I got a question.

I'm starting my first serious conversion soon and I'm watching and reading a lot of tutorials.
A lot of video's of orkish conversions show thin plastic plates (1 or 2 mm thick) witch are easyly cut/carved.
I'm unable to find what kind of material it is or where I can buy it.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Lars

that my friend is plasticard as they so call it! you can find it at your loccal "hobby" store, ie. model trains, airplanes, radio controled cars etc

now your icon shows you are in Netherlands so I am not sure where you would find it, there are several companies out there that provide them.

It really is hard to point to a good webiste because I have never brought them online, it really is best to walk into a hobby store and pick out what it looks like once you seeit.

You can use Styrofoam as well, plasticard would work out better in the long run though. Thinner, cheaper and just generally easier to cut.

Awsome! That's the stuff.
Now I know the name, it's not a problem to find it in the netherlands.
I allready found a few shops that sell the stuff (allthough not close to where I live). But thank got for internet!

Thanks for the help!
