Where too buy supplies

[kertins]

Hi guys I'm in the UK and I'm looking for the best place to buy supplies from for pepakura making.

I have already made my self a companion cube out of paper to start with then I made it again out of card and I even resined it up and painted...

Well I now want to make a large version and I want to build it using corrugated cardboard. My question is where can I buy sheets of corrugated cardboard from??? any ideas?

Thanks for your time...

This is my paper companion cube lol

not sure about where you would get cardboard (other than just from boxes, which you could probably get for free from a grocery store.) but I do hope you weren't fiberglassing on plastic... fiberglass resin will chew through plastic. You're much better off with butcher paper, or a scrap piece of plywood.

Another great place to check on for free cardboard is appliance/furniture store warehouses. Refrigerator boxes are awesome if you have a large project...maybe after you finish the cube you could build a GLaDOS. Good luck with your project...I like to do my resin/bondo work outside.

I found a great craft shop near me that sold everything I needed for peps. I got a load of thick card from there that still fits in the printer. I did buy a cheap glue gun off amazon tho.
What other stuff you looking for?
