So setting out to find a different material for cheap scratch built armor i found this peice of pvc in my garage. I looked at lowes and for pvc around this size it costs about $6 for 8 ft.
The pipe is about 4" in diameter and i used about 5 ft for the main armor (breastplates, collar, shoulderbells, kidney/butt plate.)
I traced on Alans templates, heated hp.the pipe with my crappy heat gun, and cut the parts out easily with tin snips.
Then i heated up the pieces until they were as flimsy as a wet noodle, and layed heavy books ontop and sat on them until they were completely flat (makes the forming process easier than just Then i heated them up again and formed them.
To make the dents i heated up the spot where the dent would be, then presses a sharpie cap into the area to make a dent. This is what they look like after primer:
Then i did the ESB paint process and this is the finished armor:
Best wishes,
Alex
