OK, I am inching closer toward producing my first test models. I need to know the exact type and source of hard plastic like that used for model kits. I know it is styrene, but there has to be a product name. I would like it to be close to the type used by GW.
I am also having issues with the suppliers I do find ignoring me once they find out that I am just a hobbyist and will be ordering a small amount to get started. They want tax numbers, sales figures, etc. I have none of these.
Right now I am just a guy playing around in the garage in his spare time. I am trying to make a few ranges that I feel are neglected. After I have a few for me, I am going to sell extras on E-bay.
Any info on a supplier? Thanks,
Ken |

What you are after is called HIP in the UK, High Impact Plastic, it has a different acronymn in the UK which offhand I can't remember, which is annoying me at the moment. |
