Does anyone know of a reasonably priced online retailer of plasticard that will ship inside the UK?

If it is possible, are there any high-street retailers? Such as Hobbycraft? But I wouldn't mind online if it was of a reasonable price, especially with shipping.

Thanks.

Yep Hobbycraft usually supply a wide range.

I think focus may do some as well.

GF9 have packs of plasticard tubes and sheets as well, so most online hobby retailers should stock this stuff as well.

anyone know where to get hobby foam (aka insulation board) in the UK?

to answer the OP. hobby craft but its expensive. Your better off buying in bulk online. ive seen 1 sheet of a4 for £7 in hobby craft!

OP:

Hobbycraft is expensive, also try:

Just use your google-fu!

Railway model shops usually have a good selection too, theres usually one in most large towns somewhere.

@brainscan

Google again
http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/ get it from B&Q or focus or homebase (if this is the stuff you need?)

keywords search 'insulation board' would do the trick

Squires in Bognor do free shipping to UK addresses -
http://www.squirestools.com/

they don't have direct web sales but you can now browse their catalogues on line then phone your order through.
You'll want the first one on the page.

but not up & running yet - doh!

As daft as it sounds ebay has load of plasticard on it

Railway shops and hobby stores like Antics stock plastic card.

EMA Models is reasonably priced if you have a fair sized order. Their minimum order is about £15-20 and the displayed prices don't include VAT, but they do sheets of 660x405mm 1mm plasticard for £2.30 after VAT, that's about 4 A4 sheets.

Also, Antenocitis workshop is better for textured plasticard, and they stock Aves Apoxie sculpt putty.

stationroadbaseboards do a decent service, Hobbycraft is where I get my foamboard from so I can make sure it is not too bashed. DAMN YOU ROYAL MAIL.

I picked up some Galeforce 9 stuff in the local Project Hydra. Most gaming stores that aren't GW usually stock it

maelstrom games has some GF9 plasticard and free shipping as well as about 10-15% off RRP.

In the UK you can also buy foamboard from staples fairly cheaply.

I buy off of gale force nine, relatively cheap and they even shipped all the way to afghanistan for me.
