The most captivating dioramas are those that tell a clear story, and often the smallest details have the biggest impact. While figures and vehicles are the main actors, simple man-made objects like barricades are the stage props that set the scene. These items are powerful storytelling tools; they can define a space, suggest a recent conflict, or establish an area of control. A few carefully placed barricades can instantly turn a simple street into a military checkpoint, a contested intersection, or a cordoned-off zone. They imply a human presence and a purpose, adding a layer of narrative and visual interest that can elevate a good model display into a great one. They are a versatile and essential accessory for creating a believable sense of place in any diorama.

This 1/35 scale plastic model kit from Tamiya is an indispensable and cost-effective accessory for the dedicated diorama builder. The set provides all the parts needed to construct a total of twelve individual barricades, offering excellent value and variety. The kit is split into two distinct styles: six classic wooden sawhorse-type barricades and six more modern-looking metal-style barriers. This allows you to mix and match them for a more realistic, less uniform appearance in your scenes. As expected from Tamiya, the parts are crisply moulded with realistic surface textures, such as wood grain on the timber barricades. This simple, easy-to-assemble set is a fantastic way to add a higher level of detail to almost any historical or modern diorama.
