Translucent Green acrylic , anyone know where I can get it?

[streetjudge79]

I'm making a custom base for a certain "Super" bust coming soon and I'm looking for translucent green acrylic rods and a circular base for it. Does anyone know a specific place that carries it? A lot of the internet places I found only have clear.
Thanks
Steve

can't you just tint the clear with dye?

 

[streetjudge79]

Dunno, I'd just rather get it already green.

Solid rod or tube, and what kind of size are you looking for?

There's a place here in Wichita that carries some green solid rod--not sure how big they go up to.

1" diameter and 3' long for the rod. 12x12 and 1" thick for the base.
Thanks!

Are you wanting to cut a round piece out of flat sheet for the base?

Unless you have money to burn, you are better off buying a 1" thick sheet of plexi (or acrylic) and having it cut into a circle for you.

Rods only come in certain lengths in certain sizes, solid or hollow, and cast (which is what most people use for cutting) only comes in 4' lengths that I have found.

There are a few companies online though, a quick google search for cast acrylic rod should net you a few leads.

Yep, I'd like a circular base in 14 inches diameter with a 3 foot rod. The one guy listed above wants to charge about $450.00 for what I want done, that is way too much.
Does anybody have any suggestions on a base? It's for the Superman Bust coming soon.
