You could also use foamcore like the stuff that Craig used to make the Giant Rambots shields. As for the triangles, at my school we have a die-cutter with a triangle shape that is 2" on a side. Some construction paper and spray adhesive could work. Or, how about a stencil and some spray paint. Jay --- James Hazelton <jameshazelton@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > That's great!
