About product

Aber Engrave plate (88 x 57 mm) – pattern 03

A brass embossing plate from the Polish brand Aber with pattern number 03 etched into it. The principle is simple and as old as sheet-metal work: the plate serves as a form on which you lay thin material and burnish the pattern into it. The working area measures 88 x 57 mm without the frame. Once the work is done the plate stays untouched and you use it again.

Use

  • The floors of trucks, cargo beds, drop sides and loading ramps.
  • Tread areas and steps, where a kit offers only smooth plastic.
  • Additions to dioramas, for example roadway plates, gratings and drain covers.
  • Making replacement parts in conversions, where the original part is missing or damaged.

Work tips

You will get the best results on a soft mat, for example on hard rubber or on several layers of paper, because the material needs somewhere to give. A hard plate under the material merely squashes the pattern and the relief stays shallow. Work from the center toward the edges so that the foil does not crease. Plastic foil can be gently heated, after which it takes shape far more readily. We recommend degreasing the impressed part before gluing and only then laying down a base coat and paint, otherwise grease stays in the recesses of the pattern.

Who it is for

For modelers of trucks and utility vehicles, diorama builders and everyone who wants textured sheet to hand in unlimited quantity and in exactly the shape they need. Modelers who build older kits with simplified surfaces and want to bring them up to today's level will value it too.

This is a modeling tool, not a kit. Foil and other material for transferring the pattern are not included in the package.

FAQ

A rounded burnisher, a polisher or a blunt spatula and a soft mat will do. No press and no machinery are needed.

The rule is that the thinner the material, the sharper the impression. Thicker sheet burnishes less well and the pattern stays shallow.

Yes. We only recommend degreasing the surface before painting and using a base coat that will hold on smooth plastic or metal.

Yes, each number in this range carries a different motif. The patterns cannot be swapped between plates; the plate numbered 03 will always make only its own pattern.
