Plastics & Plastic Suppliers for the Hobbyist

Since I started working with plastic I have always been a bit curious about its properties and its many forms. The following two videos will enlighten you on the differnces and their uses. You will find a list of plastic supplers below.



Plastic Suppliers

  • Evergreen Scale Models
  • Evergreen Scale Models is usually the first stop for polystyrene products for the model hobbyist. Evergreen features an extensive line of products, plain and scribed sheet, plastic strips in multiple scales, and a verity architectural shapes.
  • United States Plastic Corp
  • Although the prices here are lower than Professional Plastics and ePlastics their products are cut in slightly small dimensions. A 040" x 40" x 72" High Impact Styrene sheet will cost you $15.56.
  • Plastruct
  • Plastruct is geared toward the hobbyist and architectural firms and carry a full line of products in a variety of plastic types. Since they do provide wide range of products you can expect to pay a little more for their products.
  • Professional Plastics
  • For extra-large sheets of all types of plastic. .040" x 48 x 96 inch sheet of polystyrene can purchased for $27.47 plus postage.
  • ePlastics
  • Another source for large projects. The prices are comparable to Professional Plastics.

Another source is the Siber Plastic Supply company, which supplies sheets of polystyrene. Polystyrene sheet and some strips can also be found on eBay. Some good deals can be found from time -to-time.
