Hi all,
am hoping someone can direct me to a site/area where I can get some printable carpet/rugs, for some finishing touches to a dio I am putting together. I see folk using them from time to time in various dios.

Thanks in advance

Lee

H there,

Plus Model do a range of these types of posters, don't know a site for Australia but you can view them on www.plusmodel.cz and find a distributor in you location. Alternatively www.netmerchants.co.uk do their products and you can view some but not all of them there.

Dioart do a range of intereting accessories you can view the on www.accutate-armour.com
go to Products/Armour Distribution and then Dioart.

Hope this helps.

You could try asking our very own "Faust" that is on the site here.. He designed the rug that i used in this diorama.




Hope this helps some.

Turkish Woven Carpet
Ankara Cad, 60/20 Sirkeci/Istanbul
Tel (0212)512 24 29
They look real because they are real, and they're perfect for 1/35. Maybe one of the Turkish members can locate some.
They sold at AAFES Incirlik for a whopping $1.25 apiece. I still have a whole stack of them.

Along the same theme.
As I was doing some researce for a BMP in Chechnya I came across a few images of soldiers who had found carpets and attached them to the sides of the APC as souvenirs/war tropies/loot.....thought it made for a change of stowed kit , instead of seeing the usual kit bags etc.
