Looking for Shield foam

[Dorian Prior]

Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone had some white closed-cell foam they'd be willing to sell me (or give away if you're really that nice ). I'm really trying to stay away from dropping $70-$90 on a Edhellen strap.

I'm looking for a piece or two that's 24"-28" width and 38"+ length.

Of course I assume that not many of you have pieces that big just laying around with no intention of building anything, but it's worth a shot anyways. Alternatively, if you can give me someone to contact to buy from (I heard somewhere that this stuff comes from Rivendell; might just be hearing things...), that would work. If you can't tell, I don't really like buying things online for some reason...

Also any tips on what else to buy/use to build a strap shield would be appreciated (as specific as you possibly can please).

Thanks for any help.

Tip on shield construction:

First decide what design, Second: read other threads, such as mittelmarch.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=weapon&action=display&thread=2136
Third: get money.

I am also looking for some white shield foam as well. I've heard it comes from Rivendell, so does nyone have a contact there? I'd like to get a piece that's 4' by 3' if possible.

If all else fails just go with an all blue foam shield. A few of the guys up in the Northern Steppes use shields like that and have no troubles. One being Militis.
