jsilvius Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I used the forum search feature, but it didn't yield any results. Has someone complied a "supply list" for the things you need to build your helmet & armor? ie, E6000, hole punch, z size elastic, y sized nylon strapping, x size role of sew on Velcro? There seems to be several different sizes of strapping for the biceps, chest/back armor, belt, knees. I would be cool if there was an actual list of supplies needed and recommended tools, like @BikerScout007 said in his video, "if your down to your last dollar, and you're at the hardware store and you're like, should I buy a drill, or should I buy a leather punch, buy the leather punch".

I should have asked, is there one in a format for copy an paste or print off, vs. on the video text overlay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Hi James. There isn't a list per se and I believe that it might be a good idea and I'll discuss that with the armory staff. That being said if you print out the CRL that will give you a majority of the elastic strapping sizes for the armor, cotton webbing, and velcro for your boots and soft goods. We typically recommend a pair of lexan scissors for armor trimming, E6000 or Plastic-weld, Shoo-Goo for your boots, x-actos for boot cuts, zip ties for shoulders and thermal detonator, etc. Seeing that you have a few fantastic suits of armor you most likely already have a majority of the tools you need. Regardless I think your suggestion is a really good one and, as mentioned, I'll bring it up to the armory staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Buddy that's a great question! I'm honestly not aware of one, and I should emphasize -- the Armor Party build video is aimed at newbies that are really getting started in the world of costuming. More seasoned builders or hobbyists have some pro-stuff and would probably scoff at my list. To the extent this helps, here is the text from the video: Dremel Lexan Scissors Drill (with 1/8th bit) Leatherpunch Rivet Gun 1/8 or 3mm rivets 1/8 Rivet washers Heat Gun Hot Glue Gun Sanding blocks Zip ties Zip tie anchors E6000 Sewing machine Elastics: - 2 inch black - 1 inch black - 1/2 inch black - 1 or 1/2 inch white Sticky-back industrial velcro 2 inch nylon strap 1.5 inch white cotton webbing 1.5 inch black parachute buckles Sew-on velcro 1/4 inch Black vinyl tape Gray vinyl sticker paper 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
