Ellipse guides

Could someone recommend me an ellipse guide that I could source in the UK? I purchased one from amazon but it looks like the max size is 25mm which seems too small to be of any use. Thanks :)

I bought these from Amazon UK, although they do come from abroad so take long to arrive.
Haven't got to the lesson needing them yet though.

Thanks for the help! I might be wrong but all 5 of these look the same in the picture, did you get different degrees for each template when they arrived?
LOL. I haven't used them yet as I haven't got that far so I took a look and you are absolutely right!
I spent ages looking for what I thought would be a good set ( cause the good sets are really, really expensive ) and these were relatively cheap.. I just assumed these were 5 different templates.
Well, god knows what I am going to do with them now. I can't afford a better set. Maybe I need to mix and match some cheaper ones.
I'm in the same situation, I bought what I thought was a good set off amazon and they turned out to be tiny lol.
Think I might just have to try free handing at this point as I've just reached the wheel challenge!
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
