Hey Guys, Doe's any one out there have any idea how to obtain this material? Evergreen plastics have started to sell it in little packs of 6 yellow rods for $5.00 I'm looking for sheets, even if it was removed from a store you might work at. You usually see it on Duracell battery stand up displays.
I've used my search engine to look up as many manufacturers as I could & no0 one seems to have any Idea what I'm talking about. I must be calling it the wrong thing, If you have access to any I would be interested in paying a reasonable price or if you know the proper name I would appreciate the education.
Thanks guys & gals & I hope you can help,
Please send replys to stargaze@pulsenet.com

Dear Fernio,
Thank you very much! You didn't know how long I've been looking for this material. I light every ship I build. It just does'nt seem the same without it bit I've always wanted my ships to appear they are glowing even when the sun is out!
Let me know if I can repay the favor.
P.S. I have one more question if you don't mind, I lost 2 items from the "Scorpion" kit from ST-Nemisis. One is the instructions, I could probably wing it but with it being lighted I kinda have to know what goes where first. The second is an unusual story followed by a trajic story. On the starboard side rear wing (Passenger side)is a piece of clear glass. It's colored blue on the box. OK, I have to tell the story. My wife & I had an old entertainment center we were going to burn. It had a glass door on it. I duct taped the glass on top of my work bench, Worked great! I could cut everything from tape to styrene. Last week around 1:30 am (I don't sleep well) I was sanding a part and out of the blue the table top SHATTERED!!! :freak: I mean a thousand pieces!!
I had all my parts for the scrorpion lying on the glass & they went flying everywhere! I found all but 3. The Instructions, The clear piece off the starboard rear wing & some dinky little part off the very front that I'm pretty sure I can prefab myself. The clear part has a curve to it I probably can't prefab. If you happen to have these instructions & a fax machine, let me know so I have time to switch the phone cord from the computer to the fax.If you happen to have an extra one of those pieces, I'll freak!!!
Thanks & sorry to be a pain in the ass. Send any messages to stargaze@pulsenet.com Eddie B

Happy to Help, don't have the Scorpion kit, Email Pl(or RC2) they might be able to send the parts you need.

Hey bud, Thanks a million! Delvies sent me 4 - 2X2 squares for free as samples & RC2 are some of the nicest people I've ever worked with. They even let me get several other parts so I could put a back lite screen with a thumnail print of a nice little Hubble shot of a spiral galaxy in the little compartment at Picard's feet. That came out great! I bought the new Enterprise yesterday & Man they did a great job with Thomas & Garys design! Now if they would put out an accurate version of the Klingon Battle Cruiser "Quonos One" in scale with their new Enterprise, I'd be in hog heaven! :p
I'm hoping they are so happy with the response their getting with the new Enterprise their willing to invest in another one! I've been pulling my hair out trying to make a presentable version of Quonos One using AMT Ertyl's kit but it's just a little small to put as much detail as I'd like especially on the warp nacelles!
Thanks again for the tip on the Day-Glow acrylic! :thumbsup:
