mrklaw Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 So, give us some hints and tips on good things you've found to use for scale accessories. Or some 'how to' guides to making something. I found a 5cm plate stand at Robert Dyas today Might make a good bike rack or spare wheel holder? Also found www.platestands.co.uk that does them in all sorts of sizes and colours including black and chrome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrklaw Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 just made my first bungee cord with a hair elastic from Claires Accessories and a coloured paper clip. Followed this tutorial on youtube - Not as easy as it looks first time, but managed it in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midi-mania Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 wheres the best place to buy plasticard (including box section and tube) in relatively large packs? because the prices on ebay are bloody stupid lol if there was a place to buy a big pack of it then i might buy a pack and see if anyone wants any as im thinking of making a few things myself but need a new scalpel set and one of those tiny drill kind of things that you twist (like a screwdriver) to drill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrklaw Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 evergreen and plastruct are the big companies for styrene. Evergreen do sheets/box/rod/tube/angle etc, plastruct do girders/ladders etc try their UK distributors to see if they'll sell direct for a large amount? Evergreen are distributed through J Perkins (link) and they have a storefinder if you just want to find your nearest stockist. My local store has some plastruct and a small evergreen stock, but no solid rod which I want, so I'm up for buying some if you fancy a group buy or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midi-mania Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 yeah, i want a bit of evergreen then, i have never seen it in shops though so do not know prices of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrklaw Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 info on what they do - shapes, sheets, different sizes, dimensions etc shapes - link sheets - link strips - link for the sheets, they really only show thickness and size of sheet. They have lots of different patterns like embossed diamond pattern etc. Good site to see examples here - link as for prices, its quite expensive in my local shop, maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midi-mania Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) i think i want 0.5,1,1.5,2mm plain sheet 0.5,1mm round rod 4mm round tube 4.8mm square tube 3.2 x 6.3,4.8 x 7.9,6.3 x 9.5mm rectangular tubing the rod and tube is surprisingly cheap imo what are the "economy packs" for plain sheet?
