[@lanedouglas6690]

Gotta start bending with a plastic hammer and anvil lmao. I suppose crafting a signet out of the same plastic isn't too far from the realm of possibility. Great vid brother. THIS IS THE WAY

[@StoneFistedProps]

Yes Signets can be made from sintra in the early stages of making the armor. Also might I suggest another method, sort of a combination. By using g (depending on your location) some sort of Mixable Resin putty that Hardens like Green stuff, lilliput or epoxy sculpt. To make you're signet, I would Cutout the base from Sintra then Sculpt my signet on top to give it a more 3 dimensional look. I'm waiting on some epoxy sculpt and will be doing a small tutorial for the next set of videos. So stay tuned

[@lanedouglas6690]

@@StoneFistedProps Awesome I can't wait to check that out. I was thinking that a guy could take a chunk of sintra and taking some different tools to it, and sand it like you did on the edges. Then glue the finished signet to a shoulder piece. I am at the very beginning of learning how to do all this stuff, but I think I want to build a heavy infantry type of mando gear. I'm strongly considering using this method of building the parts that kinda pay tribute to the old mounted knights but is still Mandalorian. I'll have to be creative with the design but it seems like a fun challenge.

[@StoneFistedProps]

@@lanedouglas6690 yup You could definately sand and sculpt Sintra

Hey great video, do you find that the 3mm thick Sinatra thick enough for this build, many thanks. 👍

[@StoneFistedProps]

I Have always used 3mm for my Personal Builds But some I have worked on and seen Benifit from 6mm, However it is A Bit Harder to work with. But it is Far more Durable then 3mm. I Have Recently switch to 3D Ptinted Atmor, and Hope to be able to Record some New Content this year as I'm in a New space that's a Bit more limited to Build in.

[@jemmymonroe5835]

Loved this video! Definitely going g to use your technique. I do have a question, what would you recommend for the helmet?

[@dominusanuli3595]

If I make a base template and use my own measuring, could I make stormtrooper armor? And after that, could I make a part where it connects to make an assault spacetrooper suit?

[@StoneFistedProps]

This all depends on your Measuring and template skills, storm trooper armor has a lot of smooth complex shapes. which is why they chose to go the original route and vacuum form the parts. however with enough patience and ingenuity i'm sure you could make something amazing.

[@Sithlady-66]

Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤

[@j.saldana7501]

What do people normally use to stick the armor onto the suit beneath?

[@StoneFistedProps]

There are many attachment methods However the Most popular being A Mix of Industrial sticky a d sew on Velcro. Fuzzy side Sew on Goes on You're soft Armor parts like Vest a d Flight suit, a d the Stick Loop Harder side goes on you're Armor parts.

[@NewYears1978]

What's the diff in Sintra and EVA foam?

[@robertwilliams1095]

Let me ask you this question can you use heavy plastics if you do not have Sintra, I have a huge amount of heavy plastic I have collected up everything from thick plastic used for lawnmowers to heavy tote plastic to light tote plastics?

[@StoneFistedProps]

The Problem with The heavier tote plastics is they Are Manufactured with a Process that Makes them retain there molded shape. My Very first armor was made from Garbage Can plastic. However It was super Hard for me to retain a shape, so I abandoned it for Sintra. That being Said Test a 2x2 piece And Heat it See if you can work it to a Shape, If it retains the new shape after cooling then your Good to go. Keep Me Posted on your Progress and If love to see what You come up with. Also feel free to ask any questions you need.

[@robertwilliams1095]

@@StoneFistedProps I have a way of heating the heavier lawnmower plastics I really just hate to see material go to waste if I see someone is throwing out plastic or something I might be able to use late I pic it up. I am planning on joining the Mandalorian Mercs and have started with a few props already. I was just wondering if you think some of this plastic will hold up. it is about 1/16 inch thick .

[@daxxaa238]

Great vid love your genuine helping attitude. Question what is the thickness of your Sintra ? Looks like 3 mm but not sure, I’m confused about what size to use.

[@StoneFistedProps]

Thank you for the Kind words. And yes I was using 3mm

[@TheDthatcher]

What’s your advice for someone whose making their first set

[@StoneFistedProps]

It goes without saying Research into what your final design will be, next important step is getting the correct size templates for your body shape and size is crucial. Paper is cheaper then plastic so skipping this step will cost you later if you don't properly size your Armor templates. Also joining the Mandalorianmercs.org forums can be an invaluable tool in seeing the thousands of available options taht may spark your creativity. And of course watching all my Videos lol and subscribing and hitting that notify bell would be another great start. :-)

[@millsa.6915]

Does this work for acrylic plexiglass too? I don't have sintra but I do have plexiglass

[@StoneFistedProps]

Depending on the Thickness It could work However with plexi, you have to be extremely careful as its Prone to Cracking and shattering very easy. I personally wouldnt use Plexiglass to make Mando armor.

