WayneKennerley Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hi, I am looking for suggestions for a suitable material to represent raised catwalks around a building in S Scale (1/64) please - Material need not be that scale but just suitable I will need about 4 ft of the material so I am trying to find something inexpensive. The catwalk will be about 20mm wide but the material could come in sheets that could be cut to size. Many thanks Wayne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 you might find it here:- ,https://modelshop.co.uk/Shop .I think the stuff you're looking for is called 'Durbar Plate' It's a plate of steel with raised tread in a diamond pattern.

WayneKennerley Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Thanks Fat Controller - I will look at it though I am not sure a solid surface will be right, its probably more of a slotted walkway (Their etched brass mesh may work) - Regards Wayne Edited September 3, 2020 by WayneKennerley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmacc Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Have you considered the A4 sheets of aluminium car body repair mesh from Halfords and similar outlets? Cheap and very useful material for fences and walkways etc! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneKennerley Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 Thanks ianmacc, I will look at them, though I think they may be a bit too widely spaced, but perhaps different grades are available - Wayne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
