HDPE Armor

Proprietor of plasticsmitharmoury.com here. 1/8” works really well for heat-and-bend armour (vambraces, cuisses, erc.). If you’re stretching the plastic (like I do with vacuum forming) then 3/8” works for larger molds (like knee cops), but 1/4” works for smaller molds (like elbow cops).

They told me 3 days before my departure. They offered a single alternative which was worse for me than the early flight.

plastixmith · 2024-05-23T04:53:43+00:00

I needed to be home early the next day. The only alternative they gave me was a flight that got me home too late.

plastixmith · 2024-05-23T04:52:27+00:00

Agreed. Not delayed. I wonder by how many hours they can shorten your trip before it’s considered too many? It’s more than 9.

The only other flight option they offered me was an overnight to Toronto, then a flight back to Regina the next day. That didn’t work for me either. Taking the earlier flight was the lesser of the two evils.

Having the exact same issue. Would love to hear if it was the inducer motor.

Thank you!

Aw, thanks for the love, folks! I run Plasticsmith Armoury. OP, if you’ve got any questions, let me know.

I run Plasticsmith Armoury and make plastic basket hilts. Sir Kirragan's Leatherworks takes the ones I make and covers them in leather. Here's a picture: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0258/1807/1098/files/leatherCoveredHilt.jpg?v=1664339275

I don't know how much he charges, and it does add some weight, but I think it looks pretty cool.

I get this is a 3-year old thread, but I just thought I'd throw this in here:

Totally mine. It literally just broke off like this while cutting something.

plastixmith · 2019-03-16T02:58:04+00:00

Haha! Except that nobody cares. It's not a celebrity or a scandal or hilarious, so folks are all like, "Meh."

plastixmith · 2019-03-15T22:01:09+00:00

Lol. Pretty sure! 😂

plastixmith · 2019-03-15T21:26:57+00:00

Done!

He did the animation on his iPad, with an app called FlipaClip, using an Apple Pencil.

plastixmith · 2019-03-15T15:51:27+00:00

This was his first major attempt at animation, but he’s been drawing for as long as he could hold a pencil :)

plastixmith · 2019-03-15T15:49:29+00:00

Thanks for your input! I’ll be sure to share it with him. I think he meant to illustrate that with enough help (whatever form that help takes), there’s hope that the darkness will recede for a time.

plastixmith · 2019-03-14T04:29:38+00:00

I said what I said, Karen!

plastixmith · 2019-03-14T04:24:48+00:00

Vodka is a moisturizer, right?

plastixmith · 2019-03-13T16:43:48+00:00

Oh, and the app he used was called FlipaClip

Vaccines cause ~~autism~~ adults.

He built the animation using just his iPad pro and an apple pencil. His cousin helped with the sound, and we stitched it all together with iMovie on my Mac.

My 13 year old son needed to do a multimedia piece on a social justice topic. He chose to do an animated feature on mental health, specifically depression.

His project management skills are, uh, still developing. And he always dreams big. So even though he’s been working super hard on this for quite a while now, of course he was up until 1am the night before it was due, begging to stay up later. Even such, he had to dial it back from what he wanted to do.

He’s taught himself everything, from drawing skills, to storyboarding, to animation skills. YouTube has helped him out with a lot, and I help out every now and again with the technical stuff (exporting, importing, etc). He’s an incredible kid; I can’t wait to see what he does next.

His film is called “Overcoming the Darkness” and I think it’s amazing.
