Trooper Zero Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I Know good and well that I will use ABS but I have no idea were to find this material and not too much of a clue on the proper shapes the armor should exactly be or look like. Can any help out, or am I just missing it without paying attion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Use it for what? Are you trying to pull your own armor? It seems that you can find ABS suppliers simply by googling "ABS plastic sheet". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 brian... if you look he's under 18... and this is his first post. didn't that tell ya a little somthin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I didn't bother checking his profile, but I did notice the post count. And I still wonder what he wants to do with raw plastic. Tanner, it would help to post an introduction in the New Member Introductions section and provide a bit of info about yourself and what you're looking to accomplish.

Trooper Zero Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Sorry guys for not giveing an introduction im going to do that now but, I wanted a ABS plastic sheet to make my own molds to save some money (don't have a job yet, and don't have much money).

tkrestonva[TK] Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Sculpting and pulling your own armor requires a considerable investment in time, skill, and money. For what you'll spend for a proper setup, you can get a top-of-the-line kit for a fraction of the cost. I realize you're on a teenager's budget, but there are kits available here for a wide range of budgets. Spending some time(actually, a lot of time) reading the threads here will help to find something reasonably affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to find a troopermaster kit for someone of my size but I have not yet been able to get a idea of the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 go abs buy a TM kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 If there is and image error I apolagize. I am about 6'4 and just over 242 ibs. My goal weight is 210ibs and once my leg heals I will do hikes with light to heavy packs, do a 2-5 mile run 3-4 times a week and work on my diet ( I will be abil to do this sence school for me is out the 25th). At your size and assuming you have a typical teenager's budget, I'd seriously go with either an AM or an RT-Mod kit. It may take you working a summer job to swing it, but that's a lot less time than it would take to be able to pay for a TM, and you're much more likely to be able to make either one fit. And yes, both AM and RT Mod are made of ABS. Both are also relatively easy to assemble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Zero Posted May 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I must say that I am not realy on a teenage budget, I just like to save my money, but I also want what is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-7980 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 RT-Mod would be better than AM. Just save the little bit extra. But if you want to go all out, go TM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Zero Posted May 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 yeah, my original plan was TM at the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
