Can anyone post pics of there styrene sheets flat and bent? Also post pics of styrene when using it to make a kit? I've bought 2 different styrenes and one was basically photo paper and the other was like plexiglass but still very bendable but seems kinda thick. Any pics would greatly be appreciated. I'll post pics of mine tonight or possibly tomorrow morning..

What do you plan on building? Maybe we could help you a little better from there.

To see some progress pictures of a styrene body kit search for Chrismcgee's Do-Luck R34 in the completed/progress section.

Check out this web page for Evergreen plastic which is one of the biggest makers of styrene plastic in the hobby industries. Here you can see all the shapes,sizes and thicknesses. You need understand what thickness works best for different applications.

I actually ordered from them 2 years ago, but got the basically paper styrene. Think of that high gloss computer paper and that was basically it. What product # have you guys used when buying at evergreen and what did you use it for?

I'm trying to make a kit...well add on to a model for a kit. But I figure I would be able to use that size for more than just a kit though.

For body kits I use .020 Styrene and some .030 styrene.
