Product Information

Full details

This NOCH 3D Cardboard Sheet “Timber Wall” is designed for scale model enthusiasts, particularly those working with HO (1:87) scale layouts. It offers a quick and easy way to add realistic textured walls to dioramas and model landscapes, enhancing visual appeal with its matte finish and pre-formed surface. A potential consideration is the limited coverage area per sheet, requiring multiple sheets for larger projects.

FAQs

What scale is the NOCH 3D Cardboard Sheet “Timber Wall” designed for?

The sheet is designed for HO scale, which is a 1:87 scale ratio.

How do I cut the cardboard sheet?

You can cut the sheet using a sharp hobby knife, craft knife, or precision scissors. Always use a cutting mat for safety and accuracy.

Can I paint over the printed surface?

While the surface is printed with realistic matt colors, it can be painted over with acrylic or enamel model paints if desired for further customization.

What is the coverage area of one sheet?

Each sheet covers approximately 0.03 square meters (sqm).

Is the cardboard waterproof?

No, the cardboard is not waterproof. It should be kept away from excessive moisture and cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

Can I use this for exterior walls of buildings?

Yes, it is ideal for adding realistic exterior wall textures to model buildings, sheds, or other structures in HO scale.

What type of glue should I use?

Standard model-making glues such as PVA glue, craft glue, or specialized card adhesives are suitable for adhering the sheet.

Troubleshooting

Cardboard sheet won't cut cleanly.

Ensure you are using a very sharp hobby knife or precision scissors. Make multiple light passes rather than trying to cut through in one go. Use a cutting mat to provide a stable surface.

Sheet does not adhere properly.

Ensure the surfaces to be joined are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Use an appropriate model adhesive and allow sufficient drying time under gentle pressure.

Bending causes creasing or damage.

Score the fold line lightly with a blunt edge (like a ruler or the back of a craft knife) before bending. Ensure the bend radius is not too tight for the cardboard's thickness.

Printed color appears different under lighting.

The matte finish is designed to reduce glare. Test the appearance under your specific display lighting conditions before final application. Small touch-ups with model paints may be possible for minor color discrepancies.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The NOCH 3D Cardboard Sheet “Timber Wall” requires minimal setup. It is designed to be cut to the desired shape and size using standard hobby knives or scissors. The material can then be adhered to model surfaces using common model-making glues. Its flexibility allows it to conform to slightly curved surfaces.

Compatibility:

This product is specifically designed for HO (1:87) scale model building. It is compatible with other NOCH model landscaping products and accessories, as well as most other manufacturers' components within the HO scale range. It can be used for a wide variety of model scenes, including railway layouts, dioramas, and architectural models.

Care:

To maintain the appearance of the 3D Cardboard Sheet, avoid excessive moisture. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth only. Keep away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent fading or warping. Store flat in a dry environment when not in use.
