessories, not figures and not a model of a piece of equipment: a set of clothing items in 1:35 scale. The maker is the Ukrainian brand Spalah, which prints the parts in 3D from photopolymer resin. Discarded clothing is a strong element in a scene: a hung-up overall, a thrown-off coat or washing on a line say that someone lives or works on the spot, even when there is not a single figure in view.

The real subject

In the storytelling of a diorama, clothing behaves as a soft material: it hangs, it sags and it follows whatever it is lying on. It is that property that is the most demanding for the modeler, because the folds have to look like fabric and not like a hard mass. Printing from photopolymer resin manages it better than casting, where thin edges and loose sleeves are lost.

Building and painting tips

Wash the resin residue off the parts, cut the print supports off very carefully and work with respiratory protection. Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Paint fabric by leaving the base lighter than the result is meant to be, letting a dark wipe run into the folds and lifting the high points with a drybrush. That procedure gives the impression of cloth; a single flat color does not.

Who the set is for

• builders of civilian and military dioramas in 1:35
• modelers who populate a scene without adding figures
• patient modelers with experience of small resin parts

This is an accessory, not a kit. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
