plasticard

where can you get it in saskatoon?

Hobbyworld....sheets and tubes and other goodies.

Dragon's Den also sells it, it's on the X (or plus sign) shaped rotational thing near the front counter where some basing materials and templates are located. It's by Gale Force Nine.

=And is super overpriced by gale force nine. Buying it uncut and unpackaged from hobbyworld will save you quite a bit (not saying don't buy from Darren, but that its crazy to buy plasticard anywhere else).

I figured as such, similarily buying tools from DD is a bad idea... I agree it's not his fault, just the whole brand name stuff.

Yeah. i buy almost everything from the den, except for brushes and plasticard. Those two you can't shirk on, you need good brushes, and I don't plan on spending a lot for plastic tubing. But paint, models, knives, clippers, books etc, are all well priced at the den.

Knives aren't, or at least the knife I bought wasn't =/

Hobbyworld is also great for blades, you get like 5-6 per package for $1.95. I've yet to see cheaper blades anywhere (even on the 'net)

Where do you get brushes? I'm having a hard time deciding what kind of brushes I like - I have Vallejo, Games Workshop, those pink/dark red ones at the den on top of the Citadel paints, and some generic dollarstore brand nylon ones (for really rough and quick work)

I find the hobbyworld ones blunt faster, and are less sharp. Brushes are all about quality. I'm a fine arts major, so I get all my brushes from colours on 2nd ave. i usually get cheaper white bristle synthetic brushes, windsor and newton the best.

I find they're really sharp, and as for dulling... they've dulled as fast as any other blade I've had before.

That would contribute to why your painting is so damn good. Thanks for the advice, I'll look into it.

Well HC, I guess we are gunna hafta agree to disagree on the Knife question, yes/no?
