Title: Where to get acrylic / plexiglass sheets?
Post by: blackice on April 19, 2012, 09:11:34 pm

I'm trying to find a small piece of acrylic / plexiglass to use as a window on my model. Ideally dark tinted or mirror finish. Can anyone suggest somewhere I might be able to find some?

Thanks in advance.

Try a decent stationers, they use Acetate sheets for covers when binding books together, they come in a variety of colours and thicknesses.

Loads of it on ebay. Just search mirrored or tinted acrylic/perspex.
