4. Setup and Assembly
The figures and market stall components are pre-painted and ready for placement on your model railway layout or diorama. Some minor assembly or arrangement may be required to achieve your desired scene.
4.1. Placement
- Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Arrange the market stall, figures, and produce accessories on your layout to create a realistic farmers market scene.
- Consider the flow of traffic and interaction between figures to enhance realism.
4.2. Securing Figures (Optional)
For permanent placement, figures can be secured to your layout using a suitable adhesive. Woodland Scenics recommends:
- Scenic Accents Glue (A198): This adhesive is specially formulated for instant placement while allowing for repositioning and leaving no puddles or residue.
When placing figures, you may find it helpful to use tools like Gentle Grips® (A200). These tools have extra long protective tips that can reach difficult places, will not damage figures, and have curved ends for positive grip.
5. Operating and Display
Once placed, these figures and the market stall are static display items designed to enhance the visual appeal and narrative of your model railway or diorama. They do not require power or active operation.
- Ensure figures are stable and do not easily tip over, especially if not glued down.
- Integrate the market scene with other elements of your layout, such as roads, buildings, and other figures, to create a cohesive environment.
- Adjust lighting on your layout to highlight the details of the market scene.
6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Woodland Scenics figures and market stall, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Dust figures and the stall gently with a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these may damage the paint or material.
- Handling: Always handle figures by their bases or less detailed areas to avoid damaging delicate parts or paintwork.
- Storage: If storing the figures, keep them in their original packaging or a secure, dust-free container away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
As static model accessories, these figures typically do not encounter operational issues. However, here are some common concerns and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Figure unstable/tips over | Uneven surface; figure not properly balanced. | Ensure the surface is flat. Apply a small amount of adhesive (e.g., Woodland Scenics Scenic Accents Glue A198) to the base of the figure for stability. |
| Dust accumulation | Exposure to open air. | Gently clean with a soft brush or compressed air. Consider enclosing your layout in a dust-proof display case. |
| Paint chipping/fading | Rough handling; prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. | Handle figures carefully. Keep figures out of direct sunlight. Minor touch-ups can be done with appropriate model paints. |
