1:35 Metal poles (2pcs.) 115,5mm

Poles 115.5 mm long in 1:35 scale, two pieces to a package

The item 1:35 Metal poles (2pcs.) 115,5mm from RT-Diorama is a scenic accessory for a diorama, not a kit of a vehicle. According to the name it is a pair of poles 115.5 mm long, which in 1:35 scale corresponds to roughly 4 meters of real height. The subject is the metal poles and masts that carry lighting, cable runs, signage or light structures in industrial and city settings. What the part is made of is given by the manufacturer on the packaging.

What a vertical element brings to a scene

A diorama often keeps close to the ground and then looks flat. A vertical element changes that at once: it gives the scene height, provides the viewer with a sense of scale and divides the space into foreground and background. A four-meter pole is meanwhile a height that does not overpower the action around it but is clearly taller than the figures and than most vehicles. It also works well as a stop at the edge of the board that keeps the eye inside the view.

Tips for placing it in the scene

• Do not put a pole in the geometric center; off the axis it looks more natural.
• A pair of poles frames a view through nicely - a roadway, the entrance to a hall or an alley.
• Check that it is upright against the edges of the buildings; a leaning pole has to have a reason in the action.
• Work the foot of the pole into the terrain so that it does not look merely stood on the surface.

Who the set is for

For modelers who create a city, station or factory diorama in 1:35 scale and are looking for a simple vertical element with a clearly stated length. A pair to a package makes it possible to create a rhythm straight away rather than one isolated point.
