Greetings dakkamites!

I am in need of more plasticard, unfortunately i live in the middle of nowhere (nebraska) and the only "hobby shops" i can find barely have anything to call themself a hobby shop, let alone the unusual materials i need to craft things...namely plasticard and the polystyrene tubing/rods.

Particularily i want the thicker card. Wider than 1/4" tubes would be nice too but not mandatory as i can find a way around that with various junk, but i need something to make armor plates out of since i am going to start kitbashing a stompa soon. I have one small sheet of 3mm thick plasticard but that is nowhere near enough for a stompa lol. Anyone know any good websites to find this stuff? They rarely are listed as "plasticard" so google really doesnt help me
EDIT: Evidently my calipers are in need of tuning lol. The sheet i have is .060 inch thick, or 1.5mm not 3mm lol.

I've used Hobbylinc in the past to buy some model kits and been happy with their service. They offer tons of different styrene rods, tubes, etc.

For bulk orders of sheeting, the best thing to do is buy directly from a supplier. I don't have any experience with that but some of the other posters on the P&M forum do and I'm sure they'll be along shortly with some advice.

Well, that website seems promising thats for sure. Already found the sheet of plasticard i have that i need more of. Im used to gauging the size of the tubing i buy with my eyes not measurements so i guess i need to do some measuring to figure out what i have and what i need
thanks!
