Priceless. Well done. And uses material we ALL have access to.

I think I see a winter project on the horizon!
Great info Dave - definitely appreciate it!
:text-bravo:

Today was a good day. I learnt something new today. Thanks for that ShotgunDave

This is the kind of information that just helps those DIY types out there. I will be featuring this post on the site, FB, etc and invite all of you to do the same.

Another outstanding Shotgun how-to. Thank you!

Very good informative post. I do that exact same thing for the vacuum forming I do.

Another source for plastic is your recycle bin. Our weekly shopping results in more then enough clear plastic to cover my needs. Especially good is the clear containers used for fruit and in my supermarket they even package leaf lettuce up in large plastic containers. All of this clear plastic is ideal for vacuum forming windows as it has a low temperature melting point and is easily formed using the technique Shotgun demonstrated.

I model in 143 scale and because of the size I use the Diecast car with the windows in place as the plug. The result is a perfect fit in in the resin copy shell that i have pulled from the same diecast.

Cheers
