Bitz needed

wanted:

pvc piping, preferably wide, drain piping and old vacuum cleaner hoses.
the longest the pipes need to be is around 125 cm and about 15cm minimum wide, though off cuts and bits considered.

can anyone help me out, this is important, and is for chimera.

It’s inorganic collection time in our parts of the city, so after a couple of forays into the neighbouring streets I found half dozen - ten (I lost track) vacuum cleaner hoses. Hope this is what you wanted. I’ll bring the boxful to Gaffy’s at tomorrow’s committee meeting.

Thank you Hannah that’s plenty for what i need to do. :slight_smile:

for everyone else:

still looking for wide plastic or pvc tubing, preferably 15 - 20 cm wide and about 150 cm long or near as can be gotten. like i said this is for chimera so i would really appreciate the help if possible.

I have some PVC pipe David.

Depending on the use, you can borrow some of it, as it is Knightshade/nzLARPs property for prop and weapon making.

I also have sections of 80mm and 100mm ID drain pipe.

If it is to be consumed/destroyed/irretrievable, I can look at a replacement cost on-sell. Let me know.

thanx for that jared will get back to you about how much i will need, :slight_smile:

I also have sections of 15mm, 20mm and 25mm PVC pipe. Might even have some 40mm and 50mm pipe somewhere too now that I thinks about it.

Also, you can get flexible conduit (which looks like small vaccum hose) from most electrical wholesalers by the meter.

Try the likes of JA Russels or Ideal electrical etc.

cool all useful but like i said 15 cm or 150mm wide is what i seriously need

What length of 150mm pipe do you need? I might be able to scavenge some…

As above

I have also just discovered a need for some plastic sheet, I guess you could say large sheets of thick plastic card. can anyone help here as well?

Jared has there been any success on those tubes we spoke of? I really do need then soon if i am to meet my deadline for chimera. Thanks

Hi David, all I have is 80mm and 100mm pipe. Both are in approx 3m lengths.

hmm i guess the 100mm will have to do, how many lengths do you have, as i need about 3 and a half metres

One length of each. Will get the tape measure out tonight.

cheers jared those would be most useful

I have a piece of what must be 200mm diameter (unused) pvc sewerage pipe. Maybe 2m long.

Was going to make a bfg from it but never did.

Pick up only - from Albany

Thanks derek, i’ll see if i can organise that after the wolfgangs night game.

to the ongoing search list

does any one know where to get plastic drums suitable for making larp armour from?

trademe

Thank you :slight_smile:

I think the two I used for the six XIIIth legion shields cost a total of $30.00 - from TradeMe

Here you go 50 drums available at $15 each in Mt Eden:
