Hi, i spoke to my teacher and he said i could do the project at school they use 1mm HIPS plastic, It broke when i shot a tested piece. Im am planning on doing test's with that and then making the final thing in 1.5mm ABS plastic. About the clay, im planning on useing terracotta air drying clay. does it have to be hardenrd to be vacuum formed????????? thanks sam

Thanks Acrylikhan, it is the same as the shock trooper, so it might be phase II.

Hi TB-1019, Thanks for the advice on the airsoft. I am not a very keen airsofter, I go once or twice a year. so it wouldn't go throught alot of punishment. What thickness of ABS plastic do you recommend for 50% detail 50% Armour? Sam

What, a sort of super quick air drying clay? Also I just noticed something, Commander Gree's and the Shock Troopers armour is exactly the same, just in a different colour scheme, is it the phase II clone armour? (I mention this because I will make Commander Gree's armour after I have made my Kashyyk scout armour) Sam P.S. is it aright to post about Commander Gree, seeing as he isn't a Kashyyk Scout?

Acrylikhan Thanks for the Help. I can't ask my teacher at the moment because we are on half term . I think I will use 0.100 ABS to give me more protection from the snipers. On the help with the vacuum table. I might make the Gree Commander armour and helmet after this project so I would have to make my own vacuum table, also my teacher may say no to this whole project . So then I would make it at home. A questions: What is bondo? MrBungle Yes this is going to be a one off product, would air drying terra cotta clay be O.K. to use? sam

Hi, thanks Acrylikhan, I'm not to shore on what type of plastic the school uses but it is very thin. I am planing on useing this for first models and then make the real thing out of ABS Plastic. I don't know what type of ABS to use so any help would be welcome thanks sam

hi, thanks for the help, tk 7261 how would you make the helmet? my plan was to vacuum forming the separate parts and then super glue them together. I am planing to use this armour as Air soft armour, and most air soft guns can brake clay, so a clay helmet can not be used. Witness, that web site is amazing! I especially like the part about building your own vacuum former, I never thought of that. (the one at school may be a bit to small.) Thanks for the help sam

Hi, my name is Sam. I wish to make my own Kashyyyk armour. I am completely new at making armour and I haven't got a clue on how to do it. I think this is the method: Make the model of the armour out of clay Vacuum form it Cut it out and paint it. If so could anyone please tell me what type of clay to use? thanks Sam P.S. I am hoping to do this for one for my school projects.
