I wanted to create a sticky worthy informative thread to help those making there own helmets, armor, and even make up effects have access to a easy to use directory of suppliers. The way I want this thread to work is if you have a supplier not listed Post It! and give a review and maybe a pic of two of it in use or an example of what you were able to create with it. I will then add it to the master list on the top post.
This thread is meant to be a master list of informative links and not a question and debate on the products or suppliers so if you have a question about any of them shoot me a PM or better yet contact the supplier as they all have customer service that can help you find what you need for your project.
I hope this information will help those on this board who are aspiring prop makers create new and wonderful things.
Special thanks go to members of this board who turned me on to a number of these I use currently, members of the RPF who have helped me, and members of The Effects Lab that allready found a great deal of these as well and though of the idea long before I did of having a sticky directory of vendors like this.
