I'm the same mate. My local Model Shop, fortunately, is only about 3/4 mile away ( a rather long and painful walk for me these days). but, although she (yep, it's owned by a woman) stocks basic plastic sheet and strip, she has to order in the other items of Evergreen, which is fine. But, trying to figure out the sizes without actually seeing them can be a bit tricky sometimes, especially if you order a pack of 'X' strips and find you really needed the next size up, or down. Not a problem, as Iris will exchange it, but the extra delay can be a pain, as there's only a delivery once a week, and that's if the order is placed on the right day the week before !
