Alright. so i am thinking about making some Iron man/War machine armor from styrene. I know that there are a few different methods, one being vacuum forming, another being layering, and a few others.

I was wondering if it is possible to follow a pep file with styrene? Not make a paper pep, just make it in styrene?
Also, does anyone have any suggestions of which method is better?
Is it more hassle than its worth?
 
I'f your going to do pep files your better off to make them in paper and then fiberglass them.
As for the vacuum forming you should probably buy some ABS plastic sheets.
 
HIPS ( Hi impact polistyren) is good to thermoforming. Precisely the forms and it is whiter and less expensive then ABS.
