Help with building material

Google 'evergreen scale models' and 'plastruct'.

and a bank interested in advancing you a large mortgage!

I've been building a 1:24 scale 20' ISO container with corrugated top and sides - I could have built myself a vac-forming machine for about the same cost as the Plastruct sheets!

Actually, I'm looking for a 48 x 96" sheet. A couple of local craft stores used to carry it in smaller sizes, but now it's all foam core. I'm looking to build a large, modern factory with the stuff. It will be close to 8 ft long. I could, in a pinch, use smaller pieces and join them, but I need at least a name for the stuff.

You seem to be looking for Corrugated plastic. That is the name for it. I have found smaller sheets at Michaels, and other art supply stores. You might also find larger sizes at a sign store. If the one at Michaels is Polypropylene, you can use hot glue to hold the parts together. I made rolling stock drawer dividers from it and it works fine for that.

Why bother w/Google? Typing in "plastruct.com" gets me right to their website.

Jeff Stanton spake thus:

Depends on whether by "corrugated" you mean with a corrugated layer in the center, as in corrugated paper used for boxes, or corrugated like sheet metal coverings.

If the latter, Plastruct has it: just go to

Your suggestion gets me several types of plastic corrugated siding. Not even close.

Jeff,

You didn't answer David Nebenzahl's question:

If the FORMER, then do a google on "coroplast".

Sorry. Yes, a layer of corrugation with a smooth sheet on the outside, like a piece of cardboard. I HAVE tried coroplast. That's the polypropylene material that nothing will stick to.
