Cheap supply of foam board

Post by Lee »

Was browsing through my local 1$ 1€ or 1£ Shop, depending where you are from.
Found they are now stocking a type of depron.
It has a smooth coloured finish, and I can buy 6 sheets for 5€ for small sheets.
2€ for a big sheet. They are waiting for more stock, then I'll be building some sort of plane :)

Very cool, Lee! I really enjoy the build process of the hobby....especially if it can be done inexpensively.

I have the power system for a plane.
Think I'm gonna build a Bloody Wonder or some sort of 3D plane.

The Bloody Wonder is an awesome plane! I've had two of them. The fit nicely in the car and they are ready to be taken just about anywhere.
