About product

Supply is a subject hardly ever seen on dioramas

Fighting vehicles are everywhere in settings, but the supply chain behind them is missing. And yet it is a heap of crates that can give a scene its sense: it explains why a vehicle is standing there, what the figures around it are doing and where everything else came from. This sheet is printed in color and gives the pattern for American crates of the Second World War period straight away, complete with the lettering and markings, so the most demanding part of the work falls away.

How to work with a paper sheet

The procedure differs from that for castings. A piece is cut out with a sharp knife along the line, the edges are marked out in advance with the blunt side of the blade so that the fold comes out cleanly, and it is glued with a thin glue. For greater stability it helps to glue a core of hard paper or plastic inside. The cut edges can be colored in with a pencil in the shade of the printing, so that they do not show up white.

Where to put crates like these

  • on a supply dump by a field road, ideally in two heaps of unequal height
  • on the bed of a vehicle, where only the top row is visible
  • at a coastal landing scene or at a depot under construction
  • as a seat or a table for figures at rest

Avoid a perfectly straight heap. A real dump is always a little crooked, the bottom layer tends to stick out and one crate lies open toward the viewer.

Think also about what will stay visible in a heap. The best piece with the sharpest printing belongs at the front and on top; hide the less successful assemblies underneath.

Paper will take only a little damp, so allow for that during painting as well as gluing.

FAQ

The scale is not given in the product name. The manufacturer makes paper sheets for the most widespread scale of military dioramas, that is 1:35, and the size of the printing matches that.

It is printed color paper, not castings. The shape therefore only comes about through assembly, and one sheet yields as many pieces as you lay out on it.

Gluing a core of hard card or an offcut of plastic inside works well. A crate will then take handling and will not be crushed when you stack it in a heap.

Yes, but carefully and dry. Dry pigment or lightly dusted paint works well, whereas wet glazes will ripple the paper and the printing may bleed.
