Jetrock, The threads a few months ago concerning styrene sheets as backdrops were an eyeopener for me. Never considered it before, but seems like a great idea. One poster posted a link to a company that sells the stuff, really really cheap. At the time I did a quick computation comparing the price of the large sheets to everygreen sheets. Wow, so much cheaper. I ended up buying several sheets from the supplier (U.S. Plastics? - I don't remember the link). Shipping wasn't all that expensive. I plan to use the stuff to make some structures that are too big for the standard evergreen stuff. For back drops, I would think you could hide the joints using testors contour putty or squadron green putty. Smear the stuff over the joint, let it dry and then sand. I would also think that simple testors glue would work. The glue would melt the two pieces together and all you would need to do is sand. I think that a strip would have to be placed behind the joint for reinforcement.
