About product

Insulators for lines in 1:16 scale

Small fitted elements that complete a pole of a telegraph or electrical line in a scene of a large scale. An insulator is one of those things nobody notices until it is missing; as soon as it sits on a crossarm, the pole stops looking like a bare stick.

What the elements are used for

Most often they are fitted onto the crossarms of poles along roads and railways, but they will serve on the walls of buildings, on transformer stations or on simple wiring inside workshop interiors as well. In 1:16 scale the insulators are large enough for the sheen of the glass glaze to be worked out, which is practically impossible in smaller scales.

Painting and surface

The subject tends to be white, light gray, brown or greenish. Believability is helped when you put a darker base under the covering shade and leave the light only on the upper surfaces. A final gloss overcoat gives the impression of glass or glazed ceramic better than any dry brush.

Fitting

The elements are small, so prepare tweezers and apply the glue with a pin, not straight from the bottle. Mark the spacing on the crossarm in pencil beforehand, otherwise the gaps will drift apart and the irregularity is immediately apparent when seen from the side.

Who the insulators are intended for

  • Builders of large dioramas in 1:16 scale
  • Modelers who are completing the surroundings of roads and railway stations
  • Anyone interested in industrial and workshop interiors
  • Everyone who wants to have a line pole finished down to the detail

The poles, the wires and the paints needed to finish a line are not contained in this item.

FAQ

They are not. These are the insulators themselves, and the supporting structure of the pole you build or obtain separately.

The number of pieces is not documented and is not stated here. Go by the number of crossarms you want to fit.

The name states 1:16. In a smaller scale the elements would come across as oversized, and for a larger one they would fall short.

A darker base, the covering shade on the highlights only and at the close a gloss overcoat. Matte paint will never give the look of a glass glaze.
