    Default Scale material suppliers

    Are there scale material suppliers other than Masecraft? They have a minimum order of $50 which is rediculous so I am looking for someone else to give my business to.

    Thanks

    You can buy thin stock from Woodworking Plans & Tools | Fine Woodworking Project & Supplies at Woodcraft as well as ebay...just pay attention to the length.

    I live a few miles away and I frequent the shop about once a month. If you wanted to tell me what you wanted, I wouldnt mind adding it to my shopping list and sending to you as long as you pay the shipping costs.

    They are great guys over there. I never knew about the online minimum because I go to them.

    Thanks guys. I found this one that sounds like the best for me. They have a $25 min order but the sheets of G10 are good sized and less expensive. Home Page - AKS™

    Check out 'robsbits' in the UK - very reasonable and great to deal with
    Hang on and enjoy the ride...
