Model Making Materials

White 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: 1.5mm
• Sheet size:various (see drop down box).
• These sheets are usually supplied with a matt finish on both sides. Occasionally they will be supplied with one glossy side, unfortunately we have no control over which are delivered.
• 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.
• See our Basic guide to styrene modelling (1.4Mb PDF).
