About product

Pattern number two for walking surfaces

A metal plate of roughly ten by seven centimeters carries a different relief from the first sheet of the same range. Modelers usually reach for both, because real machines differ in the form of their plate according to the maker and to the period in which they were built.

Where you meet a surface like this

The different patterns are not just decoration. A coarser relief appears where a crew moves in heavy boots and with a load, that is on crane platforms, on the rear decks of tractors or on walkways. A finer tread is found in places where a coarse surface would get in the way, on hatches and in interiors. If you use two different grids in one scene, it gains credibility at once, because that is exactly what real equipment gathered from various sources looks like. The same trick works on repaired vehicles too, where a patch never matches the original plate.

Working the material

Cut the plate along a straight ruler and level the edges with a fine file; the metal is pliable and a bad cut can be seen even after painting. Degrease the surface before gluing and apply a primer once it is fixed in place. The relief stands out if, once it has dried, you lay a thin coat of a dark shade over it and then apply a light color with a dry brush from above.

Who it will serve

  • builders of dioramas and vignettes
  • modelers of equipment in 1:35
  • building your own superstructures and platforms
  • repairs and conversions of older models

The package contains the plate itself, without templates, glue and paints.

FAQ

In the form of the relief. The size of the plate and the way it is worked stay the same, and what changes is the shape and spacing of the raised pattern.

Yes, if you are building a more complex scene. Real machines carry plate of various origins, so mixed patterns look natural.

A dark wash into the hollows works well, followed by gently running a lighter color over the high points.
