EvilC57 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Does anyone know where I can get supplies of EPP foam sheet please? I've just bought some from Robot Birds, and had a call from the chap there to say they won't be sending out any full size sheets in future, as it's such a pain to pack them for transit. I've looked around for other suppliers, but failed to find any (and that includes eBay). I can't be the only person left who still builds from plans, and needs full size sheets occasionally. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilC57 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Thanks for that Andy. I've had a look, and as far as I can see Phoenix sell EPP foam kits, but not the EPP sheet that I'm looking for. Cheers, Clive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Jones 2 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Just bought a block cut into 9mm sheets from Flyingwings. Fantastic friendly service . Some have complained about thickness variability which is rubbish as mine is fantastic. BE quick tho as their EPP supplier is stopping and they don't have much left Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC57 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Leeds Model Shop, Flying Wings and others don't list EPP sheets at all on their websites as far as I can see, so it sounds as though maybe they have it in the shops but don't want the pain of having to package it for sending out by post. The guy at Robot Birds indicated that they and others would no longer be sending out large delicate sheets because of this. I can't remember whether I've seen EPP foam in trade tents at the shows around the UK recently. But I guess if it's available in future, it'll be to personal callers in the shops only.

EvilC57 Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Yes I saw that thread some tome ago thanks. To bring the info in it up to date: Robotbirds : As I said in my original post, I’ve bought some from there, but they told me they will no longer be stocking the larger sheet sizes. flyingwings.co.uk : Not on the website. epp-versand.de : Appear to have it, but they’re in Germany eppfoam.co.uk : Only list Depron on the website. rcfoam.com : List it, but all their white EPP is shown as Sold Out - and they’re in America epp540.com : Website seems not to exist anymore. I guess (short of having to ring around, and potentially end up driving to a model shop half way across the country) the answer is to call the traders going to the next shows (LMA Much Marcle?), and see if they'll be taking any.
