Royal & Langnickel Famous Places scratch-art kit, approx. 286 × 391 mm

Bring a landmark’s lines, windows and outlines into view in silver-coloured foil. In this Royal & Langnickel Engraving Art Famous Places project, you scrape away the black coating along a preprinted design.

What is in the kit?

You receive one preprinted board, one practice piece and one scraping tool. The board measures 11¼ × 15⅜ inches, approximately 286 × 391 mm: it is smaller than standard A3. A display frame is not included.

Choose your landmark

Choose Big Ben and Parliament, the Colosseum, the Eiffel Tower or the Taj Mahal. All four have silver-coloured foil beneath the black surface. You buy one chosen design; the images show finished examples.

From fine lines to broader areas

Try the practice piece first. The tool’s point makes fine lines; its side gives broader strokes. Work from top to bottom and put a clean sheet beneath your hand to help reduce fingerprints. Scraping removes the black coating permanently.

Finishing and careful use

Gently wipe away scrapings with a lightly damp cloth. Use the pointed tool with control; children should work with adult supervision. For another project, explore scratch art, mixed media and decoration.
