Hey Dakka, ive just got a simple question that someone can hopefully anwser.

Where can i buy Plasticcard in the Federalway/Auburn/Tacoma, Washington area?

Ive done some research and i cant seem to find it, anyone know a place?

Have you tried Bremerton? When I was stationed there 20 years ago, there was a model/train store on main street that had at that time been there since the 50's..

If there is a Hobbytown down there, those are probably your best bet.

If you go north, any TAP Plastics or Evergreen http://www.evergreenscalemodels.com/ would probably have a better selection.

Try maps.google.com and put in hobby stores near Tacoma, WA. I found a crap ton when I did the search. Now whither or not they sell Plasticard is another thing..

you could also try online, especially if you are looking for sheets instead of shapes

Home Depot and Wal Mart have "For Sale" "Beware of Dog" etc signs. They are made out of plasticard or varying thickness, wal mart tends to be thinner. Sign shops tend to stock large sheets of plastic card too.
If you want shape,rods, etc. and you know what size you need http://www.plastruct.com/ and the previously mentioned evergreen are good sources.
