I am trying to find a non-ebay place to order plastruct products (rods, tubes, diamond plate specifically), but every site I come across seems to have been designed in the early 1990's and has poor navigation, pictures and information... not to mention no shopping cart in most cases.

Anyone have a secret gem for these materials to share?

Good Day,

You could try Tower Hobbies: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0002p?&M=PLS

They have a selection of both Evergreen and Plastruct.

Hope this helps.

Thank you,

actually this looks about spot on, thanks very much!

I've ordered directly from Plastruct before and the shipment arrived quickly. Another great place to look for plastic, textured sheets is:

Their site leaves a little to be desired, but I recently ordered the Roman Paving Tiles and some Roman Roof Tiles from their Castle World line and they are fantastic (plus they come in 15" x 15" sheets, where the Plastruct is usually like 7" x 10").

Ive ordered direct from evergreen as well. though they have a minimum order amount. Prices are still great though.

I looked at the plastruct site, it was horrible and tough to sift through without knowing exactly what you wanted, will give evergreen a go though!

There are a few sites listed in the Modelling Resources Sticky thread in the P&M forum, mainly UK based though.

All the sites I have seen are clunky and annoying. They are small companies compared to eBay or Amazon.

Slightly Ot -- I had terrific service from http://www.leadshotballast.co.uk/

The site is basically a single page which was probably designed in 1995. I like it that they keep a running total -- 1500Kg sold to 370 customers!

I placed an order on Friday afternoon. I received an email within a couple of hours saying it had been sent out first class, and I received it the next morning.

It is surprising what a small packet 1Kg of lead shot makes.
