Plastruct hexagonal profile 2.0 x 250 mm is the heaviest of the hexagons offered. Discs sliced from it make coarse bolts and nuts for large scales and dioramas; it is modeling material, not a kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
The heaviest hexagon in this range: a polystyrene rod with a hexagonal section 2.0 mm across and 250 mm long. It contains no parts of a model: it is modeling material, not a kit, that is a blank for your own work. Supplied as a single piece.
A hexagonal section can do something that neither a round nor a square profile can: slice it into discs and bolts, nuts and rivet heads simply fall out of it. There is no need to make them, only to slice, and every piece is the same as the last. At a width of two millimeters these are coarse, immediately legible bolts of the kind that suit large scales.
That means above all 1:16, 1:12 and 1:6: large tanks, motorcycles, engines and figure scenes, where a fine profile would vanish. Besides bolts it will also give you lifting eyes, industrial detail and coarse fasteners on dioramas (masts, structures, flanged joints) and sturdy struts and rods that are meant to have a technical hexagonal section rather than a smooth round one. It also serves as an imitation of hydraulic couplings and fittings on heavy equipment.
The material is polystyrene, so it takes ordinary cement for plastic; no special cement for ABS is needed. At this thickness the profile cannot simply be scored and snapped: use a modeling saw or run a knife around it several times, or the disc risks breaking off at an angle. Then sand the cut with fine paper so that the nut seats flat. Spray a primer on before painting.
For builders of large scales, dioramas and industrial scenes who need conspicuous but accurate fasteners in quantity and at a consistent quality.
The material is supplied unpainted. Glue, paints and tools are not included in the package.
