Model Making Materials

Brass Channels.

Use these brass channels for architectural model making, engineering, frame building, model railway, dioramas and other scratch building projects.

• 1000mm long.
• See the drop down box above for available sizes.

Brass can be milled, drilled, sawed, and soldered.

Cut using a circular saw or manually with a hacksaw. If you don't want to solder, best joined using a two part epoxy or superglue.

Brass forms a greyish-green layer on the surface, which you should remove (sand, polish) before soldering.

After polishing, to preserve the shine, apply a clear laquer to the surface.

Our Workshop staff use Hycote Clear Gloss on their brass etching work.
