Does anyone know of 1-2mm resin sheets being sold anywhere?
I got inspired after few goes at reshaping warped resin models with hot water.
If I can get even A3 1mm thick sheet it would be a great aid in my scratch build project.

You can thermoform sheet styrene (widely available) in a similar manner as resin, water needs to be hotter (almost boiling, although with the thin sheet your interested in it may require slightly less heat), then you can slump it over a form. I imagine you could use a heat gun instead of water if you are careful.
