Other options for what is not offered by Evergreen.

Plastruct, offers a huge line, has been around since the 1960's, for industrial, piping, architectural & professional model makers. both styrene & ABS products, patterned sheet including diamond plate in a variety of scales, as well as many other "plastics".

Another source for diamond plate & patterned sheet is JTT. very difficult web site to find the patterned sheet, so here is the direct link for diamond plate.

Thanks for the info, most hobby shops I have visited carry none or very limited Plastruct selection, lot of good materials there especially for larger scales like 1/25.

true, i have the same issues here, but have no problem with ordering online. Since i prefer to build in ABS over styrene, plastruct has far more to offer.

Rick, Robert,
I use both styrene and abs depending on what I am building.
A few months back. I had a very good model builder( if you look at his trophies!)m tell me that abs and styrene were the same???
I just let it go and didn't even try to argue with him!

be Well
