You can find commercially available turnbuckles from MSC, Mcmaster and similar suppliers. The aluminum don't look like much, but if you can specify steel or iron, they look decent enough. Only problem is you usually can't find them small enough for 1.5. You could always change your scale to 2.5... :-)
