Model Making Materials

Black styrene sheet for model making.

Plastic styrene sheets are widely used in many fields of model making especially on architectural, interior design & theatre design models.

The advantages of styrene over other building materials is speed, score, snap, glue, so is a great sketch modelling material.

• Sheet thickness: 0.75mm
• Sheet size: various (see drop down box)
• Suitable for vacuum forming.
• To cut, score with a scalpel & snap for a nice clean break.
• Adhere with Plastic Weld.
• If you need to paint the styrene we recommend using a spray paint after applying a priming coat.
