Where to get L200 foam in the UK/Europe

[Demonique]

I'd like to get white L200 foam in the UK or Europe

I contacted foammart.com, they said to use the UPS website to get a shipping quote and the quote for shipping was over €300


There is a place in Ireland that does Plastazote but they use mm measurements (which I find a bit confusing) and their prices don't include VAT

Only here http://www.thamesvalleysupplies.co.uk/plastazote.php but they don't do L200.

Is Plastazote similar to L200 or eva foam?

Edit: The sheets they're selling are 2mX1m, would one sheet be sufficient for this armour or would I need more

I'm thinking of only having the white parts of the leg armour made from the foam and using an undersuit for the pink parts

LD45 is a common choice for foam building and is EVA foam

Worbla is also popular for close fitting armour like that.
It's a thermoplastic that you can put over craft foam.

As it's thin it makes it easy to work with, but makes a convincing looking armour.

Google image "worbla armour"

I want to steer clear of worbla for the moment.

How many sheets of that LD45 should I buy? It's 1m X 2m, what thickness would be best?

This would be my first time making armour

Not sure dude.

I'm no expert on foam building, but most people use 4-10mm.

As it's close fitting, maybe 5mm?

Hey, just seen this as its a 'similar' post.... check out www.poly-props.com. They are in the UK & post to Europe. I've just put a review on the RPF 'Foam Builders in UK & Europe'.
