Another armor shot that lets you see the beautiful red metallic color in the bright sunlight.

The material you used for the armor...what is it? It's got beautiful worksmanship, do you these all by yourself or do you send plaster casts to be turned into plastic molds?

This armor is Black ABS it's a high impact polymer blend plastic commonly used for out door pipes and Vending machine cases long lasting weather resistant material, most of the parts I vacuum form the main shapes and go back and trim and reheat and shape other parts and layer other shells sand and polish edges.


Not so much different then metal work other then it's about 10 times lighter and wont crack or dent up under stress and use.

Wow. I need to make a non leathal weapon for my project. Something truly evil like this. Not sure if I'll make it out of leather or make a larping type sword. Anyway, amazing as always.

only problem with lexan is it's damn expensive stuff but in very strong material pound for poun it's way stronger then steel but you can welded it to ABS and styrene plastics so it's great for reinforcement in plastic armor but it's rarely used for anything other then unbreakable windows and the popes bubble car.


Works great for replica weapons you'd like to be very tough.

Isn't lexan transparent and usually tented. Almost looks flourescent around the edges?

lexan is clear and you can get it tented in blackish blue the flourescent materials are probably acrylic you can get that in a lot of tents and colors it's a more common materials easier the cut and clean with laser etching tools.

OK, I was confused. Yeah, I've seen the thick bullet proof glass in convenient stores. Thats probably Lexan. Its very transparent as thick as it is.

it scratchs very easy which I found odd cause it stops high impacts but shows low impasct light scratches you can scuff it with a T-shirt material.

other then that it's nice an translucent material
