Material and glue
You should use good quality cyanoacrylate glue to glue polyurethane
models and common modeling putty for plastic models. It is
recommended to use a thinned solution of white glue for diorama
models made from hardened gypsum, and putty any gaps by using thinned
gypsum paste.
All models can be painted with any model paint. It is a good idea to
saturate gypsum models by coating them (lacquer) before painting to
reduce the absorbency of the gypsum basis.
Coloring
Some paper supplements, e. g. tent parts and maps, can be soaked in a
thinned solution of white glue or wallpaper glue before usage and
installing - they will then keep the shape they are given once the
glue has dried. Resin models and conversion kits are packaged in dark
green varnished paper boxes with an illustrative picture / photo,
title and short description on the front.
Packaging
Gypsum dioramas are packaged in durable white cardboard boxes
with a b/w picture, title and short description on the front. Paper
supplements - maps, tent parts, etc. are printed on first quality art
paper, packaged individually in plastic bags.
