Thanks everyone! I have the micromark catalog. Didn't see it there. I guess I need to start looking further before asking such questions here :)

Hi,

 

I'd recommend checking craft stores, places that sell sewing supplies/dressmaking/material (whatever those places are called) and especially larger discount shops.  And/or do a Google search for "cutting mat" to buy online.

 

I found exactly the same products as hobby shops sell - from A5 up to A1 size - much cheaper than hobby stores (at least in Australia).  I managed to get an A1 mat for around $30 a year or so ago, and smaller ones are regularly $10 or less.  Seemed exactly the same material and quality (I certainly don't use the lines to measure or line parts up accurately).

 

Regards,
Darren

                                            

Current Projects:

1//72 St Roch by Billings (modified/detailed)

1/48 HMS Sirius cross-section by Modeler's Shipyard (on hold)

1/72 HMS Vanguard cross section based on Victory Models full kit (researching)

 

Projects Awaiting Start:

1/48 HMS Endeavour cross-section (DeAgnosti)

1/72 HMS Victory cross-section (DeAgnosti)

1/24 Armed Longboat & English Pinnace (Model Shipways)

Ahoy Bill :D

 

Hobby Lobby and Michaels carry these. They also both have a coupon for 40% off one item (Google it). Makes for a sweet deal. You just have to use restraint and buy only one thing. It ain't easy  

 On with the Show.... B)

Bill, Tower Hobbies carries various sizes of the green graph mats, I think their 9x12 is only 6 bucks or so, I think they are the hobbico line
