Model Making Materials

Thick sheets of cork.

Cork sheeting is a very useful model making material. In architectural model making, cork can be used in the making of topographical stratified models. It can also be used as a base to lay train tracks on model railway layouts.

• Sheet thickness: <5.5mm thick*
• Sheet size: 600 x 900mm
• Thinner sheets of cork are available below
• Cut with a blade or scissors
• Glue with a good quality PVA or contact adhesive
• You can laminate sheets with X-film DX double sided adhesive sheet, great for topographical stratified models

Cork has a fine, closed cell structure and low density, provides good insulation for heat and sound and is also difficult to set on fire. All of these positive attributes have led to its being very often used as a natural insulating material. Because cork does not absorb liquids or take on dust or dirt, it is hygienic as well.
