Architectural Model Boards

Use for architectural model making, 3-D form studies, and sculpting. Easy to cut with knife or scissors; perfect results when laser cut. Easily create complex 3-D shapes by spraying with water, shaping and let dry in front of fan for faster results. White boards are best for forming except in 1/8" thickness. After completely dry, boards will regain rigidity. Use 1/8" thick boards for the flat parts of projects requiring extra rigidity and thickness. Boards are made from sustainable forestry wood making them easy to sand for correcting mistakes. Create strong bonds using any glue and finish with paints, stains, inks, texture finishes, etc.

Taskboard is an ultralight wood fiber board. Being light weight, it is extremely easy to cut.

Taskboard is rigid, stays flat, and won't curl when dry. Yet when sprayed lightly with water on both sides, it becomes pliable and can be formed into 3D shapes. Hold the shape with string or rubber bands until dry.

Architects prefer Taskboard when laser cutting since edge-burn is very light and can be sanded off. Laser surface etching also produces superior results.

Taskboard is available in Basswood-tone™ and white. Basswood-tone has a more distinct wood texture. White is better for forming 3D shapes and smaller radii.

Made from 100% sustainable forestry wood - Taskboard is Manufactured under the strict standards defined at the UN convention on biodiversity: Harvesting from managed forestry, replenishing the forest while protecting the local biosphere.

Cotton Matboard:

* Made of strong cotton fibers, which are naturally acid-free and lignin-free * Cotton is time-tested and naturally free of any chemicals that could harm artwork. * Cotton is annually renewable and environmentally friendly * RagMat meets museum conservation standards as set by F.A.C.T.S. and F.A.T.G. * Cotton RagMat is the only matboard guaranteed safe next to any artwork.

This sturdy chipboard is an ideal base for mounting architectural models. Features a smooth, brown finish. A popular surface for creating memory books, embellishments like die-cuts, lettering borders,, and frames for scrapbooks. Available in three thicknesses to allow for various elevations: single-weight, double-weight, and triple-weight. Each sheet measures 30"x 40".

A versatile, neutral pH board perfect for architectural models. Rigid enough to cut cleanly and provide support, but pliable enough to serve a number of modeling functions. Also known as pulp board. Each sheet measures 32" x 40".