[@stpdfw]

Great tutorial, thank you for this! There is a large list of templates at the MM site, do you remember which one you used here?

[@wisteria_40k67]

How big are is that sheet of sintra you are using? I'm looking for them but I can't find em.

[@StoneFistedProps]

Thank for viewing. I purchase my sheets a A Local Plastics manufacture Near me in NJ, at four Feet by 8 Foot sheets of 3mm. For Ruffly $30 US. You can Purchase sintra Via Amazon (I should have a Link in the description) as well I know many who do I believe they sell them in 24x24" sheets and the Prices Varry. I Have also heard that Home Depot here in the US also carries Sintra, I beleive they Have it as PVC sheets listed but you would have to check. Also you can check any local sign shops, They use it for signage, and may have sheets of scrap large enough for you that they would most likely throw away. They could either sell it to you cheap, or may just give you some if you explai. What you are using it for.

[@elnathanfewell3975]

Is sintra easier to cut than kydex? Can you just use a sharp box cutter to cut sintra? Is it cheaper?

[@StoneFistedProps]

Yes Sintra is very easy to cut with a Sharp Box Cutter, you will find at 6mm. It's alot harder and may need a dremel. Just always be aware and practice saftey

[@StoneFistedProps]

Worbla would need to be backed and wrapped around Eva, and You would have to work a bir harder to get a smooth Finnish as the Worbla has a noticeable texture to it. but once it hardens you'll have the same strength. More steps involved for Worbla but can be used.

Sintra isn't a thermoplastic, its expanded PVC. Worbla is a thermoplastic and they are both brandnames.

How thick should the sintra be??

[@StoneFistedProps]

Sintra can be anywhere from 3mm (What I use) to 6mm or thicker. Just remember the thicker you Go Tbe Harder it is to Cut and maintain clean lines. What I always suggest to people is To Layer 3mm sheets and pieces to Build up Thickness and dimension were you Need it.

Yes 3MM

[@zachriedl3945]

Where should I buy the sintra

[@StoneFistedProps]

That All depends on where in the world you live. My Suggestions are as Follow. 1st check you're local Sign shops, sometimes you can score free Sintra That to them are Scraps But Would be large enough for you to Build with. Another option is Amazon.com however the sheets will Be Cut Down to More Mailable sizes so You Would have to Piec two together to Do say a Back Plate. But you can Have it shipped to you. I Get mine locally from A Supplier/Manufacturer that I buy 4foot by 8 foot sheets from for roughly $30 a Sheet. I acan Make Two to three Armor sets Minus Helmet and Gaunts from one single sheet.

Each Template Has a Ruler Key Marking You have to size them Up Or down by percentage Also Uncheck scale to Fit. If you're Printer supports poster printing use that as well. Also Checkbthe box that says Crop Mark's. All Printer manufacturers are different and without seeing what you Have that's the Best advice I can Give. I will see if I can do a Quick tutorial this weekend on Scaling and Sizing

[@freefallcustoms175]

Hey Nedd I may have told you at the armor party my modern templates were too small (they were the 5ft templates)so they recommended legacy. But I think I really want to do a modern kit. Did you use the templates 6ft plus from MMCC or did you draw your own?

[@StoneFistedProps]

+FreeFall Customs when I downloaded Mine They had small med and Large and xL . The Ones I used in the Video ar XL from wizard of Flight. If Youd Like I can Maybe Make a Video On Sizing of Plates Next. As a Supplemental

[@freefallcustoms175]

Nedd Jacobs that would be awesome. I would really appreciate it. Just whenever you get to it. I don't know if they have the templates up on the site sized like that anymore but I'll double check. -Don

[@GeorgiaHistory]

Instead of Sintra I used the clearance plastic storage containers. They're like $6 and you can make an entire Mando armor out of one!

[@StoneFistedProps]

That's Awesome, whatever works And is available Is the Key. Just Make sure you Prep the Plastic by sanding to Givebthe Paint "Tooth" to Grab

[@TheArtisticCat]

Hey josh, how did it turn out?

[@christopherdrekr1078]

That's boba fetts heat gun isn't it. He's father Jango used it originally to make his Sinatra armour.

[@StoneFistedProps]

Lol, Wow, Finding all the Easter eggs aren't ya. Lol I love that theory though

[@christopherdrekr1078]

Just having fun it's probably one that just looks like his I'm not really thinking it's the same one ☝️. ;) Excellent work my friend MTFBWY !

[@whippedsprinklesag9187]

would this work with palight pvc board?

[@StoneFistedProps]

Im not Familiar with that Material but if it is. rigid and Heat shapable, and can hold it's shape once cooled it should work fine.

