About product

Aber Engrave plate (88 x 57 mm) – pattern 05

A brass plate with etched pattern number 05 from the Polish firm Aber. It serves as a die on which you make textured sheet with your own hands: you lay the thin material on, burnish it and the pattern is transferred. The working area is 88 x 57 mm without the frame. This is workshop equipment that you will use across projects.

Use

  • Walking surfaces and service platforms on aircraft models, where the texture is not indicated.
  • Non-skid surfaces on wings, at wing roots and on taxiways.
  • Floor areas and walkways in dioramas and on models of vehicles.
  • Making patches and replacement sheet metal in conversions.

Work tips

On aircraft models a gentler transfer tends to suit, because too deep a relief looks overdone in a small scale. Try the strength of the pressure out first on an offcut of the same material. Glue the finished piece on with contact adhesive or cyanoacrylate glue, and with metal foil never with cement for plastic, which will not hold on metal. You will bring the texture out with a dark wash that flows into the recesses and with light drybrushing across the edges.

Who it is for

For aircraft modelers and modelers of vehicles who want to push the realism of surfaces further, and for anyone who would rather make a part than hunt for a ready-made one. The plate pays off above all when you need the same texture over and over on several builds.

This is a modeling tool, not a kit. Foil and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

It depends on the strength of the pressure and on the material chosen. In small scales use thinner foil and gentler pressure so that the texture stays believable in scale.

On metal foil use cyanoacrylate or contact adhesive. Cement for plastic will not hold on metal, while with plastic foil ordinary modeling cement works.

A dark wash that flows into the recesses works well, followed by fine drybrushing of the edges in a lighter shade.

It is not. A brass die is not used up by ordinary use and will serve on many building projects.
