Frequently Asked Questions
Is the acrylic grey elliptical dome suitable for use with detailed architectural scale models?
Yes, the dome is specifically suited to detailed architectural and industrial scale models. The compact outside diameter options from 9.5 mm to 19.1 mm allow you to match the dome closely to your chosen scale while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
Can the dome be used in environments where it may be handled frequently, such as exhibitions or demonstrations?
The acrylic construction provides good impact and scratch resistance for typical display, exhibition and studio handling. As with all acrylic components, avoiding abrasive cleaners and rough handling will help maintain its finish over time.
How do I choose between the 0 mm and 13.9 mm height options?
Select the 0 mm height option when you need a very low-profile, almost flush feature or cover that sits close to the surface. Choose the 13.9 mm height option when you require a more pronounced dome with additional depth, for example to protect raised details or to create a clearly visible highlight element.
