German City House Ruins

VAC-U-CAST 1:76 Scale Battlefield Accessory

Generic scenery suitable for Central European battlefield dioramas e simulation games. The ruin represents approximately one quarter of the original building, con most of the roof caved in. The side of the building which is left standing shows minor battlefield damage on the very corner, but the rest of the brickwork is immaculate. Using the point of a scalpel blade, the wall can be scored to look like it was hit by shrapnel.

Contenuto

Tipo: 2-story city building con masonry ground floor, timber framed upper story, slate o shingled roof section.
Base: 110 mm x 83 mm con round curb
Ruin: 87 mm x 60 mm
Altezza: 96 mm
Doorway: 28 mm x 12 mm
Note: Inside should be detailed con upper floor section e scattered rubble.

Valutazione

Compatibile con 1:76 e 1:72 scale miniatures.
Easy to assemble, only cinque parts: Base con sidewalk e curb, due wall sections, roof section e molding.
Polyurethane resin can be carved, drilled e sanded molto facilmente.
Value for money, primarily because of the time saved in assembling the model. The building is perfect for diorama purposes, but giocatori wargame will want to add a floor section inside, to allow the placement of soldatini at the upper story window.
High quality casting, con much detail e very little flash.

Tiny air inclusions on the roof section are barely noticeable. Larger holes on the inside need to be filled o carved into a slightly irregular shape to represent shrapnel damage.
An internal floor section would have been a valuable addition.

Utilizzo Storico

Central Europe, XIX e XX secolo.

Conversioni Possibili

Without the sidewalk e curb, the building may be used in earlier periods.
For additional variety, a window can be carved into the wall section next to the door.
The slate roof section can be replaced by HO/OO scale terra cotta tiles available at model railroad hobby shops.

The building looks very appropriate alongside 1:72 scale miniatures, because it is not loaded con detail which might otherwise draw the viewer’s attention away from the soldatini e veicoli in the scene. This is not a flimsy prop, the walls are just thick enough to give a good impression of what the house must have looked like before it was hit. Some interior detailing will be required to turn the ruin into a functional modello da wargame which can be occupied by defending truppe e veicoli.
