More Clear Fin Material

I stopped by Hobby Lobby to buy some A10-3t engines with a 40% off coupon.

In the frame shop, I asked about clear plastic. The employee showed me what they had. It was 1/16" thick, about the same I bought at WalMart a few days ago.
The then walked me over to the "glass etching' section of the store, a place I wouldn't have ever looked.

I found these 8" X 10" clear sheets for $.99!
It looks to be around .035" thick, about the same thickness as I used to get from Estes.
This sheet has more flex than the picture frame plastic.

I thought it looked pretty scratched up, then I realized there was a thin protective sheet covering on both sides of the plastic.

This is the stuff, perfect for LPR scale modeling.
