Hi Everone,
Has anyone got any Ideas where I can purchase some plasticard sheets, they need to be at least 20 inches long to rebuild a badly warped wooden one on an old kit I am building.
Many thanks

These guys trade online but their 1mm white styrene is about 13 quid per square metre.

I've used these people - postage tends to be a problem if you only want one sheet. Have you looked for Plastics Stockists in the yellow pages? There must be one near MK :-))
