What plastic to go for


Recommended Posts

Hi<br>

I have another question regarding my recent order from RS Propmasters<br>

I had a choice of 2 plastics, ABS or PVC because even though I would of preferred ABS because of it being the same as the original armour I opted for PVC because it's a bit more durable and was concerned that ABS might yellow over time. <br>

I would like to join the 501st in the future but I'm not sure what the policies are on the types of plastics. I did check the guide on the 501st site and it didn't mention anyhING about plastic type so I assume it doesn't matter if my armour is ABS or PVC<br>

Any advise or tips would be appreciated, thanks :)

Hi there!

The information you need is in the Costume Reference Library on 501st.com

 

http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_stunt

 

"The armor parts shall be made from one of these types of materials or like materials: White fiberglass, ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene), or Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)."