[@whippedsprinklesag9187]

Stone Fisted Props thanks i’m actually doing this tutorial right now lol

[@StoneFistedProps]

@@whippedsprinklesag9187 awesome Would love to see the results

[@whippedsprinklesag9187]

Stone Fisted Props Yeah! was your sintra toxic cause mine is

[@StoneFistedProps]

@@whippedsprinklesag9187 all Hermoplastics Release Fumes So work in a Well Ventilated area, And dont Burn the Sintra... If it's turning Brown Ten Youre too close with the heat gun. It dosntbtaake much to Make it Pliable.

[@TheAserak]

How thick is your Sintra?

[@StoneFistedProps]

I preferably stick with 3mm and 4mm Sintra. in these videos i was using 3mm

[@TheAserak]

@@StoneFistedProps Cool, thanks. I am actually trying to make some Sith armor, but using your techniques as an example

[@andrewshute9761]

Excellent video.

[@StoneFistedProps]

+Andrew Shute thank You

[@quemeese]

by the way, the volume is very low on this

[@StoneFistedProps]

Thank you I have been told, Nothing really I can do about it Really. Didn't realize at the Time of Making it.

[@kuraitenshiv]

Are you using 3mm or 6mm Sintra?

[@StoneFistedProps]

3mm

[@StoneFistedProps]

+kuraitenshiv 3mm

[@willrickerman5392]

Check out the mandalorian brotherhood group on Facebook. Great group. I really recommend them.

Thank you I'll have a look

[@Zertibon]

How come EVA foam isn't used all that much in the SW community? Is it because it isn't as sturdy and resilient?

[@StoneFistedProps]

+Sam Chung there Are several Factors for this Let me see if I can Break it down a Bit for you. You See While Eva Is a Wonderfull,versatile Material its Not Used by the Actual main Starwars Groups Because 1. It's not Durable enough to Withstand the Thousands Of Hours The costumes are used for Charities and events. 2. While there are Many Proficiently Skilled Crafters Out there The Material Requires more work Then normal to achieve the Look that Is Mandatory for the Major Groups in there Guidelines. That's Not to say as a Fan you couldn't make your Kit completely from Eva and Cosplay the heck out of it. It's just not a Material that's allowed In the rules and Guidelines of the Major SW Clubs. I Hope that answered your question, and if you Do Make your Sw costume No matter what material I would love to see it.

[@jx592]

Well it's foam, it's flexible. But it's not super accurate . It can be cured in poly urethaine, but you might as well cure the PVC with poly urethaine and get a sturdy object, ideally you'd want to use sheet aluminum.

[@SchmidtTactical]

What stores sell sintra?

[@StoneFistedProps]

You can Check for Local Sign Shops, Local Plastic Suppliers Also Amazon

[@SchmidtTactical]

@@StoneFistedProps Would a place like Hobby lobby sell Sentra?

[@StoneFistedProps]

@@SchmidtTactical Not that I'm aware of, If they do Maybe to thin to use for armor making. As They sell Thinner Material Used in Model Making.

[@StoneFistedProps]

@@SchmidtTactical do a Google search for Expanded Cell Polystyrene (Sintra) and see what is local to you. I Purchase Mine Here in Northern New Jersey From a Supplier called Acme plastics. They are the Main Distributor in the area to all the Manufacturers and such.

[@SchmidtTactical]

@@StoneFistedProps Ok thanks. What is the ideal thickness to use?

[@kitcheru]

where do you get the templates

[@StoneFistedProps]

Hello Cade-6, thanks for Viewing. The Templates are all available for free over on the HTTP://www.Mandalorianmercs.org forums.

[@joshvinson7664]

Am I the only one who wants to cosplay as a Mandalorian with the black saber?

[@StoneFistedProps]

+Josh Vinson nope your not the Only One, However for MMCC membership according to Our CRL's only Approved Canon Mandalorians whom Have Weilded the Darksaber Can Do So.

[@TheArtisticCat]

will 6mm work

[@StoneFistedProps]

Yes, It will just be a Little Harder to cut. But Many Mandos use 6mm instead of 3mm

[@TheArtisticCat]

Stone Fisted Props can you do a video on leg and shoulder armor?

[@StoneFistedProps]

@@TheArtisticCat I Have just added you're request to my upcoming Video Cue. I will see if I can get one made in the next few weeks. As this has been requested alot

Only gripe is audio too quiet!

How thick should the Sinatra sheet be?

[@StoneFistedProps]

I use 3mm and sometimes 6mm. But My armor is predominantly 3mm

[@pauldegen3525]

What thickness of Sinatra was used?

[@CowboyKenFL]

Wow! 3yrs and no answer. It appears to be 3mm, by the ease to cut and heat shape. I'm working on my MMCC approved armor and looking for ideas, tips, things I haven't seen, etc.
