      It seems that food containers are the only real material due to their thickness to use. I search the web for a thickness like them in sheet form but found nothing.
      Foil takeaway containers worked best for me.
      On the bench: Airfix 1/48 Sea King HC4, Revell 1/24 Trabant.
      Coming soon: Airfix 1/72 Phantom FGR2.
      Just finished: Airfix 1/48 Stuka & Airfix 1/72 Sea King HC4.

        If you can’t get those 4D modelshop do both thin pewter and aluminium sheet that would be suitable.

            Yes fully agree there Rick, there is some waste though in the sides.

                  Try the foil from Ritz cracker boxes. It's much thicker than ordinary kitchen foil but thinner than the foil trays from your favourite Chinese takeaway.

                    Very nice indeed. Seen this method many times over over a decade. Old school method.

                      Aluminium Coke tins also work well, but I use a roller type device from a craft shop.

                        I found the aluminium foil baking trays perfect for the job.
