This is a sheet of grooves, corners, indentions, and extrusions that can used to practice adding miniature welding beads for scale modeling.
I have purchased a few RC Tanks from "Heng Long" (Tiger I, Tiger II, and a Jagdpanther) as well as some Tamiya Epoxy Putty (Quick Type) to add miniature welding beads around the parts on the tanks. This gives the model a more realistic look after it is painted. The idea is to run a small line of Tamiya's Epoxy Putty between the grooves where the welds would lay, and then go over the putty with a curved edge tool giving it a welded look to it (seen in the photos above).
This same technique could be used within many different types of Scale modeling. Whether you are working with 1/16th scale (like me), 1/35th scale, or even 1/100th scale models. This sheet is just a template that can be used to practice on.
I left room open in some of the blank areas of the sheet for the ability to add your own parts and pieces to practice on it however you l
