Derrick,
Local Hobby Shop here in YQT has blocks about 1 1/2" thick X 12" X 24" or so.
Around $15CAD I think. Of course a hot wire cutter would be needed for thinner sheets.

Lakehead Models

Give 'em a call, you might be surprised.

Cheers,
Tom

I'll have to take Toms' word for it that they have it up there. EPP is pretty much unobtanium locally - or even nationally. There are a few US sources though.

Whereabouts are you, Derrick?

Leading Edge Hobbys here in kingston carries it too. This is very tough rubbery foam that's almost indestructable. Although I can break it. I can break a boxcar.
