Saigon Sand Barrel Roadblock Set in 1/35 Scale

Create a distinctive 1960s-70s Saigon roadblock with this Gecko Models Sand Barrel Obstacle Set. Produced in 1/35 scale, the kit includes 20 barrels that can be arranged to form a prominent roadside barrier or divided into smaller groups across a wider Vietnam scene.

The generous number of barrels provides plenty of flexibility when planning a diorama. Build a compact obstacle around a specific point, create a longer roadblock across a roadway or use separate groups to establish several controlled areas within the same composition. Their shared design helps the finished arrangement remain visually cohesive.

Kit Overview

This plastic model kit focuses on the sand barrel obstacles associated with a 1960s-70s Saigon setting. The 1/35 scale makes the completed barrels suitable for display alongside compatible figures, vehicles and scenic elements from the same period.

The roadblock subject provides a clear structure around which to build a scene. Barrels can define the route through a composition, frame a vehicle or establish a boundary between different areas. Their repeated shape also helps create depth when placed at varying distances from the main subject.
