Expo 1.00mm (40 thou) Thick White

The Expo 1.00mm (40 thou) Thick White Sheet is a heavy-gauge styrene plastic sheet pack used for scratch-building, structural fabrication, and major conversions in scale modelling.

This pack contains 3 sheets, each measuring 228 × 330mm, made from rigid white polystyrene suitable for cutting, shaping, and bonding with standard plastic model cement.

About the material

At 1.00mm thickness, this styrene sheet provides a strong, rigid base material suitable for load-bearing structures, large conversions, and major kit modifications. Despite its thickness, it can still be worked with standard modelling tools such as knives, saws, and files.

It is widely used in aircraft, armour, and diorama construction where strength and dimensional stability are essential.

Key features

✔ 1.00mm (40 thou) styrene sheet thickness
✔ White plastic for clear marking and visibility
✔ Pack contains 3 sheets
✔ Sheet size: 228 × 330mm each
✔ High rigidity for structural applications
✔ Compatible with plastic cement adhesives
✔ Can be cut, shaped, drilled, and sanded

Typical uses in modelling

This thickness is ideal for:

• major scratch-built structures

• armour hulls, chassis, and thick plating

• aircraft structural components and formers

• diorama buildings, walls, and terrain bases

• reinforcement of kit assemblies

• large-scale conversions and extensions

Skill level

Intermediate to Advanced

Best suited for:

• intermediate modellers expanding scratch-building skills

• advanced builders creating full conversions or structures

• diorama specialists requiring strong base materials

Beginners can also use it for simple structural work with care.

Application tips

• Use multiple light cuts rather than forcing deep cuts

• Score and snap for straight edges where possible

• Use saws for complex or curved shapes

• Bond with liquid cement for strong joints

• Sand edges for precise fit and finish

• Combine with thinner sheet for layered detailing

Ideal for

• scratch-build modellers

• aircraft and armour conversion builders

• diorama construction

• structural modelling projects

• kit modification work

Summary

The Expo 1.00mm White Styrene Sheet pack provides strong, rigid plastic sheet material for heavy structural modelling work, making it ideal for scratch-building, conversions, and large-scale diorama construction requiring durability and stability.
