sintra shoulder bell help

hey all
almost finished my aluminium boba helmet(will post a few pics soon) and lookin to start on the shoulder bells.i was going to make them from alu but after reading quite a few threads on folk making armour from "sintra" i though i would make them from this.only problem is i'm not to sure exactly what this material is and if its an american name for the material.as im from the uk i take it it may come under another name over here.any help on this would be great.i also tried searching for a template for the shoulder bell but just couldnt find it.if any one could give me help on this that would be great.many thanks paul

Hello,

The Shoulder bell templates are part of the armor templates, here is the link to the thread:

http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f25/updated-printable-armor-templates-various-sizes-7825/

Jango templates are also available.

Sintra is a brand name, it is expanded foam PVC sheet. In the UK it is called Foamex.

sintra, cell tec, expanded closed cell pvc I think is the technical name.

Here in the US, places that make signs are a wonderful source for sintra.

hey there
thanks very much for these answers,this will let me continue with this project.
many thanks again
