Application of plastic boards:

Plastic boards for model building are used e.g. to represent layers of terrain models, floor levels (scale ≤ 1:1000), facade layers (scale > 1:1000 up to detail models 1:10) and as construction material for building structures (all scales).

Info: the format „boards“ differs from the format „films“ by the material thickness „th“. All plastic boards offered have a thickness of th > 0,3 mm. (note: this differentiation is no technical standard)

 

Material properties of plastic boards:

In order to find the plastic we offer more easily we distinguish plastic boards for model building according to their most striking characteristics such as transparency, colour and surface quality.
