Hello Bel peeps,
I am Loptr's "Shield Blank Guy". I'll be a Yestare Saturday morning with Shield Blanks in tow. (I have to be back in SLC by 2pm that day which means I have to leave by 1pm.)
As Loptr mentioned I'm holding off on cutting the foam out until I see if there are any specific demands.
If you have a specfic size let me know. I had a 30% price increase on this batch of foam from the last time I purchased a few months ago, Poly resin increases are hitting the market hard right now.
Anyhow, I got a sheet of the 2 inch 2.2lb white and a sheet of the 2 inch 1.5lb light blue and then he threw in some 1.5 black in 1 inch thickness at his scrap price.
I normally build my shields with the handles inset into the 2inch and then cover the outer area with a skin of the 1inch (for a total of 3 inches) which generally keeps them from taco-ing.
Below is a list of the size/cost for the 2 inch thick white 2.2lb. Subtract $5 for the lighter blue in the same size/thickness, and 1/3 of the cost of the white for the size in the 1 inch (round down to the nearest dollar cause I hate making change).
Standard Sizes (because I can sell them to either Bel or Amtgarders):
23inch rounds-$20
30inch round- $30
2ftx3ft Heaters-$35
2ftx4ft towers-$40
If you have a size request that is different then the above post a question for me and I'll figure it out. My plan is to cut out blanks thrusday/friday next week before the event.
I'll also have some Omniblades similar to Loptr's WLS sticks for sell time permitting, and possibly some flatblades (depends on my Supplier of heavy duty cores, they've been out for awhile).
And yes, I'll be throwing a kickback to the event, thanks for having me!

PS I also make custom covers and inset grips so let me know (no guarentees that I'd be able to make the covers ahead of time but there is a chance):
