These tarpaulins are designed for a 3x7mm scale application, suitable for detailed model railway layouts and dioramas.
While they are pre-colored, acrylic model paints can be used for weathering or custom detailing if desired. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
The numbers are part of the scale detail, representing markings typically found on real tarpaulins. Note that these numbers may differ from those shown in product illustrations.
Use a small amount of model-specific glue or double-sided tape. Apply the adhesive to the wagon or load, then carefully position the tarpaulin.
These are model accessories intended for indoor display and use. They are not designed for outdoor conditions.
The material is a scale representation of tarpaulin, typically made from a paper or thin plastic-like substance designed for modeling.
Ensure the surface you are applying them to is clean and free from dust or grease. Use a suitable model adhesive and allow adequate drying time.
Carefully trim the sheets with a sharp hobby knife or scissors to the desired size. For smaller areas, consider cutting pieces from a larger sheet.
Gently work the material with your fingers to soften it and create more natural-looking folds before applying adhesive.
Setup: These tarpaulin sheets are typically ready to use straight out of the packaging. They can be affixed using standard model-making glues or adhesives suitable for plastic and paper-based materials. For a more natural look, gently shape the tarpaulins before application to simulate folds and creases.
Compatibility: The W&T / Smiths Tarpaulins OT4 LMS 1923/47 are designed for 3x7mm scale applications. They are generally compatible with most model railway scales (e.g., OO, HO) when used as coverings for rolling stock or small scenic elements. Always check the scale against your specific layout requirements.
Care: Store the tarpaulin sheets in their original packaging or a suitable container to protect them from dust and damage. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which could degrade the material. Clean gently with a soft, dry brush if dust accumulates.
