Embossed plastic card
« on: January 03, 2013, 08:06:34 PM »
I'm hoping to use plastic card embossed with bricks in a 28mm diorama. Does anyone know what the most suitable scale is for the card? I've seen OO on-line but don't know if that is too small. I wondered if anyone could revommend a good supplier too? Thanks in advance for any advice / help you can give.

I use Wills embossed sheets for 28mm. Plenty of styles to choose from. i found this source to be both cheap and helpful:

Awesome. I found this one on eBay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wills-SSMP204-Grey-Granite-Sets-x-4-x-130-x-75-x-2mm-00-Gauge-Plastic-Kit-/120988636180?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item1c2b7c1414

I mailed the seller to be sure it's for four sets of the granite. If so, good deal for terrific pavement!

It should be 4 per set but please note the price....Hobbygoblin charge £2.75 for the same

Oh, aha...thought the Hobbygoblin item was only 1 sheet. That site's not very insightful...the size also isn't mentioned in the item.
But if it's the same for half the price, I know where to get it!

Thanks!

I agree with your comment about lack of information. I needed more than hundred of these sheets so I checked around quite a bit. You can find similar prices elsewhere but Hobbygoblin charge postage at cost which made them the winner. I also found Steve Faulder a good guy to deal with in terms of communication and speed. Good luck!
