Cover strips?

[Parquette[TK]]

So I need to recreate the cover strips for the R1TK from scratch, and the edges needed to be beveled. To achieve this effect, I need thick plastic. Anyone know where I can grab a product that's made out of thick plastic at a hardware store (Ace, Menards, Hobby Lobby, etc...)? I know how to achieve the bevel, it just needs to be thick plastic.

Do you have a thickness in mind?

 

I looked for scale model supplies. They usually have sheets of polystyrene, but it's usually thin.

This was the thickest I saw from this place. These sheets are only 12" and may not be long enough though.

Reese, I am sorry I have not seen this before now and I assume you have already solved this but if not. Most Mandalorians use Sintra to make armor. It is a PVC foam board that can be cut, sanded, glued, painted, and even heated with a heat gun and shaped. It comes in sheets of various thickness 3mm, 6mm, etc... The great news is that Sintra goes by a ton of different names and you can find it at most Home Depots in the siding section.

I would think this would work nicely for the cover strips that need to be beveled.
