any aussies out there may have noticed that the materials reccomended in the instructions are all american brand names. i have compiled a short list of the australian counterparts i have come accross so far and some tips for finding the things yourself. hope this helps
*Great Stuff: i have used both Bostik Expanda Foam($14 for a 580g can) and PARFiX Foam Fill($17 for a 565g can). i found these with the sealants in my local Bunnings. there are several brands depending on your budget.
*110(or whatever)lb cardstock: here our paper is measued in gsm, standard printing paper is 80 or 100gsm, i used 160gsm($15 for a 250 sheet ream) for my pepakura model and it worked fine, but if your printer has the muscle i would suggest 200gsm.
*Bondo: i havent done this one yet but i saw some body fillers near the sealants at bunnings, putty might also work if you are good at using it.
*fibreglass: the brand i used was diggers it comes in kits with the resin and cloth or you can buy bulk resin and cloth separately(reccomended, cheaper) the ctalyst is kept separately, its at the paint desk in my store, it comes with the kits also but you have to buy it separately if you go bulk.
I will post more if i think of them or as i come accross them, if you want to find something i havent listed, do a google search for the american brand eg. great stuff; look for a description of the product eg. expanding foam sealant; now do an australia only search for the afore mentioned description and it will come up with a heap of brands and shops to get them from. if you have any trouble just message me and i will try to help if i can.
