Hey guys,
I'm educating myself on materials and have a quick Q about HIPS / High Impact PolyStyrene. I haven't worked with it, and I'm trying to get a basic rule of thumb. So without getting specific, whats the most commonly used thickness in props & cosplay? Just a broad overview.
I've seen a bunch of the different ways that it's used, but never a breakdown of what's best for what.
EX: Does 020 have a place at all, is it a waste of time to get involved with anything below 060, etc.
Thanks very much.
Side note- I wanted to post this in General Modeling but the site wouldn't let me so I thought this was the next best place.
