2 mm embossed plastikard

[PerR]

I live in Norway and I am planning to model a small layout based on the Scottish west-coast region in N gauge.

 

I can not find any available embossed plastikard in 2 mm useful for stonebuildings/-structures in Norwegian model-shops. I therefore have to order it from UK.

 

Based on the webpictures, I can not figure what brands/ types of embossed plastikard are the best and most realistic for stone buildings. Are there any recommandations on what brands and types are the most detailed and realistic...?

 

I also need the same type of recommandation for plastikard for slates to the roof of the buildings...?

Slaters do embossed plastikard in 2,4, and 7mm scales plus a few items in 3mm, various brick, stone and tile textures.

Thank you for your answer!
 

I have seen the Ratio products, and I have bought  some of them. They are not for sale here, but can be ordered from the UK.

 

I think the Ratio-sheets for the wall are more likely to use for retaining walls etc than buildings. I might be wrong, but I get the impression that the stones are to big for house walls.

 

The slates from Ratio are in quit small sheets, and I am looking for wider sheets to cover more roof in one piece.

I have watched the flyer from Slaters, and I like the details and the size of the sheets. I guess «Dressed stone» is the most suitable for building-walls?

 

I find the sheets quite thin, but I guess I need to build the structures with thicker plain cards and then cover them with the Slaters afterwards?

 

Is Slaters the brand with the best detailed products in 2 mm?

That is what most people do. Plain plastikard is available in quite a lot of thicknesses (40 thou is effectively 1mm thick).

 

All the best
