OVAL MAGNET FOR BASES 120X92MM (3 units)

Three of the largest parts

Twelve centimeters in length and nine in width make this oval the largest format of the whole group. The contents of the pack match that: three pieces. One part covers the bottom of a large diorama board, the plinth of a group scene or the base of a machine that cannot be held with ordinary magnets.

When a scene travels

Large scenes are the hardest to carry. They are held by the edges, which is where the terrain usually is, and when tilted everything that is not glued down falls off them. A magnetic bottom holds the board on the steel of a crate the whole way, so straps are not even needed. On arrival the scene comes off in one movement and is set on the show table.

Dividing it economically

Three pieces need not mean three bases. One part will yield a pair of smaller ovals, four rectangular strips or a set of round discs cut out with a compass cutter. Anyone adding to a collection step by step gets more out of this pack than out of several small sets together.

A few notes for the workshop

Store large sheets flat; a bend stays in them and at the bent place the magnet seats less well. Cut on a hard surface and run the knife away from you; the material offers less resistance than plastic, so the knife runs off easily. Do not leave the offcuts on the workbench near small steel tools, as they will pull themselves to them.

Ordered separately

Diorama boards, steel crates and models are not part of this set.

And one more rule at the end: measure and mark out a large sheet before dividing it, as there is nothing left to make a correction from.
