Updated. I had to redo all the coding...lol. The coding was used from the old version of the forum and would no longer work when I went to update one link so I had to redo it all.

Thanks Ithica that realy helped!!

 

[hyphen]

Maybe people should name topics, so that people will know what it is and not ask questions that are already answered.

 

[Ithica]

Maybe people should follow directions and read ALL stickies.

i don't mean to be a pain, but i don't have a lot of time to read everything that may be of importance to me. I just want to be able to find stuff easily.

 

[Nikkolae]

well this pretty much gave me everything i needed to know : )

 

[BFenix]

this is superbly useful, to bad the prices and material appearance change from country to country, I guess exploring the different materials you have is a good way of starting to

 

[djbattistella]

[gc 3000]

Good thing that a majority of that stuff is right in my garage. Now I'm pretty thankful my dad's a contractor. xD

[ThunderDragonX13]

I wish I had the money to start making some armor but this will be extremely helpful. I was curious about one thing though: Can you substitute the buckles for black elastic or is that a bad idea?

 

[LunarFox]

This help's a lot thank you very much.

 

[Metalfr3q]

[k11yle]

Some people may cheat like me (explain later) or you may want to do everything from scratch. If you do here is complete list of what you will need by name and location. Ebay is a place where you can get ANYTHING. I am sure you can find better prices but this is based on needs and not cost effeciency. There are little odds and ends like tape, scissors, pens and knives that you will need but you may have that around the house already so I did not post items like that. Unless a direct link is given then it I searched for it on Ebay. I am posting the exact titles as they were found. Links are usless because auctions and sales end. Be advised you will need variations of some items such as resin and etc. When you look at the prices also look at the quantity of the item. Some things I went with the better deal, obviously you don't need 2 sets of eyeware and so on. If you need further guidance please veiw the well written tutorials on specific areas.
