A styrene sheet with milled V-shaped grooves. Thickness 0.50 mm, groove spacing 1.3 mm, depth 0.30 mm.
Responsibility details are not available.
A sheet of white polystyrene with a regular pattern of sharp-bottomed V-shaped grooves milled across its entire surface. The material is only five-tenths of a millimeter thick, so it can be cut with tin snips, scored with a knife and snapped, and still holds flat without warping once glued to a frame.
The spacing between individual grooves is one and three-tenths of a millimeter. In 1:35 scale, that works out to a board roughly five centimeters wide; in 1:48, a bit over six; and in 1:72, almost ten. Depending on the scale, then, the same sheet can represent narrow deck planking in one case and a shed's plank wall in another.
Typically for the clad walls of farm buildings, barn doors, truck-bed planking, station platform decking, fence panels, or wooden diorama floors. The regularity of machine-cut grooves is something hand-scribing can barely achieve, and the shadow the sharp groove bottom casts makes the surface look optically deeper.
Joints hold with ordinary solvent-based polystyrene cement. To keep a wall from looking like a single molded slab, it pays to deepen a few grooves with a blade, randomly wave the edges, and suggest missing knots with the tip of a scalpel. The surface takes both acrylic and lacquer paints, but it's best to start with a thin primer: without it, pigment pools in the groove and the flat surface dries differently from the groove bottom. A thinly mixed dark wash is then enough to bring out the settled layer at the bottom.
