If you live by any hobby shop, they should have it or be able to get it. Check the Evergreen rack, the Plastustruct rack, the Squadron rack ... they have some or all of these at most Hobby Lobby and Hobbytown stores. Look by the railroad stuff if they don't have it by the scale models. You can also buy LARGE (4x8 feet) sheets from plastic fabricating companies (check the Yellow Pages and ask around before you go out knocking on their doors).
Hope this helps.
