I usually get my large sheets from S H G

see,

http://www.shgmodels.com/acatalog/

They go to most shows with a stand so I order large sheets before hand and collect on site.

Yes it does help, although I am not able to attend Blackpool, and not sure if you will be at Warwick and more to the point I want to crack on with this project (1/72 HMS Victorious) do you do it mail order  Tried your site but it only gives me the accessories :(  if you do what costs.?


many thanks


Bob

we will be at Warwick this year with the sheets
we do not have the full sheets on the site as it is very expensive to pack and ship them for u K approx £15.00 for 1 - 5 sheets or you can collect from our shop.
