Free Styrene is just a mailbox away.

I've mentioned this before on various forums and in both my blog and newsletter but I think it needs repeating.  This week I have been bombarded with free styrene via my mailbox (snail mail). They come in the form of special discount cards, credit cards (non usabel look a likes) and gift cards (once you've used them up).

Many of these are paper...but many are good quality styrene plastic! They are perfect for scratch building and filling. To remove the print, wipe down with thinner it usually comes right off. Any raised numbers embossed on the card can be discarded by trimming them away, but I find then useful when filling inside hidden areas so I leave them on.

So check your junk mail to see if there is gold styrene in those envelopes.
