Anyone who has ever seen WWII film footage or even casually browsed in any book on the subject is aware of the massive destructive power of artillery and aerial bombardment.  By 1945 many towns in Europe were scarred and in some cases almost totally destroyed.   This is often the stage used by military modelers to display their models or the subject of dioramas, and is not limited to WWII.  Fighting has occurred in and around urban settings for hundreds of years.   Although there are now many excellent models from several manufacturers for damaged building corners and facades, few of them include detailing for the debris that naturally comes with the destruction of a building.  Hudson & Allen’s URBAN DEBRIS was designed with just this in mind.

Included in our product is a section of molded details that you can use in any existing kit that you are detailing.  It has been molded of lightweight urethane foam that can be easily cut and modified with a hobby knife.  You may also wish to paint in more details to blend our product with the kit you are using.  We recommend the use of water based hobby paints for coloring and “white glue” to affix the foam details.

The second component of our kit is a bag of typical debris that can simply be “dumped” on and around the foam molding.  Our mix includes powdered glue as one of our components, so once you have it arranged, you may affix it by spraying with a solution of warm water mixed with a few drops of liquid detergent to help it penetrate.  If you later feel it needs additional adhesive, you may use a mixture of “white glue”, soap and water applied with an eyedropper.  This product was designed to use with other Hudson & Allen products such as:

·       Slate Shingles, 9887

·       Red Bricks, 9517

·       Plumbing, 9607

·       Gutters and Down Spouts, 9606

Modeling tips: These are cut and paste decals printed on high quality photo paper. The road signs should be removed from the sheet by cutting with a sharp modeling knife. Apply to a surface using white glue slightly thinned with a drop of liquid soap.  Refer to original wartime photos for ideas.
