I couldn't imagine anything more flat, smooth or rigid - it really is perfect for our hobby. Im trying to source some in the UK, not much luck.

Based on BobA's link the U.S. supplier can be found at http://www.graphic-al.com/
Unfortunately, you have to inquiry for pricing. :(
Maybe if you contact them, they might be able to ship to the U.K. (expensive I know) or they might know who a U.K. supplier is.

Pricing is not provided, but they do allow for samples. I'm ordering the OR product line to see what it's like. I suspect they will be no larger than 6" squares (optimistically), but that might be enough to play around with! Btw, I don't recommend a bunch of people order samples all at once unless you are truly interested or else the company will eat a bunch of unnecessary shipping costs. Just my opinion though. :cheers:

I spoke with a sales rep at Alcotex. He says their product has a much higher quality finish than the chinese and indian products, which is why it's ~$5 per sq ft. However, he pointed me to some local plastics and sign companies which would sell the cheaper stuff:

I haven't had time to pursue a UK supplier yet, but I will
