About product

A fire hydrant 1:35 (MAiM)

A diorama prop for urban scenes: an above-ground fire hydrant in 1:35 scale. Few elements tell a viewer they are in a town as fast as a hydrant on the pavement. It is not a kit of a vehicle but an accessory on its own, supplied as an unpainted casting to be cleaned up and painted.

An icon of the urban street

A hydrant belongs on a corner, by the curb in front of a shop or at the gate of an industrial estate. It works superbly in modern and post-apocalyptic subjects alike: in a maintained street it shines with fresh paint, in a derelict quarter it rusts among weeds and litter. It is also an excellent narrative element, because a figure leaning on a hydrant, a dog at its foot or a military patrol on the corner will create an instant micro-scene around it. The 1:35 scale sits well with ordinary military vehicles and figures.

Tips for painting and weathering

In many countries hydrants are painted in bold signal shades, and a classic strong red or yellow will turn a small item into an accent of color for a whole vignette. After the primer, lay on the base shade, bring the edges out with a lighter tone and add scuffs with a sponge. Rust streaks around the couplings and dust at the foot will settle the hydrant naturally into the pavement, and a gloss wash will suggest wet asphalt after rain.

Who the accessory is for

  • builders of urban dioramas and vignettes in 1:35 scale
  • modelers of modern and historical vehicles in streets
  • makers of post-apocalyptic scenes
  • anyone who wants to give a scene a narrative detail

The accessory is supplied unpainted. Paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is primarily intended for 1:35; in neighboring scales it can read as a smaller or more massive type of hydrant, depending on the builder's feel.

A strong red or yellow is the most usual choice as a bold accent in a scene; in a post-apocalyptic subject chipped paint with rust comes out well.

It is supplied as an unpainted casting; before painting we recommend cleaning it up, washing it and giving it a coat of primer.
