Runnriottt Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 I see... Hmm... Stronger than standard fiberglass, but not as flexable as ABS. Thats what I got from the article. Rigid, but high tensile (bending) strength. Wonder how that would Troop. Any one have any made into armor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebladejedi[TK] Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 The first set of vader shins i had were made from grp, they are a little heavier but certainly not flexible.. They cut into my feet when walking up stairs. The lightweight abs pair i have are not only more accurate but way better to wear. As for trooper armour, there is a guy here in the uk selling grp armour parts, looks like fx style. I would personally stick to wearing the abs tk stuff, i think that grp is going to pinch really bad and i think sitting down will be a big no-no come to think of it i think anything apart from a static display would be a no-no..... Maybe someone here has tried the grp trooper armour and can enlighten us even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
