Diamond plate styrene needed.

[BigBlockLyle]

Hey there guys, I'm in need of one-half of a sheet of HO scale diamond plate styrene. I am wanting to build a toolbox for the back of a pickup and it needs to be a smaller pattern. I have a few big rig parts that I can trade. The reason I'm asking here is because there isn't a place around here that I can get some at.

Thanks

Benjamin.

I use Plastruct 1/100diamond plate. My local hobby shop carriers this it can be purchased directly from Plastruct.

Here's a current project I've got on the workbench where that diamond plate is being used.

Here's a supplier on eBay. This is the nicest diamond plate available in 1/25 scale. There are two 4"x8"sheets in the package.

The Don Mills treadplate shown in that Ebay ad is the most accurate and in scale. He also sells slam locks to use with the treadplate when creating boxes and bodies.

If you want to deal with a hobby shop that sells the treadplate, The Model Empire in Milwaukee does mailorder on it and other items. (www.ModelEmpireUSA.com) or call then at 414-453-4610. Great folks to deal with and a neat place to visit if you are ever in Milwaukee.
