Questions plastic sheets for customs

GI Jon · 07-22-2014, 10:50 AM

Good morning, I'd like to try my hand at augmenting some vehicles by adding plastic to them. I've seen pics of other tankers doing this and I was wondering where they got the supplies. I went to my local hobby lobby and I could not find the flat pieces of white plastic that I think others are using. Could someone please tell me where to buy them, and also give reccomendations as to the best method for cutting them and suggestions as to what type of glue works well to connect them to vehicles. Thank you

You want styrene, Plastruct is the largest brand for this, and for cuttting the score and break method, like tiles, is the way to go

Evergreen sheet styrene is what I use. I like the V groove stuff easy to cut. It has lines in it. I also use the round and square tubes a lot.

Cheap way of going.... Use "For Sale" signs. Large, white on one side, and cheap.

Styrene can be bought of Ebay man. There are lots and lots of options there I usually use the thicker sheets that are about one and a half millimeters thick.
