About product

Albion Alloys Brass Rod 0.45 x 305 mm (1 pc)

A thin brass rod 0.45 mm in diameter and 305 mm long. This is a modeling material, not a kit - it is the raw stock for details that simply cannot be made from plastic. The precision-drawn profiles of the British brand Albion Alloys hold a constant diameter along their whole length, so from a single piece you can draw a whole set of identical small parts.

Just under half a millimeter is the dimension for fine work. In the hand the rod is almost invisible, but unlike stretched sprue or fishing line it holds a perfectly straight line and will not go wavy even after years on the shelf.

Use

  • Antennas, small masts and rigging wires - straight brass looks taut and precise without anything having to be tensioned.
  • Fine struts and spacers on biplanes, sailing ships or structural dioramas.
  • Small gun barrels, probes, pitot tubes and sensors, where a molded plastic part is always too thick and snaps off at the first touch.
  • Wiring and piping in small scales - engines and interiors in 1:72 or 1:48 gain a fine structure that the rod does not overpower.
  • A hidden reinforcement for resin and 3D-printed parts - drill a hole in a fragile leg or a thin post, glue a piece of rod in with super glue and the part stops cracking.
  • Soldering - even thin brass can be soldered, so you can assemble small frames and grilles from it.

Working and painting

Cut the rod with wire cutters or a fine saw and lightly sand the end so that no burr is left. Without degreasing and a primer, paint will not hold on smooth brass - on such a thin part any flaking shows immediately, so do not leave the primer out.

Who it is for

For detailers and superdetailers who take models in small scales all the way, for builders of biplanes and ships, and for anyone who works with resin or 3D printing and needs an inconspicuous but strong reinforcement.

The material is supplied on its own, without glue and paints. The cut-off ends are sharp and fly off - protect your eyes.

FAQ

For the finest details: antennas, rigging wires, thin struts, probes and wiring in 1:72 and 1:48 scale. Wherever a thicker rod would look coarse and out of place.

Brass is stiff and strong - it holds a straight line, does not break and does not sag. Stretched plastic goes wavy in time, and fine plastic parts snap off at every touch.

Degrease the surface and apply a primer. Without a base coat, paint will not take on smooth brass and will flake off during handling.

Cut it with wire cutters or a fine saw and sand the end. Into plastic, resin and 3D prints it is glued into a drilled hole with super glue.
