I get my styrene in large sheets from www.usplastics.com. Anyone needing some more help and inspiration, try The Star Wars Model Shop

thats the star wars geeks I was talking about lol Now i gotta check out that usplastics.

Edit: Do you use plastructs styrene much or do you just buy stuff thats not plastructs off usplastics? I saw some styrene on there but not sure which is hte good stuff. Perhaps a direct link crimson(of course if its not too much to ask)?

I buy large sheets of styrene (48x96") from USplastics because its the same stuff thats diced up and packaged by Plastruct for resale---at a much higher markup. they sell two 9x12" sheets for about $8

I use plastruct architectural parts for scratchbuilding, or even Evergreen Scale Model brand.

High Impact Styrene Sheet 48x72" (they will roll up the thinner stuff, but must cut in half (2x 48x36 sheets)the thicker stock for shipping) I use all thicknesses in the shop.

From US Plastics:

.040 Thick sheet: $11.14
. 060 Thick $16.42
.080 Thick $31.17
.100 Thick $38.82

and so on

www.guillow.com sells model building boards. They are balsa workboards, however, and I think the largest is only 48"

he wants (plastic) board stock that you use for building models not a surface board for pinning parts to the table top :p

I found someone else who sells the Evergreen and Plastruct range of styrene sheeting. You can find them HERE

Think I might start a new thread, see if we can gather a list of UK suppliers or quality modding equipment.

If you want something a little easier to work with than bondo, try spot putty from an autoparts store. It is a one part putty used to fill small dings and it sands pretty easy.
