To clarify real quick, Sintra isn't styrene. Sintra is PVC. Beautiful job on that bucket so far. What did you use for the dome? Or did you scratch build that from the WoF plans too. Keep up the progress pics.
Great job Thomas, thank you !I´ve found it! Look at "t-visor.com"
Thank you telling eighteendelta ! And I always thought Sintra is styrene, honestly I never heard the word Sintra before . Is it a another brand?
The dome is also scratch build and of cause with the help of the WoF templates. His work is so great ! I build the dome out of thick paper and laminated it from inside. More will come later

Been working with these templates in paper for the moment and I notced that a some peoples upper cheek pieces have a definate fold running diagonally at about 45 degrees from the top corner to the middle whilst some don't. Is there any reason for this? Is there supposed to be a fold?
Eighteen the link you posted is for a product usually known in the UK as "foamex" It is basically two thin sheets of glossy card sandwitching a layer of high density polystyrene foam. It's hell to work with and doesen't bend easily. The site you posted had this however - http://www.signwholesale.co.uk/acatalog/Foam_Pvc_3mm.html
This sound like the right stuff.
Yes I know this stuff, in Germany we have "Forex" that is also foamed sign PVC. Sounds almost equal to UK's "foamex"I don't know any suppliers in Germany or I would include those. I hope that helps.
Yeah, I had the some problem here before, maybe a little bug in the forum system?Somehow the URL and the hyperlink didn't match, my mistake, strange....

Hey Rob,
what did you take for the dome?
Yet another skater helmet?
