    1/16" aircraft ply is available at most hobby shops and some craft stores like Michaels or Hobby Lobby. The 1/8" material will not look very nice, it's better to go thinner than thicker.

    I use the 1/8" thick ABS for the sidewalls and top of the 01 level of SS, just for the impact strength. 1/8" ABS sheet will take most anything you shoot at it in the hobby.

    Ok, I know i haven't posted anything in a while, new job caused my schedule to get messed up, and then the move to Savannah messed it up more, and then the start of a NEW schedule for work, messed up even more, and then starting school soon is causing even more of a mess up. The messed up schedule and the lack of funds in the treasuary has also delayed the construction. Hopefully the construction is get back on track soon.
