Plastic profiles for model making, architectural models & construction

Discover high-quality plastic profiles for model making – ideal for precise constructions, architectural models, dioramas, model railway layouts, technical models and creative DIY projects. In this category, you will find a versatile selection of model-making profiles from MAQUETT, which are particularly well-suited to intricate details, sturdy structures and true-to-scale replicas.

Whether round rods, square profiles, flat strips, angle profiles, tubes, transparent profiles or special scale profiles – plastic profiles are among the most important basic materials in professional and hobby model-making. They are easy to cut to size, sand, adapt, glue and paint. This makes them the perfect choice for anyone wishing to realistically recreate buildings, façades, railings, hall structures, bridges, frames, windows, doors, beams, pipes, technical components or architectural details to scale.

MAQUETT plastic profiles – precise profiles for detailed models

MAQUETT’s plastic profiles are synonymous with clean workmanship, uniform shapes and reliable material quality. Precise profiles are indispensable, particularly in architectural model-making, structural model-making, technical model-making and professional model-making, as even small deviations can significantly alter the impact of a model. MAQUETT profiles are particularly well-suited to depicting fine lines, sharp edges and realistic textures.

The profiles are suitable for both simple modelling work and demanding projects where dimensional accuracy, stability and a clean appearance are important. This makes them an excellent choice for model makers, architects, design offices, students, schools, workshops and hobbyists.

Versatile applications in model making

Our plastic profiles for model making and architectural models can be used for numerous applications. In architectural model-making, for example, they are used to create façade elements, roof edges, window frames, door frames, wall finishes, columns, railings, stairs, beams and details on building models. In technical model-making, profiles can be used for frame constructions, pipework, bracing, brackets, covers or functional components.

Plastic profiles are also very popular in the field of model railways and diorama building. They are suitable for platforms, industrial buildings, warehouses, bridges, fences, gates, crash barriers, pipe systems, cargo, workshop details or small accessories. Thanks to the fine cross-sections and various profile shapes, models can be realistically enhanced and customised.

Plastic profiles are easy to work with, glue and paint

A major advantage of plastic profiles in model making is their ease of use. The profiles can be cut to length using a sharp modelling knife, a fine-toothed saw or a suitable cutting tool. They can then be sanded, adjusted and neatly glued together. Depending on the project, the profiles can be primed and painted so that they can be visually adapted exactly to the desired model.

This flexibility is particularly important for architectural models. White plastic profiles already look very clean and neutral, but can also be coloured to replicate concrete, steel, wood, metal, plastic or other surfaces. Transparent profiles and tubes are also suitable for glazing, pipes, technical installations or special design elements.

For true-to-scale constructions and clean details

Anyone wishing to build realistic models needs materials that are precise, dimensionally stable and easy to combine. MAQUETT Model Making Profiles provide an ideal basis for this. Thanks to various cross-sections and dimensions, small details can be realised just as easily as larger structures. Flat profiles are suitable for mouldings, cladding and edges. Round profiles can be used as tubes, rods, railings or technical elements. Square and angle profiles are ideal for frames, supports, beams and sturdy structures.

This allows you not only to enhance the visual appeal of your models, but also to construct them in a structurally sound manner. Plastic profiles offer a precise and easy-to-work-with solution, particularly for self-built buildings, industrial facilities, bridges, halls, vehicle models or architectural designs.
