About product

A street lamp for an urban scene

A street lighting pole with its lamp, cast in 1:35 scale as an accessory for dioramas with vehicles and figures. A lamp is one of the few objects that in a model reveal at once that a scene is set in a city and not somewhere out in a field. At the same time it gives a scene a vertical point around which a group of figures can be arranged.

Street lighting as a feature of a scene

The streets of European cities moved from gas lanterns to electric lamps gradually from the end of the nineteenth century, and the basic shape, a pole with a bracket arm and a shade, then held for long decades. During the war the lamps were painted black or fitted with a screen because of the blackout, while after liberation a lit lamp was among the first signs of ordinary life returning. Both are rewarding motifs on a diorama.

Recommended procedure

First check whether the pole is straight; a short bath in warm water will take a slight bend out of resin. Clean up the mating surfaces and glue them with cyanoacrylate glue, and apply the primer in a thin layer so that it does not flood the fine edges. The metal look is achieved with a darker primer, a gentle lightening of the edges and only a hint of rust at the foot of the pole.

Who the accessory is for

  • builders of urban and suburban dioramas in 1:35
  • vignettes with a street scene and figures
  • modelers looking for a vertical anchor for a scene
  • experienced and moderately advanced builders alike

The package contains only the casting itself, to be assembled and painted.

FAQ

It is not prepared for that. Anyone who wants a lit scene has to add the wiring and a microscopic diode themselves and count on modifying the shade.

Gluing a short steel pin into the foot and sinking that into the base proves itself. The glued area on its own is small and tends to be fragile.

The shape of the lamp held in Europe for a large part of the twentieth century, so it stands up in scenes from the 1930s to the postwar years.
