grahamrobertslx Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Can somebody help! Ive been searching for ages to find a supplier of 'Styrofoam' to build a set from. But I cant find it in the UK for love no money in 8x4 sheets Can somebody point me in the right direction please. Many Thanks Graham
the kid Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 4D modelshop may wellbe able to point you in a direction. They supply "blocks" 8x4 I am not sure. The other "option" is some AB foam.
Andrew C Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 "Styrofoam" is a trade name. Ubiquitous in the USA, but not available here. Expanded polystyrene is what you need to be searching for. You can get it 'blown' with an inert gas, and flame retardant too, which is important...
boatman Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Any Builders' Merchant will stock Jablite. It is supposed to be fire-retardant, but that isn't stated on the technical specs on Jewsons' website, so you would need to ask.
kitlane Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 In a previous life we used to get ours from Sheffield Insulations. They have branches all over the country.
gyro_gearloose Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 And if you didn't already know this, some building insulation has what looks like thick paper covering one or both sides. It isn't paper, but is actually very thin glass fibre insulation so be careful if you have to cut any.
