How does this set enhance your military diorama?

The 1/35 Barricade Set is an essential “scene-builder” for historical modelers. The metal anti-tank obstacles are perfect for coastal landing scenes to create a sense of scale and peril for advancing armor. The wooden log barricades feature realistic wood-grain textures and can be integrated withTamiya 35025 SandbagsorTamiya 35028 Brick Wallsto create complex, multi-layered defensive positions for infantry figures.

Building Tips

  • Weathering the Hedgehogs:These were typically made of heavy iron rails. UseTamiya XF-56 (Metallic Grey)as a base and follow up with rust-colored powders or sponges to simulate sea-spray corrosion.
  • Texturing the Wood:While the logs are detailed, you can use a fine hobby saw or sandpaper to add deeper gashes and splinters, then wash withTamiya Panel Line Accent Color (Brown)to make the grain pop.
  • Barbed Wire Pairing:This kit pairs perfectly with 1/35 scale wire (sold separately). Wrap the wire around the hedgehogs or the ends of the logs to replicate the “prepared defense” look seen on WWII box art.
