What would you suggest????--(wanting to make my own armor)
First off, sorry if this has been posted somewhere else. I did a search and saw a few posts on board members speaking about the materials they use when making their own armor but never a compare and contrast in different materials.
I think I've about decided to try and make the majority of the armor myself and have been trying to figure out what I should use. I have the patterns and all bookmarked from sites that have templates for the pieces but materialwise I'm not sure which route to go.
I've seen a few posts on sintra and how that is easy to work with. I've also seen quite a few here say that's what they're using or did use. The Ultimate Boba Fett site also suggests sintra. I'm thinking that might be the route to go but what about sheet metal? I know I've seen a few mention using this as well. Just wondering what some of your thoughts were
