Brass or copper sheet?

[Scott[_1_]]

For one of my different hobbies...does anybody have a good source for
brass or copper sheet? I'm thinking something around 0.025" or 0.032"
and two pieces that are about 30" X 30" or so each. Would I need to
take out a second mortgage to obtain pieces like that?

They don't list sheets larger than 2' x 2' but may sell them upon
request.

First place I'd try for copper is a roofer; they use it for flashing.
I'm not sure about the thickness.

Try a hobby shop at the mall. I just bought some .025 brass to make
ground blocks.

Typically, roofing copper is 0.0216" thick (also known as 16 ounce
copper, as it weighs one pound per square foot)
