Rayden Kayne Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 If they don't, you could probably get them to order it for you, as it's something they should sell... The one in Bristol does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Arenco Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I thought plasticard was a basic hobby supply... So you would think. In my local Hobbycraft 'basic hobby supplies' for the modeller consist of enamel paint and glue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neat Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 HobbyCraft in Reading does not sell the stuff, and when I asked about it they didn't even know what I was talking about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st.germaine Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I'm in the States so my sources for where clearly won't help you but what I use probably can. My primary source of plasticard is plastic For Sale (or Beware of Dog or No Trespassing) signs. At our local Walmart or hardware store, these come in two sizes, 8.5" x 11" and a larger size 11" x 16" or something like that (I don't have any full sheets on hand at the moment to provide the actual measurement). The larger size is somewhat thicker and rather more stiff. Another source of plasticard that often gets overlooked is old gift cards, the little plastic money that looks like a credit card but is disposable after using it. This is much thicker that the signs and is great for using when you need smaller yet thicker pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortiferum Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 HobbyCraft in Reading does not sell the stuff, and when I asked about it they didn't even know what I was talking about... I can confirm that :P I rang them up and asked about plasticard they hadn't even heard of the stuff (They even have a model railway section upstairs!) Closest thing they had was foam card and acetate sheets - mind you it sounded like I was talking to a muppet - so the info I got could be wrong :D Finally got my plasticard this morning (thanks to the replies in my post earlier this week) from a model railway store.
