Are you looking for perspex?

If anyone saw my Tidus sword for the short amount of time that I was at Wellygeddon you would have noticed it was see through plastic-this is perspex & it is awesome! So I thought I'd share with you guys where I got mine incase anyone was making something similar.

(It can come in solid colours too, & can be a good replacement for wood sometimes as it's lighter. & they cut to the exact size you want! Fantastic.)

I bought mine via trademe, so check it out if that's easier for you.

I'll post pictures up of my Tidus sword soon so you guys can see what I'm talking about.

Hope this helps! Are you looking for perspex? Icon_biggrin

Also, even their business card is made from see through plastic. How cool is that?!

Ooh I've heard of people making props using perspex, and I might get Lucifer's stake made out of it. Thanks!

I looove perspex. x3

I used it to make my Kamina glasses and my Rebellion for Dante.

I wholeheartedly recommend that more people use it for propwork-- if you've got powertools, then it's quick and easy to work with, and looks kickaaass~
