I'm starting a new project for my three raiders, mainly to extend them to allow for them to hold ten models. Does anyone have any leads I can go on for this? Or maybe the polystyrene sizes or websites I can go on to buy the plastic card?

Thanks for the help.

I've seen a number of people simply cut a raider in half....and add the middle of another raider in order to lengthen it. It's not a cheap job... but you can often find LR bits including the body parts on Ebay...which would be cheaper than buying a whole raider just to cut it up.

As far as plasticard goes... are you living in the woods? Does no one near you sell it? Just curious

Plasticard is known as sheet styrene in many parts of the world, so if you cant find plasticard look for sheet styrene and you might have more luck finding it. We have a very short article on the topic.

Yeah, what he said..... also...if you have them available... a lot of people just use the plastic "For Sale" "Beware of Dog" signs etc... they are really cheap compared to buying actual plasticard and once it's painted, no one knows the difference.

I have two gaming stores near my house, and only one sells evergreen plastic sheet styrene with only the thinnest sizes which are just too flexible. They bend from gravity alone and I would need to stack a few of them up.

Which is lame.

So I have really no idea of sizes to get online and such. I have found a few online vendors, but I dunno which sizes.

Thanks for the help guys.

if you have a ruler... this web site has charts for widths available... it might help

Mainly I need to know what size will be about as strong as the actual raider deck plate. What size would blend in well. If anyone has exerience in this that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the table, kmo. It did help a bit.
