Limewood slats 2 x 8 x 245 mm (8 pcs) - Aber

This is not a kit but a material for modelers. The package contains eight straight limewood slats with a cross section of 2 x 8 mm and a length of 245 mm. Limewood is popular in modeling for its fine, even grain, easy working and minimal tendency to fray. It suits ship hull planking, decks, boarding, bases and custom wooden details.

What the material is for

• Planking and deck boards on wooden and plastic ship models.
• Diorama building: boarding, walkways, fences, floors, structures.
• Making custom parts and bases for models.

Usage tips

• Cut the slats with a sharp modeling knife over a cutting mat and sand the ends with fine paper.
• For bends, dampen or warm the wood and shape it over a form.
• Bond with PVA wood glue or with super glue as needed.
• The surface can be stained, painted and weathered for a faithful look of old wood.

Who it is for

For ship modelers, diorama builders and everyone who makes their own wooden elements.

This is a modeling material, not a model. Tools, glue and paints are not included in the package.
