Plasticard, also known as modeling plastic, is a versatile material widely used in model railroading, slot cars, prototypes, and various craft and scratch-building applications. It is available in smooth sheets, textured sheets, and profiles, and can be easily cut, shaped, and glued, making it a popular choice for modelers and hobbyists. Plasticard can be made from three main types of materials: ABS, Polystyrene plastic, and uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride), each with distinct characteristics. This type of material, compared to ABS and uPVC, is especially easy to cut, scratch, and bend, which allows for precise and detailed designs. It can be glued with cyanoacrylate adhesives and specific glue for plastics compatible with this material, creating very strong bonds. Its smooth surface accepts paint well, providing excellent results for finished models. However, this material may not be as durable as ABS when subjected to high stresses. Styrene plastic is used in fantasy modeling, military modeling, slot cars, as well as in model or scale model building or scratch building processes.
