Model Making Materials

Brass strip.

Brass strips for architectural model making, filigree work, engineering, frame construction, model railway, dioramas and other scratch building projects.

• Strip length: 304mm
• Strip width: various (see drop down box)
• 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.
