Polystyrene plates 195 x 315 x 0,75 mm x 3 pcs.

Polystyrene Sheets 0.75 mm from Aber

The package contains three polystyrene sheets measuring 195 by 315 millimeters with a thickness of 0.75 millimeters. It is the thicker version of the same material that the manufacturer also offers in a thinner gauge, and it suits everywhere a part has to carry something or hold its shape: bulkheads, floors, load-bearing structures, armor plates and the bases of buildings on a diorama.

Use

• load-bearing bulkheads, floors and structures inside a model
• conversions and replacements for missing thicker parts
• armor plates and add-on paneling on vehicles
• bases of buildings and terrain features on a diorama

How to work with it

Score a thicker sheet with a scalpel along a ruler several times over, and only then snap it; one pass is not enough. Level the edge with a file or with sandpaper on a flat surface. The material is joined with cement for plastic, which welds the two parts together, and on load-bearing joints it pays to reinforce the joint from the inside with a strip of the same material. Before painting it is enough to degrease the surface and prime it.

Who the box is for

For modelers who rebuild kits, build their own structures or repair damaged models, and for builders of dioramas. The manufacturer offers the thinner version of the same material separately, so the two thicknesses can be combined according to what the part has to carry.

When cutting, work on a cutting mat and draw the blade away from your body. The thicker material offers more resistance, so press evenly on the blade and do not hurry.
