Vintage hydrants in 1:35 scale are a scenery accessory for a diorama. They belong to urban and industrial buildings, where a sidewalk without small street furniture looks empty.

A set of street props for a diorama in 1:35 scale. It is not a vehicle kit and not a standalone model but an accessory to a scene already under construction. The name refers to hydrants of an older, period design, that is, the kind of street furniture that suits historic buildings rather than a present-day street. The 1:35 scale is the most widespread scale for military equipment and figures, so the accessory will meet a wide range of other props.
A hydrant is one of those elements a viewer does not consciously register, but without them a scene does not sit right. It belongs on a sidewalk, against the wall of a house, by a factory fence or in the corner of a yard. In a scene it also helps with scale - it is an object of ordinary height by which the eye judges the size of the surrounding buildings and figures. It works well in a pair with other small street furniture: a lamp, a trash can or a bollard.
Wash the parts, let them dry out and prime them. Cast iron street furniture is rarely clean - after the base color, a dark wash into the recesses helps, together with fine chipping of the edges and a hint of dust or rust along the lower edge. In 1:35 scale even a fine surface texture is noticeable. It therefore pays to paint in layers, to pull a darker wash over the base shade and, once dry, to bring the edges out with a dry brush. Set the hydrant into the sidewalk a little lower than the edge of the base reaches; an object that merely stands on the surface gives itself away.
