Compatibility and Suggested Finish
The Vallejo SCENICS FACTORY GATE base is fully compatible with all 1/72 scale models, including miniatures, military vehicles (e.g., tanks, armored cars), and civilian vehicles. Thanks to its resin construction, the base can be worked on with standard modeling tools such as files, knives, or sandpaper, for fitting or adding custom modifications.
For painting, acrylic, enamel, or oil hobby paints are recommended, depending on preference. Vallejo products (e.g., Model Color, Model Air, Game Color series) are particularly recommended due to their wide range of shades and high quality of coverage and adhesion to resin.
Suggested hobby paint colors for painting the factory gate and surroundings may include:
Concrete/Masonry Elements: Shades of grey (e.g., Vallejo Model Color 70.992 Neutral Grey, 70.989 Sky Grey) and browns for bricks (e.g., 70.818 Red Leather, 70.984 Flat Brown).
Metal Gate/Fence Elements: Dark greys (e.g., Vallejo Model Color 70.994 Dark Grey) or metallic shades (e.g., 70.863 Gunmetal Grey), including rust effects (e.g., 70.981 Orange Brown).
Groundwork: Earth, sand, or asphalt tones, supplemented with pigments and washes to simulate dirt, dust, or mud.
The product perfectly complements additional scenery elements such as dust and rust pigments, water effects, static grass, bushes, and other diorama accessories, allowing for the creation of a comprehensive and fully realistic scene.
