[QUOTE="Psicorp7, post: 3543822, member: 40111"] The reason I say ABS is that is what Stormtrooper armor is made of and it can take quite a pounding without any reinforcing. My set has seen dozens of troops and is just fine without reinforcing. Using ABS or HIPS will save you a ton of steps, money and hassle down the road. Having a material that can flex without breaking is more important than making a fragile material extra rigid and heavier so it will not crack. I only use plexi if I need to make clear visor or part.
