I just found this website for a store in Victoria, it has heaps of supplies that can be used in terrain building and just the general hobby, it has a variety of Foam Core, cheap 8mm Cork sheet, Brushes and more. Has anyone used this store before, it looks very reliable and I am very inclined to make a purchase for it tomorrow. It also sells EVA Foam (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) is this foam acceptable for terrain building ? is this that commonly used pink or blue foam ?

The reason for this post is that in NSW, I am having a really tough time finding decent hobby supplies, and any terrain in my gaming group is made of wood (MDF board and a gaming hill made from two pieces of one inche thick particle board layered up) and steel ( one of our gaming group members is a metal fabricator lol. We have a scratch built Fortress Of Redemption made of steel plates. It really is armour 14 all round ) so for any Aussies who have my problem of no supplies this site may be our salvation

Mandatory Loud and annoying autoplay music warning in case you dont want to let your cube mates know your surfing dakka

1. What a horrible site with horrible music that you can't stop from playing.
2. EVA is not the foam we use. We use EPS(extruded polystyrene, sometimes referred to as rigid foam board).

I nt know it had autopsy music, I generally have my laptop muted, sorry guys

EVA foam is NOT blue/pink foam.
That stuff is EXTRUDED Polystyrene (Foamular calls it XPS) - and can be got from insulation suppliers like Insulation Industries OR Foamular (both in NSW).

Mulford Plastics sells large sheets of foamcore board in their other stores. I've got to check with the local store if they do.

You're in Newcastle. II is in Broadmeadow (broadmeadow road). II sells the blue foam in 4'x2' sheets in various thicknesses.

Model railway suppliers for flocks and scatters, trees and other terrain supplies (like Frontline. Not the cheapest, but unless you KNOW a model railway guy, about the cheapest retail you will find).

Sorry, I had the abbreviation wrong.

XPS is Extruded Polystyrene, or rigid foam.

EPS is Expanded Polystyrene, which is the little white beads used in most packaging. That stuff is a nightmare to use mostly because of the mess it makes and getting smooth surfaces on it is a pain in the ass.
