Compact Structural Beams for Model Makers

The Tamiya 70117 Plastic Beam set provides eight triangular rods, each 3mm thick and 40cm long, tailored for precision hobby work. They are suited to small-scale bracing, custom fixtures and clean structural additions on models.

Suited to Custom Builds and Repairs

The triangular section offers enhanced rigidity, making these beams suitable for reinforcing frames, making bespoke supports or fabricating tidy internal mounts. They integrate cleanly with common modelling workflows.

Great for Workshops and Scale Mockups

These beams are also popular in model workshops and studios for mockups, teaching projects and architectural detailing where repeatable, accurate pieces are required.

Are these beams compatible with standard plastic glues?

Yes. Solvent-based plastic cement works well to fuse joins, while CA glue is useful for quick fixes. For mixed materials, use a two part epoxy for the best bond.

Do they need special storage to avoid warping?

Store them flat and away from direct heat or sunlight. Kept in a cool, dry place the rods will retain their straightness and dimensional accuracy.

Can I use these for decorative scale trim?

Yes. Their uniform triangular profile makes them suitable for scale trim, edging and decorative elements once they are cut and finished to size.

Is there any finishing needed after cutting?

After cutting, deburr with files and sandpaper to ensure a snug fit and neat joins. Light primer before painting helps achieve a uniform finish.

Are the rods suitable for classroom projects?

Yes. Their consistent dimensions and ease of cutting make them a practical material for educational model making and workshops.
