Road works.  Gotta love ‘em!  Modern road works are often full to the brim of traffic cones and colourful plastic barriers to separate traffic that are usually filled with sand or water to stop them from blowing away.  Where the alleged workers are is usually a mystery however, but that’s another story all together.

This set arrives in a shrink-wrapped figure-sized end-opening box, and inside are six identical sprues, each of which carries two single-part cones, two plastic bollards, and two two-part barriers.  You don’t need anything else really, as the real things are just injection-moulded in their thousands, only on a larger scale and using a different type of plastic from styrene.  The instructions are found on the rear of the box, and they are painfully simple for obvious reasons.  Another painting shows the finished articles with suggested colours, but if you are depicting those unusual green cones, paint them green.  The colour is really down to you and your references.

Hazard Tape not included

 

Conclusion

Cones, bollards and barriers aren’t just used when there are roadworks, so these parts should find uses in dioramas of all sorts, from check-points to roadside debris left behind after work, or thrown in the back of a wagon for use later.

 

Highly recommended.
