where is the best place to get some budget fett/mando armour it's for a custom costume I'm thinking about so can be cheap scrap seconds anything going really as it's going to get chopped and changed so don't really want to spend big bucks for it to be cut up or thrown away if it doesn't work out I'm based in UK, and have seen some on evilbay for around £100 but I'm hesitant to use eBay as I don't know where the armour is from, recast etc, any pointers would be a big help, cheers
 
Just buy some sintra and cut out the armor using the templates here on this site. Sintra is a brand name for pvc plastic sheets. It is easy to work with, cut and shape. Buy some 6mm sheets, it will be way less money.
 
Is Sintra a brand name? in the UK ''Sintra'' seems to be hard to find and a lot of people try sell that stuff but it turns out to be foam board... I to would like to know where to get Sintra like PVC sheets.
 
Iv bought some board let's see what it's like when it comes it says it's pvc foam board but reading above I'm not so sure, now to go find the armour plans
 
Keep us updated on what actualy turns up, seems a lot of sellers keep advertising wrong and its always that foam stuff. Also I hear some PVC board shrinks like crazy when you heat it up?
