- [.080" STYRENE — 3 SHEETS, 8x10 INCH] .080" (2mm) is heavy stock. Bases, mounting plates and load-bearing parts, plus jigs and alignment blocks that need to stay square through repeated use. Score-and-snap still works but takes more passes.
- [WHAT MODELERS BUILD WITH IT] Model railroading, architectural models, military and naval models, wargame terrain, dioramas and display bases. Sheet styrene is the scratch-builder's default material: walls, roofs, decking, hull plating, signage, shims and jigs all start as a flat sheet. Also the standard stock for kitbashing, where a plain sheet fills the gap two kits leave behind.
- [SCORE AND SNAP, DON'T CUT THROUGH] Draw a fresh blade along a steel rule two or three times to cut a groove, then flex the sheet and it breaks clean along the line. Trying to cut all the way through wanders and tears. Thin gauges take scissors for rough shapes. The same technique scribes planking, siding and panel lines straight into the surface.
- [WELDS WITH SOLVENT CEMENT, TAKES ANY PAINT] Polystyrene solvent cement softens both faces and fuses them into one piece, which is stronger than any glue joint — capillary cements wick straight into a seam. Superglue and epoxy work too. The matte white surface takes acrylics, enamels and rattle-can primer directly, with no sanding or sealing first.
- [PROUDLY DOMESTIC QUALITY] LITKO proudly designs, manufactures, packages, and supports all our products in the USA. We utilize raw materials from both domestic and international sources, sourced from trusted suppliers, to ensure a superior hobby experience over mass-produced imports.

Select a product to estimate shipping.Sheet styrene is the material scratch-builders reach for first. It cuts with a knife, welds to itself with solvent cement, takes paint without preparation and costs almost nothing per square inch — which is why a plain white sheet has been the backbone of model railroading, architectural modeling and military modeling for sixty years.
The only real decision is thickness. Thin sheet bends around curves and skins shapes you have already built. Mid-range sheet holds a straight edge and stands up as a wall. Thick sheet stops flexing entirely and becomes a base, a jig or a chassis. Most builds want two or three gauges rather than one, which is why we sell the range and a variety pack.
Cut it by scoring rather than sawing. Two or three passes with a fresh blade against a steel rule, then flex the sheet and it snaps clean along the groove. The same stroke, repeated in a pattern, scribes planking and panel lines straight into the surface.
Polystyrene solvent cement is what makes styrene different from every other sheet material. It softens both faces and fuses them, so the join becomes part of the plastic instead of sitting between two pieces. Superglue and epoxy work if that is what is on the bench.
