Plasticard?
Posted by EBergerud on Sunday, May 20, 2012 2:18 PM

Am still toiling on Glencoe Oregon. Very good build on an armor site but the Brazilian modeler uses stuff he calls "plasticard" for doing major surgery. Google tells me "plasticard" is sheet styrene like you'd see from Evergreen or Gale Force. The stuff this guy is using looks more like some kind of cardboard: he's cutting pieces 2mm thick with ease: 2mm would be thick styrene. Anyone know what this stuff is?

A model boat is much cheaper than a real one and won't sink with you in it.

I remember seeing something that looked like that stuff long ago.

If memory serves correctly...

It is a thin layer of plastic laminated to a backing which I believe looked very much like dense cardboard. Kind of like the stuff that used to be in T-shirts or shirt colars.

But don't quote me on it as fact...
