I know this has come up before, but after searching the forum for a good while, I've not found an answer.

I'm after some A3 sheets of white styrene (1mm, 1.5mm and 2mm thick) as my stocks are running low. I can't remember where I got my last supplies from but I know it was reasonably inexpensive. Searching on eBay seems to unearth sources at what I consider to be silly prices - either that or only A4 sized.

Anyone know of a decent source of supply?

Rik,
I've got my last couple of purchases from www.homecrafts.co.uk/high-impact-polystyrene-sheets. They do large sheets, which aren't always easy to come by, and a range of colours, although white uis often out of stock in my experience.

Looks promising

Homecrafts are my preferred supplier too and offer free delivery above £40.00 (if I remember correctly?) which is easily achieved when buying several of the thicker sheets. Packing is always first class and delivery prompt.

With that endorsement, I feel confident they are likely to be the best.

The sheet size of 915 x 610 mm is almost bigger than my workbench.

I get my ‘plasticard’, in A3 sheets from https://www.stationroadbaseboards.co.uk ... lastic.htm

I don’t usually spend more than about £30 an order (including postage), and you can get quite a lot for this sum.

I always found good cheap A4 sheets on eBay, not sure about A3, never looked.
