Answer 1

Joe,

Might I suggest
that you investigate companies
that make Vacu-formed signs,
such as those found on some business.

They use rather huge sheets of the stuff.

Also..., try an Art Store,
if you have a 'Professional' one?

If you don't mind ordering out...,
try this link to Slater's Plastikard, in the UK.

Answer 2

Zoe T had sound ideas... Though a clue as to your location would help us pin it down for you.

Here in California, there is a location called "TAP Plastics" that sells the FULL range of Acrylics, Styrene, ABS, Resins, etc.

I buy white styrene 3mm thick in 2 x 8 ft sheets for railroad backdrops and other uses.

GOOD LUCK !!
