Sintra?

[spectre]

Hi all, I have just joined these forums and wish to say a big Hi to the community here before my first post...so "Hi all" :smile:. OK straight to business then, I am new to cosplay though I have had along had an interest and dident even realise until quite recently there was a small but growing number of followers here. I would like to start work on a costume(Mass effect Cmdr Shepards armor) and have being looking to get my hands on a pvc foam called Sintra. Has anyone here used it, bought it and can someone advise me on where I might get some. Hours of googling and I cant find an international shipper to Ireland:frown:. Suggestions would be much appreciated! Cheers!

I personally have never heard of Sintra but you could always use Lionboard. Comes in square sheets and is just like a stiff foam. Ive had experience with it. Mostly positive. Goes well if you are going to glue something like Pleather onto it.

Hey, Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the info, is there a reputable supplier of the foam board that I could look up, or somewhere here in Ireland that I can get my hands on it. Cheers

At least with Shepard you only need to worry about the costume, as Commander Shepard looks like everyone.
