Do any of you diorama makers know of a plastic mesh that can work as grating, as in a warehouse catwalk, for Joes?
I already use metal gutter guard for fencing, and I would prefer a mesh with smaller holes. I'd also prefer plastic over metal, and it has to be rigid enough to support the weight of a few Joes. Any help is much appreciated.

Have you looked at the stuff used in screen doors? It's a pretty small diameter, still might be a little big for what you have in mind. It's not plastic, but could take the weight of the Joes.

Actually with a little digging, I found the dio I was thinking of:
Stargate Command Gate Room JoeCustoms.com > Playsets > Others > Stargate Command Gateroom It doesn't say what the Gate ramp is made of. Is Cap a member here?

That material (if I'm looking at the right part) is a craft store plastic. My mom used to do some kind of craft that I can't remember what it's called, but you buy that plastic stuff and thread yarn through it. If I can think of the name of it I'll post it, but for the life of me I can't recall it.
EDIT: Here you go, it's just called plastic canvas. You should be able to find it in almost any craft store - Michaels, AC Moore, etc. http://www.acmoore.com/search.aspx?c...&showall=false

Yeah, it's backing for needlework. Can get some with a tighter weave to it. Any craftstore will have it. Can get some that is canvas as well.

I know this won't help but when I was big into warhammer we were making all kinds of set pieces with parts designed for what you want. they had diamond plate and I beams all kinds of different industrial paterns all made from heavy plastic. BUT for the life of me I can't remember what it was called. go to a hobby store that is big into trains and you should be able to find it. it realy is the perfect stuff. sorry I couldn't be more exact.

I picked up some diamond plate that's perfect for joes. You can either check out Evergreen Scale Models or Plastruct for details. Lots of cool styrene options.

I use styrene quite a bit, I just haven't seen the diamond plate before.
