Where to get Plastic Sheets?

by **Scrapiron-Scavanger**

I am trying to find some plastic sheets that I can cut to fit, to fill in some empty spots on my creations, but I can't find it anywhere locally. I might be looking in the wrong spot so any suggestions on where and what it might be called would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Most hobby shops should carry styrene sheet, in a variety of thicknesses.

This does not include Hobby Lobby. Desptie having "hobby" in their name, they're really more of a craft store.

Either Micheal's don't carry it or they don't know what i'm talking about, i can't find that stuff localy. I don't think Wal-Mart's carry that stuff either. :-/

Honestly, garage sale/beware of dog/whatever signs are the cheapest source of thin sheet plastic. You can get them at just about anywhere, too (Walmart, Target, hardware stores, etc). It's what I use for all of my scratch building needs.

That is exaclty what I was looking for, thanks for the idea Darko! :-D

Thanks for the link Pluv, I saw that on another thread, and man they have some nice stuff, pricy, but nice, I will have to keep that in mind in the future. I just don't want to spend that much $$$ on this project.

Like Hobby Lobby, Micheals is a craft store. Wally world didn't carry the stuff, before they dropped their model section, they're deffinitely not gonna have it now.
