Polystyrene plates 195 x 315 x 2,00 mm x 1 pcs.

Aber polystyrene sheet 195 x 315 x 2.00 mm, 1 piece

This is not a kit but a modeling blank. The package holds one white polystyrene sheet in the format 195 x 315 mm, 2 mm thick. Polystyrene is the same material that ordinary plastic kits are made of, so it is glued with the usual liquid cement for plastic and sanded and painted in exactly the same way. The supplier is the Polish firm Aber, which offers polystyrene sheets in a range of thicknesses; this two-millimeter one belongs among the thicker ones and is intended for load-bearing rather than surface parts.

Use

• Cutting: score it several times with a scriber along a ruler and snap the sheet at the groove - with a thickness of two millimeters reckon with more passes.
• Gluing: liquid cement for polystyrene, which melts the material and binds the joint firmly.
• Building your own parts (scratchbuilding), bulkheads, boxes, superstructures, repairs of damaged parts.
• Foundations and bases for dioramas, floors, the walls of buildings, concrete surfaces.
• Templates and jigs for cutting the same shapes out repeatedly.

Who it is for

For modelers who make some of their parts themselves, for diorama builders and for anyone who needs a firm, easily worked plastic material in a flat format. Thinner sheets of the same range suit skins and fine sheet metal; this thickness suits structure instead.

When cutting and sanding, work in a well-ventilated space and protect your eyes; do not inhale the sanding dust. Cements for polystyrene are flammable and irritating - follow the instructions of their maker. Keep out of the reach of small children.
