About product

Aber 1:35 set of 20 long insulators (a photo-etched set)

This item is not a kit but a detail accessory for diorama builders. It holds twenty photo-etched insulators of the long-stem type, that is, with an extended stem for fixing to a bracket, a crossarm or into a wall. A longer stem matches insulators that have to set the conductor further away from the supporting structure, for example on a line at the head of a pole or on wall brackets. The manufacturer is the Polish firm Aber, a specialist in photo-etched and turned metal accessories.

What the insulators are for

In a diorama insulators are the small thing that decides how believable a scene is. A pole fitted with insulators and strung conductors gives a vignette both scale and direction and ties the separate parts of a scene together. Twenty pieces are enough for several poles, or for a combination of poles and wall brackets. The set combines naturally with other photo-etched accessories for a diorama, for example with construction sections or with photo-etched vegetation in the same scale.

Building and painting tips

Separate the parts with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface and sand the burrs away. Glue with cyanoacrylate glue; on small parts the gel version helps, together with a toothpick or tweezers with fine tips. Degrease the brass before painting and spray it with a primer for metal. Porcelain insulators tend to be white, light gray or brown, while glass is imitated with a translucent varnish toward blue-green. Add the strung conductors from thin thread and tint them dark gray so that they do not look glossy against the light.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of dioramas and vignettes in 1:35 scale
  • Modelers building village, urban and industrial scenes
  • Enthusiasts of infrastructure detail in a diorama
  • More advanced modelers with experience of photo-etched parts

The accessory is supplied as a photo-etched set, unpainted. Poles, conductors, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Twenty pieces, which is enough to fit out several poles or wall brackets.

It sets the conductor further away from the supporting structure. It suits places where the insulator sits at the head of a pole or on a bracket in a wall.

They are not. The modeler strings the conductors himself, usually from thin thread or filament, which is tinted once strung.

These are small photo-etched parts, so a sharp scalpel, fine tweezers and patience are needed. For a complete beginner it is on the harder side.
