Just a thought
I was wondering since plastic is up there in prices, could you possibly cut open a big huge soda carton heat it up and vacum form it in to armor? All you have to do then is paint it. I don't know, just one of my crazy ideas, wanted to see what you all had to say. Peace out we are getting some heavy weather over here.

I never thought of trash cans. Now are they using the metal ones or the plastic ones? I heard both work fine. What I am trying to figure out is how hot they get they get the oven to melt/soften the plastic ones. Cause the plastic on those things are pretty tuff. I think I might need a tutorial on how to do that lol.judge_hellfast wrote:Actually, some of the mando builders use trash cans to build some of their armor. Surprisingling enough, it works great!!

Do they have a tutorial on how to make trash can armor? I haven't seen any Mando armor before. When I type it into the google thing it comes up with Star Wars chat sites about video games they play. :?Dr. No wrote:Yeah with the trash can armor it usually already at the right curve for the armor but if any modding is needed you can do it with a heat gun, hairdryer, or a boiling pot of water.

yeah on the dentedhelmet I think WizardofFlight has helmet and armor templates on there somewhere. and for the bucket scratch built ones are normaly a mixture of sintra, bondo, and styrene. I'm shure a trash can could take the place of some of the styrene and sintra but I haven't personaly seen one. just search around there and if you can't find it ask about it
