Our square brass rod (1 metre length) is a high-quality metal profile ideal for architectural model making, model railways, dioramas and scale metal constructions. Thanks to its excellent solderability, brass is the material of choice for representing realistic metal frameworks, structural elements and fine detailing in professional and student models.
Brass is naturally weather-resistant, but over time may develop a subtle grey-green patina. For best results when soldering, the surface should be lightly sanded or polished beforehand. If you prefer a bright, golden finish, the brass can be polished and sealed with a clear coat to preserve its shine.
Square brass rods can be cut accurately using a hand saw, metal hacksaw or circular saw, making them easy to customise for precise builds. For non-soldered joints, the rods bond well with epoxy, cyanoacrylate (superglue) and specialised model-making adhesives. Due to the high copper content in the alloy, brass can also be permanently coloured using patination agents, allowing you to create aged, industrial or weathered effects for realistic finishes.
Perfect for supports, frames, trusses, rails and decorative metal details, this square brass rod is an essential material for architects, designers, hobbyists and professional model makers.
