Modern Street Lamps
#MP 35-105
Review by Terry Ashley
To
compliment the two Modern City Sets (#MP 35-100 and #MP
35-101) is this Modern Street Lamp
set consisting of eight parts in light cream resin for two large overhanging
lamps seen in any modern city streets or motorways.
The resin parts are cleanly cast with just the usual casting blocks to be removed before assembly and the sections of the lamp post simply fitting into a small hollow in the end of the first two sections to accept the smaller plug from the next section for a perfect and easy fit.
The top curved section required some minor sanding to remove the leftovers of the resin pour block and has the front section of the light cover separate to expose the inner globe which has good detail definition if you wish to show this open. I did use a Dremel tool to hollow out the light cover for a better fit over the globe or better appearance if shown open, also a small 'hinge' was added from thin card on the open cover.
The assembled light stands 240mm tall and includes the inspection hatch on the lower section for a good overall appearance that should be right at home in any modern diorama. All you need then is a Pelican.
Recommended.
