Cosplay suppliers directory.

This would be supper helpful. Do you know where to get all those hard to find things like foams, plastic sheeting, casting resins, synthetic furs, cheap wigs, special fabrics etc etc

I cant say i know much my self, but i will contribute the little that i know.

If you need aluminium sheeting, Mitre 10 Mega sells oven baking trays that are perfect (about $17). They are thick enough to be strong, but are still easy to cut with regular tin snips.
Also if you want really nice fine brushes without spending a fortune at Gordon Harris, spotlight sells nice synthetic watercolour ones at half the price. They stand up to oil paint & turpentine fine.

I will be updating this into a coherent list as suggestions come though.

Cheers

Morning, there's also a few supply threads already in the regional areas.

That's what i was looking for. I probably didn't use the right words or spelling in the search.

A general one would be cool too though, like for online stuff especially? Is there one for that? I think the area one is actual shops, whereas a lot of us get a lot of supplies online Razz

I get all my wigs online, for example Razz

The shop ones in town are just quite horrible, and I can get wigs 10x the quality for the same price online Razz

I'm not sure of what else I've bought online though ... Shoes and contact lenses and fake fangs.
