Name that material!

[Yodajammies]

So there is absolutely no way I'm going to finish my iron man suit by halloween, so I'm falling back on my "safety" costume - A castle crasher.

I came across this FANTASTIC costume through google and I'm having trouble figuring out what this is made of.

It looks like that 1/8" cheap craft foam sheets you find at michaels etc, but I dont see any seams or places where it would connect.

So my question to you, oh might RPF - What material does this look like to you, and / or where might I acquire such mats to build several of these for my core group of crashers on our autumn night of drunken revelry!

probably cardboard or sintra would be my guess

Can't be cardboard, because of the bend and thinness. I've heard of sintra but never really known what its about, after doing some google images thats what it looks like. Or at least a pretty darn good alternative.

It also looks like a giant posterboard paper o-O



My bets on sintra.

 

[Yodajammies]

I thought sintra was a rigid foam material?

What would the arms and legs be ?

 

[cami_duncan]

i would says foam covered in cloth...like think the foam for "egg create" things for mattresses, but thin. covered in cloth

I'd agree with ZombieRepellant and say that looks like Sintra.

Is the top piece a complete cylinder? If so, my guess is cardboard barrel, the kind dry goods are shipped in. I see what appears to be the metal rim at the top. If it is completely seamless, then I would guess it to be covered in craft paper.

As for the skirt and shoes: http://www.foamorder.com/closedcell.html

Id say Sintra and perhaps Funky Foam for the Legs
