I have made 1 sword from styrene....not bad for a first attempt,unfortunately it's packed in a box somewhere......

There are a lot of things you can make by laminating and shaping sheet styrene,boxes,crates,maybe even bunkers and stuff!

Look around on the web,modeler's sites,1/6th scale modeler's-you'll get a lot of inspiration!

I forgot to mention difficulty.Like anything,it's hard at first but you'll get the hang of it quickly.

On plasticard,you can draw what you want with a pencil right on the plastic.Get a good steel ruler/straightedge for measuring and cutting,and you'll be on your way!
