excellent
this has give me summit to do over xmas ;0
dude this is so freakin helpful, you have no idea how much you just helped this poor noob out
hey, if you don't mind how did you get the curve to the sholder pads?
yes that is great!
hey nice stuff but for the should pads, how do they make them stiff?
the shoulder pads in the photo were cut from rigid Sintra sign plastic. i got large scrap pieces from a local sign company for free. Some will be happy to sell for cheap.
Trace the template onto the plastic and cut with a dremel cut off wheel or whatever you chose. Sand burs to clean up.
Then boil pieces in a large pot for 20 or 30 seconds. It will be totally flexible and will conform to any shape you bend it to. when you are happy with the shape run it under a cold tap and it will freeze in that shape. you can reheat the whole thing or certain spots until you have it down.
When you get one perfect boil and wrap the others around the first one and so on so they are all identical in curve
