ROAR Correction of eligibilty!

The softer windscreen I just did for Todd wanted to collapse a bit when I pulled the vacuum, so I re-heated a little hotter and backed off the handle a bit. they cam out good, at least very usable. The harder plastic ones do real well. I may try to build a larger one in the future, I like your build on that. I just don't have a large part need yet. And I really like the portable, on the moment machine I have.

Yes the portables are great, especially for small items.
I can almost get a Hornby mini out of the small one, but not quite.

The reason I did the larger one was to pop old bodies for our little group.
We like racing all sorts but when kt comes to mods and Saturday Nighters its great.
Make 6 or 7 and then everyone does there own thing with it. Breaking it down, its
not really expensive to pop , 3 bodies at a time.
And it can be fun playing around, Tents are a blast if you want scenics for your track, and Sun shades are another easy item. I have even put a group of figures together and made a 4 or 5 person facade for
putting against walls etc where you dont see the fronts. Then just pour plaster of paris in the vac mold and presto the crowd grows haha.

I have just enough Silcone material left for a small car body to cast. I would like to do an old strombecker car.
does anyone have an idea what one would be most popular? I am thinking the cooper climax, but any of them would be fine.
I have all the bodies, just want to do one that would have more appeal to the masses. chime in if you have a favorite.

No problem Mcliams! It just heats the plastic more evenly and faster. I use a PVC Base clear. it very strong, and easy to work with, but requires a little more heat.

Oh, DUH! Still have my original Vac-u-form; but very little useable plastic any more. Mind if I ask where you source the PVC? Then, promise, I'll stop the jacking.
