About product

Styrene rod 2.00 x 5.00 x 350 mm (8 pieces)

Eight pieces of plastic profile with a rectangular cross section of 2.00 x 5.00 mm, each 350 mm long. This is material for building, not a kit: you are buying a blank from which you cut exactly what you need. The fifth millimeter of width already makes the profile a noticeably stiffer element that bows far less under its own weight.

Where it is useful

  • Longer horizontal beams where a thinner strip starts to sag visibly.
  • Longitudinal joists of floors, walkways, bridges and platforms on a diorama.
  • Cladding and planks where you want the width of the surface to read more clearly.
  • Hidden internal ribbing that holds the shape of large flat surfaces.

Work tips

A wider profile is worth laying out in advance: sketch the whole structure on paper in pencil and only then cut to it, and you will save material. Bonding two pieces together along the longer side gives you a heavier beam without having to buy another size; the joint has to be bonded with thin cement along its whole length, otherwise it opens up as it dries. The edges are easily rounded with sandpaper over a flat block, which turns a sharp plastic rod into a more convincing wooden beam. Degrease the surface before painting, as styrene holds traces of grease from your hands.

Who it is for

  • Builders of dioramas and scenes with wooden or steel structures.
  • Modelers who add their own parts to kits.
  • Anyone who needs a stiffer profile than the thinnest strips in the range.

Glue, paints and tools are not included in the package. Store the profiles flat at full length, as a bent piece will not straighten out again.

FAQ

The difference is in the width of the cross section, that is in stiffness and in the width of the visible surface. A wider profile sags less over a longer span and stands in better for a beam or a plank.

Styrene can be shaped with heat, but on a rod with sharp edges the surface ripples easily. For curves it is more reliable to cut the profile into shorter sections and bond them into a segmented curve.

The package gives eight pieces of 350 mm, that is 2.8 meters of profile in total. How much you use depends purely on what you are building.
