About product

Concrete barriers for a checkpoint and a closed street

The set offers castings of the dividing barrier of the type named, after the American state where it originated, the Jersey barrier. The manufacturer gives them as plaster, and that is an essential piece of information for working with them, because plaster behaves differently from resin. The barriers come in two sizes, so you can run a closure with them and also create a narrowed passage.

What the barriers are for

The profile with its widened foot and sloping sides came about so that a vehicle striking it would ride up sideways instead of being thrown sharply back into the traffic lane. In a military setting the same blocks are used to protect entrances, to guide traffic in front of a checkpoint and to stop a vehicle at speed, so they belong to the equipment of peacekeeping missions and of modern bases.

Working with a plaster casting

Plaster is porous and absorbent. Make the joints with PVA glue, therefore, which soaks into the material; cyanoacrylate glue behaves worse here. Before painting, seal the surface with a thinned primer, or the first coat disappears into the mass. You imitate scuffed concrete by sanding the edges lightly with abrasive paper and exposing a lighter core; a dark wash then belongs in the recesses, and dust and a deposit of mud at the foot.

Where the barriers fit

  • checkpoints and the entrances to bases
  • urban scenes with a closed street
  • building sites and road works
  • separating traffic lanes on a diorama

The elements are raw and unpainted; prepare the adhesive and the paints beforehand.

FAQ

For this item the manufacturer gives plaster. Some suppliers write resin, but the manufacturer's information takes precedence and it changes the way you work.

Plaster is absorbent, so cyanoacrylate glue soaks into it and the joint stays weak. PVA glue holds better.

Yes. Without sealing it with a thinned primer the first coat soaks into the porous mass and the paint looks uneven.

The profile spread in the second half of the twentieth century, so the set fits modern and present-day scenes.
