Model Building Channels & Structural Shapes

Create custom frames, supports and architectural details with Scratch Building Channels from MegaHobby. Channel-shaped structural materials provide useful profiles for miniature construction, model railroad structures, vehicle modifications and other projects requiring accurately shaped components.

Scratch-building channels can help modelers fabricate structural details that are difficult to reproduce using flat sheet material alone. Their defined profiles provide consistent shapes for building custom assemblies.

Channel Shapes for Model Construction

Channel profiles are useful for representing structural framing, supports, tracks and other components. Different sizes allow builders to select material appropriate to the scale and requirements of a project.

Scratch Build Structural Details

Channels can be cut and combined with other materials to create custom frames, supports, equipment details and architectural features. Careful measuring and alignment help maintain consistent dimensions.

Model Railroad Buildings & Structures

Structural channels can be useful for industrial buildings, bridges, platforms and other railroad projects. Explore Model Railroading and HO Scale Building Kits for related modeling subjects.

Military & Automotive Scratch Building

Builders working on Military Models, Model Cars and Model Trucks can use compatible structural shapes to create custom equipment and mechanical details.

Combine Channels With Other Materials

Explore Brass Strips, Brass Tubing and Aluminum Tubing and Sheets for additional fabrication materials.
