Since you are in NZ, you might find it easier (and cheaper)to get hold of some thin MDF board to base up your vehicles, towed guns, and other heavy support weapons. The cheapest source of small bits could be the school woodwork room, otherwise pick up a part sheet at a Mitre 10 or Bunnings and cut it down to size. David's solution is a very good one, but sheets of PVC Foam can be pricey in NZ.Uncle Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975932783227453858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410457737260240142.post-73813599221426841882012-03-23T06:39:18.687-07:002012-03-23T06:39:18.687-07:00And cheap (at least it's where I buy it).
