High Density Sheet for Scratch Builds

Tamiya's 10mm B4 High Density Styrene Board gives modellers a dependable, even surface for crafting scale parts and bespoke RC fittings. Its stiffness makes it a solid choice for structural pieces and small builds.

Tools for Precision and Detail

Work the board with standard hobby tools such as a jigsaw for panels and a hobby knife for trims. For small, accurate holes use a pin vice to avoid cracking and maintain tight tolerances on fittings.

Finishing and Paint Handling

The material accepts Tamiya acrylics and enamel paints along with paint pens for trims. Light scuffing and cleaning before painting will help the finish adhere and remain uniform across the surface.

Is the sheet suitable for structural parts in scale models?

Yes, its 10mm thickness gives good rigidity for mounting light components and small reinforcements, though for high stress points consider backing with stronger materials.

Which adhesives bond well to this styrene?

Plastic weld cements for styrene work well, and CA glue is suitable for quick joins. For heavier loads, use epoxy and clamp parts while curing for a secure bond.

Any tips for drilling precise holes?

Start with a small pilot hole using a pin vice and gradually increase drill size. Support the part from underneath to reduce tear-out and use light pressure when drilling.
