Can one easily buy the kind of material used in making credit cards? These tiny 1:3000 ships won't be happy set into my usual layer of epoxy, since it'll probably submerge the lower gun decks.
You certainly can over here, Alexander.
All sorts of thicknesses (is that a word?....it doesn't look right.).....and in all sorts of colours.....(Or you used to be able to.)
Cheers - Phil :)
Yes, Lee seems to have found a supplier for me. I'll try tomorrow evening. Thanks.
I get mine from Rennes in Bold St or the Chester Model Centre. My 1/3000th stuff - WWI to Modern is on art board. Looks fine.
ty. It seems I can get some at that little model kiosk near Victory Monument (the one that opens only in the evening).

Hi, Yes you can. I get mine (in UK) from Station Road Baseboards at https://www.stationroadbaseboards.co.uk/
I have found that their service is exemplary. It starts at 0.25mm sheets in two different sizes. I use their 0.5mm sheet of plasticard for everything from 1:6000 ships to 10mm figures. I find anything thicker than 0.5mm is too 'heavy', even for 10mm, but that's a matter of taste.
Well, sturdy and unobtrusive is the ideal. I'll post results.
