Sandstone Rock Foil 80 x 35 cm, 1 pc.

HEKI rock film, stratified rock, 80 x 35 cm

This is not a model or a kit but a material for building rock. The relief imitates sedimentary rock laid down in strata, that is what can be seen on real rock at first glance: horizontal bands of differing hardness, sharp fractures and fine grooves left by weathering. The manufacturer supplies the film unpainted. One sheet measures 80 x 35 cm, that is 0.28 m², which is enough for a continuous face along the track or for a whole slope of a diorama. The film is not tied to a single scale.

Use

• rock faces along a line and along roads, cuttings, tunnel portals and the slopes of dioramas
• crumple the film firmly in both hands first, and the fractures that arise give the rock an irregular shape
• on a wooden base it is fastened with staples, otherwise with a hot glue gun applied in spots
• it is painted with a diluted black acrylic glaze wiped off with a damp sponge, then a light stone shade on the edges and a darker gray stippled on with a sponge
• pour rubble and fine ballast under the face and put tufts of vegetation above it, which hides the join with the terrain

Who it is for

For modelers who build rock quickly and without casting plaster parts, and for those who need a face in one piece with no visible joining. A large sheet also pays off because the offcuts leave smaller areas for bridge abutments and stone outcrops.

Do not use paints containing solvents on the film; the manufacturer expressly rules them out, because they would attack the surface. Paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
