ccessories! Accessories! - We all love all kinds of accessories for our models and diorama construc-
tion and the aftermarket serves as an endless supply of options. Have you ever wondered where
it started? Early on we began to see a few details for the construction of dioramas released by
companies such as Italeri and Tamiya, until one man appeared who revolutionized the market of modelling
accessories, that man was Francois Verlinden, a Belgian modeler who created a world of accurate acces-
sories in 1978 founding Verlinden Productions. Initially the company was wildly popular with modellers
and was the only company producing quality accessories in resin. Verlinden's products, unlike traditional
plastic injection mouldings, were made of epoxy resin in silicone moulds, providing accessories with un-
matched sharpness and a lack of seems lines common to classic polystyrene kits. The offerings from the
Belgian master included photo-etched elements, plaster buildings, printed accessories, fine figures and
busts, and accessories from practically all nations to be used in the construction of dioramas and model
detailing. The company ceased production after 37 years, stepping aside to the breath of young manufac-
turers. However the Verlinden name will forever remain a cornerstone of scale modelling history. I recall
30 year old childhood memories of my introduction to the product line, I chose a Panther ammunition set,
which at the time cost as much as the Tamiya kit. I was very surprised to find that this strange hard plastic
could not be assembled using polystyrene glue. It was only later that I found out that it was resin which
requires CA glue for assembly. It sure looked cool but it was completely incorrect, ahh the good old days!
Today’s modeler can easily source any accessory imaginable, the quality of which has reached a previously
inconceivable levels. In this issue of TWM we will show you how to maximize the potential of the modern
accessories market guided by the excellent global team of AMMO modellers. The Weathering Magazine
will show you the best tricks and techniques used to bring lifelike detail to the accessories for your models
and dioramas!
