TOPIC: 6mm Pylons |
Standard User Posts: 6 Glorfindel 28th Jan 2023 11:57:48 I'm working on a new 6mm Cold War project and wondered whether anyone has seen electricity pylons that would work for this scale ? Although not vital by any means, I think they would add some 'modern' atmosphere to the terrain board. Probably too complicated to make for 6mm but I thought I would ask just in case. Thank you !

Standard User Posts: 6 Glorfindel 29th Jan 2023 09:51:14 Thanks Peter. Some really good ideas. Hopefully I'll find someone who makes these things so that I can try them out ! |
Standard User Posts: 97 bushs 29th Jan 2023 03:09:22 Try "Cold War Commanders" Blogspot. "Butlers Printed Models". search under terrain any scale. |
Depends which of the many styles (!) of pylon you're after. PerfectSix do concrete telephone poles that look like they'd double as power lines: https://perfectsixscenics.co.uk/shop/ols/products/concrete-telephone-polls. Altera Restat |
Standard User Posts: 6 Glorfindel 29th Jan 2023 08:35:19 The Perfect Six site is excellent, thank you. Lots of really useful items here (I can already see some future buys). However, looks as though Butlers have the perfect model for what I am after. I've looked under scale specific before but not tried the 'any scale' option.
Thank you both. Phil |
