That looks like it miiiight do. But might be too thin?

I know Arthur's Emporium and Joe's Emporium sell it but only in A4 sheets. :/

The place balmung is talking about sounds good if you can find one.


Para Rubber looks great. ._.

Para Rubber only sells quite thick sheets I'm pretty sure, thicker than the A4 sheets you can get. I don't know how good thicker sheets would be for armour...

Probably best to look than to take my word for it Razz But I just remember looking at my local one (the one in Wairau Park) and they did have a range of thicknesses, but it didn't go as thin as I had wanted.

On the topic of foam, does anyone know where I can get some insulation foam thingy, that I can use to cut out a weapon from?

If anyone watches Mythbusters, you might know what I'm talking about. :/

Gordin Harris. It's where I got mine for Demyx's sitar.

Also, Tammy, are you looking for the same sort of stuff Abby and I used in our Shinzo armor?

Are you still looking for the foam?
Is it Styrofoam or Polyurethane Foam?
