1:35 Metal poles (2pcs.) 148mm

Poles 148 mm long in 1:35 scale, two pieces to a package

The item 1:35 Metal poles (2pcs.) 148mm from RT-Diorama is a scenic accessory for a diorama, not a kit of a vehicle or a building. The name gives a pair of poles 148 mm long, which in 1:35 scale corresponds to roughly 5.2 meters of real height. The subject is the metal poles and masts used for lighting, cable runs, signage or as the supports of light structures. The material of the part is given by the manufacturer on the packaging.

The taller version and what to do with it

Against the shorter version of the same pair, this pole is markedly taller and behaves differently in a scene: it no longer reads merely as an accessory by a wall but as a landmark around which the view is organized. Five meters corresponds to the height of street lighting, of a trolley wire mast or of a bracket carrying a cable across a roadway. In a diorama it can therefore join the two sides of a scene with a single line run above the heads of the figures.

Tips for placing it in the scene

• A taller pole takes a position in the background well, where it closes the scene off and gives it depth.
• A pair of the same height makes it possible to carry a run above the view from edge to edge.
• Check that the pole does not hide the main point of the scene when seen from the front.
• Anchor the foot into the terrain so that the join between pole and surface is not visible as a gap.

Who the set is for

For modelers who create a city, a station, a factory complex or a road scene in 1:35 scale and need a taller vertical element with a clearly stated length. A package of two makes it possible to stand a pair and run a line between them.
