Hi i was wondering if anyone have links to a good online site for
plasti stuff of any kind people use for converting stuff.

So far all i seen it plastic cards and tubes, was wondering if there are varieties more.


another question, how do people model the plasti card as armor plate to fit none flat surface?
like around an arm, leg, stuff like that.

Use thin stuff and soften with glue, build it up in layers. You can just whittle a piece straight out of thick card but that's a short cut.

Use liquid poly or some other plastic cement and paint it onto the plastic, it melts and goes soft. Don't go overboard or the plastic will disolve and become a mess, you just want to soften it.

To whittle, you know, work with a knife to carve a lump into a certain shape while producing a large volume of shavings.

Both Plastruct and Evergreen are manufacturers and produce a large range of textured and patterned plastic sheet (sheet styrene) for modelmaking.
