So some month or so ago I ordered a white matte polystyrene sheet from Etra store in town. I went and picked it up today when I finally got the chance to. I can't remember its measures or thickness right now but it's pretty thin, not super thin though. I've never worked with plastic before but I decided to give it a go now.. I hope that after all the research I've done that it will work for making Masamune Date's armor. At least based on what I found it seems like a material with good qualities for armormaking.. but we'll see when I start working with it.

The polystyrene is rolled up inside this blue protection thingy. |

Just to show how big it is (yes, I'm wearing kimono just because I can. Yes, mirror photo) |
That's it for today. Hopefully I will do some Masamune cosplay progress this weekend.
