UK Sources for Materials
Hi,
I have been lurking around this site for years, even back when it was on the old board and have got some cash sitting around and with Batman Begins coming up i thought i would be a good time to get myself started on my first bat-suit.
I have been drawing some ideas of what i am interested in achieving, but was wondering where the UK brotheres get there supplies from?
I have been searching the net and have found a few good links such as;
http://www.sylak.com/home.htm
this site has tutorials on life casting etc and see quite informative, i think i have a good understanding on the whole life casting process, but will probably be picking a few brothers minds in the coming weeks.
http://www.nimbacreations.co.uk/acatalog/
this is the site i am planning on getting my life casting supplies from.
http://www.modelshop.co.uk/
this site sells the body double product from smooth on, which is something that i would not mind using.
Well that is some of the links i could find, just thought it might help some brothers out, and if you have any other links post them and we can get a resource of information for us in the UK.
I plan to post a few designs in the next few days.
Joe

Re: UK Brothers
Hey man, nice to have another UK bro here. I had Tiranti recommened to me from a few bros, heres their website Tiranti's website.
You can order a catologue from the site and its a lot easier to use that. They sell videos and books too so you can get pretty much everything you need from there.
Good luck.
Dude.

Re: UK Brothers
The catalogue is great believe me although always check it next to the online prices as they more the up to date ones. Im in Shropshire so nowhere near you unfortunatly, and nowhere near any other UK bros either, damn country life lol Although I know some people in Chester, seen many a Hollyoaks girl aroung that city LOL :wink If you ever wanna talk bats/costuming email me at [email protected], its always cool to get to know more Bros :up

Re: UK Brothers
Hey Kingaswing,
I have been in the background of Hollyoakes and few times, thats a really sad claim to fame actually, I think everybody that has been to chester has been in it at some point.
and i'll probably drop you an email soon.
So how many UK brothers are their on this website, if there is not a definitive list, post in this thread so we can all find out where one another lives.

Re: UK Brothers
Thundercracker,
I guessed you were from england when i seen the Brian Potter Avatar, Phoenix Nights is a bloody hilarious show.
So, how far is everyone along with their suits?
Quick question does anybody know where to buy Sintra in the UK?, i have been looking around the web but have not been able to find it anywhere, or does anybody know of an equivalent?
Thanks
Joe
