    Jun 11, 2012 - SINTRA - Aussie equivalent! #1

    Hey guys,

    New to the RPF ( still working on profile ), and some what new to prop building. I will have some posts up of current builds of mine in the near future!

    My question to the ether is where can I find a SINTRA equivalent in Australia, specifically Brisbane? Ive searched the internet and have some leads but any info would be grand.

    riot sells something like Sintra, but i'm in west aussie so i don't know whether you guys have Riot art and craft over on your side... they call it "Closed cell PVC foamboard" if that helps...

    Try foamex! You will find that signwriters and graphic companies will have it.

    The easiest place to ever search is the sign shops, a lot of them will have scrap material they will either give you free or for a very cheap cost. Another thing you can look into is called Wonderflex.

    No, Sintra is a plastic sheet. You'll find that sign shops use it most, so they can point you in the right direction on where to find it
