Hi John it is something that would come in handy, I think the problem you may have is the fact it's a product that not a lot of people use it all the time but saying that I would buy if you have it in stock

I use styrene sheet, but not large amounts. I use it for gap filling on some of the dodgier fitting kits and very rarely for scratch building bits. I'll buy it when I need it, but sheets last a long time.

Cheers

I bought a pack of mixed sheets, a pack of mixed strips and a pack of mixed rods about 3 years ago - and they're still half full.

I've used it in the past but when scratch building anything ill use whatever is at hand and for the small amount of sheeting I use a yougart pot or fast food dish will be enough.

Being honest as ill hope you'll appreciate, for those of us who use little and have a model shop nearby I think adding postage to the normally lower cost that you provide will price it above the model shop.

For those that use a load or want to stock up then you'll be competitive as per usual.

I think it's one of these things that I'd buy one mixed pack of then I'd only use it in dribs and drabs so would last ages.

Having said that i'm not a massive scratchbuilder or superdetailer so some of those would have more use out of this material.

Your right but that could be said for a lot of products I sell, I think it would be more of a addon while buying other things type of product.

Hi John,

I would buy some Sir, I don't have a shop near by and when I have tried to look at this kind of thing on the net I get a little confused with the sizes etc, I have sent them e-mails asking and have never had a reply...

I get that too Andy, it's universal and you'd think some of the large shops would be quick to secure your business but it seems they must be doing rather well and too busy to deal with small queries.

Despite saying im not a scratchbuilder - having thought about this more, when the mixed packs come in i can see me buying one or two and if I have them on me, im more likely to add bits and pieces.... So count me in for a mixed bag :smiling3:

Now in stock, no images on the website yet just waiting for them, I don't know how I'm going to send some of them out, Royal Mail's max size if 610mm some of these pieces are 615mm, I'm sure some job's worth will notice.
