Just wondering if anyone has tried these as scale replacements ?
Seems to be plenty reasonably priced plastic and celluloid on ebay.

I think they would be too thin for scales?
How thick of material are they?
Hey Chev, I've seen some advertised with a 3mm thickness.
A lot of vendors don't give dimensions though...
Well that would be about right... hummm....Quote:

Interesting idea... If they *were* too thin, that would then open up the possibility of adding some layers and colour combinations.
Seems like they have sticky backs on them also?Quote:

I was just looking at Stewart MacDonald and they have quite a variety of materials, thicknesses, with, and without adhesive backing. So I imagine there must be many many other options from other suppliers too. StewMac even carry bakelite pickguards for anyone interested in old school plastics. :)Quote:

Maybe bongo will grab some and let us know?
I'm always happy to try new stuff, Chev :idea:Quote:

Some are thicker than 3mm as well !!
Some are 3 ply which could be interesting.
I just haven't had the...errr, inclination.
Sorry, I don't mean to sound pompous.
I found these chopping boards at my local
$2.00-shop and I love the "green" colour.
I'm busy with them at the moment.
Plastic and perfect :)

The first set is color on white. If you profile that it will show a lot more white so, think about that when picking. Ha picking get it ? Great idea and way outside the box. Love it.
