McMaster-Carr sells ABS stock. You can find them at
http://www.mcmaster.com/ . Just search for ABS Sheet Stock and you'll see a bunch of options available.
I did check out McMaster-Carr but they don’t seem to carry any ABS in white. Maybe I am just not looking in the right place? I guess all in all it doesn’t really matter which color I use.

I take it this is what your going to put the snaps onto before glueing these parts to your armour?
If so i recommend the thinner plastic the better so that the small squares can 'mold' easily to the shape of your armour. I use really thin plastic and usually use pieces about 1 1/2 to 2 inch squares.
Yes, I am planning to attach the snaps to the ABS and then gluing that to my armor. Ultimately I would like to create a strapping system that is as close to screen accurate as possible but it is hard to find the information. I can only assume snaps are accurate based on looking at screen captures.
Thank you for the tip about using the thinner plastic. I’ll be sure to do that!
