I was wondering what your website is can you just post it with spaces in between or something so that we can see what your website is. Please and thank you in advance if you do so.
It is suppose to be on here. rmchriscodotcom I post updates of my work. I have not had time to do any videos. I don't have the camera equipment and I am moving to NYC to further my film career. So my commissions may drop off for a while. But I will try to come up with some way to do a full post on how too's if I ever get settled in. I would put a real link but youtube doesn't allow it due to spam or losing business.
Very Extremely over the top awesome thank you for sharing your knowledge i will eagerly wait for how u put this all together. I will most defiantly hunt down this materiel and play around with it.
This tutorial was AWESOME. Every question I've ever had about sintra and how to work with it, etc was answered. I am going to send more people to this whole tutorial. SOOOO many thanks!!!
I use a dremel tool and carve into it. I've gotten to where i can dremel into the thin stuff as well.. but it will weaken it more. So mostly leave the carving for the thicker. Also when I make props or head pieces, i cut the pattern, heat the shape and then fuse the plastic together with pvc glue and can carve deeper. If you have thin.. you can use fabric paint for a layered and design effect. It hardens and stands up. Hope this helps.
This is a fantastic tutorial. :] I appriciate you taking the time to make and post these for people who plan on using this material-- like me.
Actually, it was because of these videos that I was introduced to Sintra. Thank you for that, as well. I was at a loss of direction prior to watching these. :]
By not cutting out any of the boring stuff you give us a true feel for what to expect and something to reassure ourselves that we are going in the right direction even when things don't turn out perfect like most other videos make it seem.
I have learned a lot and will begin to use this material on my armor project.
We fight full contact with out 1-1/4 rattan core weapons. I'm not sure the material will withstand the impacts but I am willing to try.
Thanks. Im still growing myself on experimenting with new material. It may be awhile before I post anything else since im working my MFA in film directing. I have alot of work on my plate right now. The biggest key to working with the material..any material.. is experimenting in safe in environments. I personally would like to get a mannequin to do this stuff on. It would save me some trouble. Thanks for the tip.
thanks for all the tips, im making an iron man costume right now with sintra
since im a newb, i followed your techniques for a lot of the armor, but i realized you could just make the shape from cardboard and put the sintra on the cardboard, letting gravity form the shape. it works very well
I would like to accommodate, but I am really busy with film projects for school. Im directing someone's thesis and preparing for mine. I will be busy till dec 2009 trying to graduate. Working on my MFA. So alot of work. Thanks for the interest.
I work with 3mm and 6mm. Most of what i make for people from the video is 6mm. I did my forearms in 3mm but it really is sturdier in 6mm and you can carve deeper. Now if your doing something that overlays..like plating.. go with 3mm.
sorry for taking so long i the reply. busy with film projects for school.
Some people at Amtgard use something similiar to this.. But it's something that was prefabed that they cut up and put togther. Mostly pikle barrel. This work is great though, hadn't really thought of this before and depending on the price I think I just might get into it.. I know a ton of people that would buy it aswell.
Hey man, I was just wondering where you got your sintra. Thanks,
Ben

For others from me... if you plan on using this method for this PVC, beware of over-heating.
Sintra not only burns when you over-heat it... it also shrinks significantly.
I was working with some leg armour, and left it in too long on too high of a temperature.
What was once 13 inches, shrunk to 10.
Be careful with that. xD
For teranmx - How didja make the details on the armour? Like, the grooves and designs? I'm stuck on that bit.
^^ Your advice would be much appriciated. <3

Very nice, how you show us the whole process.
By not cutting out any of the boring stuff you give us a true feel for what to expect and something to reassure ourselves that we are going in the right direction even when things don't turn out perfect like most other videos make it seem.

In 300 they have leather straps on the back of their shin guards, and they're made out of hard metal.
It looks cool though. :o

i use 8mm, make some thick bulky plates, looks great, only have to heat it to 200 degrees and then it just molds beautifly onto you.

I just watched the 9 videos, as i like both armours and working with plastics and such...
It was very interesting, and i'm sure i've picked a couple ideas and tips. :)
So thanks a lot for uploading!
